[Alien Life Form]

Source: NPR

Honig told NPR the reports that question the anecdote about what took place in Trump's vehicle are potentially damaging.

"This is what we call a credibility contest, and people would have to decide who they believe," Honig said.

"I think it's really important to note that another White House staffer Alyssa Farah...has said publicly that she testified to the committee about something that Tony Ornato said to her that was damning to the president and Ornato, she said, falsely denied that as well," Honig said. "If I have to decide between Cassidy Hutchinson and Alyssa Farah...and Tony Ornato, I'm coming out on Hutchinson and Farah's side."

Tony Ornado has previously denied making derrogatory comments about Trump.

1. The headline doesnt do justice to the info I wanted to present which is that

Tonu Ornado has denied making negative comments about Trump previously. I think this is big

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. I remember Tony Ornato & Don's Biggest hit:

“Knock three times on your cell bars if you’re guilty…twice on the can…if you’re takin’ the fifth…”



Young folks under 50 will probably be confused or mystified, so…

3. Throw a ketchup ribeye 'gainst the West Wing wall...

Sorry, best I could do on short notice!

6. Such a great song. Thanks for reminding me.

[callous taoboy]

15. It really is.

[onetexan]

18. I know that song well

[bucolic_frolic]

4. I think there's an element of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington in the current environment

Neophytes against corruption, the young versus the old. Ms. Hutchinson was just too honest and too idealistic for all the slimeballs to carry the day.

5. Also she probably identifies with the young congressional aides whose lives were in danger.Hiding

7. i thought the secret service agent who held trump's arm and trump grabbed --

i thought he was sitting in the room looking "befuddled" (or something to that effect) (according to cassidy) while tony told her the story.

if it wasn't true why wouldn't the agent correct the guy relaying the story to her?

on edit: or am i getting the storyteller confused with someone else?

[Deminpenn]

21. You are correct

Ornato waved Hutchinson into his office and told her the story while Engel sat and listened. Hutchinson described Engel as looking befuddled or discombobulated or something to that effect. At no time during Ornato's description of what happened did Engel disagree wih or correct it.

8. Trump had full knowledge of the coup attempt

and tried to get other government officials murdered.

That's what counts

And notice that they aren't talking about that so much.

Don't let them grab the narrative over whether Trump lost it in an SUV or not. That's not what counts.

[ZZenith]

14. Exactly right. The headline is attempted murder

Not fucking ketchup on the wall.

These big media moguls sure do love them sweet, sweet tax cuts.

[Duppers]

16. Yes, greed motivates them ...

above truth and country. They are such myopic idiots.

[EndlessWire]

19. Yep. Totally agree. n/t

[thenelm1]

9. Ornato went from being part of the presidential SS detail to being an aide within the...

Administration. How often does an SS agent get raised up into a staff position?

That seems like an indicator of being a TFG supporter to me.

Also makes his motives and credibility suspect in my book.

[Cha]

13. Exactly! TY!

10. The one part they aren't denying is that Trump was agressive in his verbal

attacks on the SS about the going to the capitol. She was told that too by the same actors

[LoisB]

11. I don't think her testimony "swayed conservative media". I think it has collectively decided

TDFG is a loser and it is switching allegiance to DeSantis.

[Omaha Steve]

17. Kick

22. SS did not alert anyone that mob around Ellipse (outside MAGs) was armed - they aren't credible.
