Another 'star' GOP impeachment witness may have lied under oath: Cassidy Hutchinson lawyer

[question everything]

Source: RawStory

House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, which was already on shaky ground, may have just suffered another blow.

At issue is the testimony of Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden who has made allegations of corruption against President Joe Biden. While talking with House Republican investigators last week, Bobulinski accused former White House official Cassidy Hutchinson of lying about him after she claimed in her book that she saw him secretively talking to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in Rome, Georgia.

But now ABC News reports that William H. Jordan, an attorney representing Hutchinson, has produced a photo of Meadows and Bobulinski in Rome, Georgia, in which Bobulinski is clearly wearing a mask covering his face.

Additionally, the two men are talking while standing in between two cars, which matches Hutchinson's recollection that she "observed Mark and Tony Bobulinski's interaction through a gap in the vehicles."

Ex-Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson says photo refutes Biden impeachment witness's claims

https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-white-house-aide-cassidy-hutchinson-pushes-back/story?id=107465387

including a photo of them talking and Bobulinski is wearing a ski mask

"Mr. Bobulinski claims under oath that he was not wearing a mask, that Mr. Meadows did not hand him anything, and that Ms. Hutchinson was 'fabricating facts,'" Hutchinson's lawyer wrote in the letter. "Perhaps Mr. Bobulinski's memory is impaired about the meeting, and a picture would help refresh his recollection."

The photo appears to show the pair meeting at night between SUVs with Bobukinski wearing a hat and a black mask. During his testimony with the House Oversight panel, Bobukinski said he remembered meeting Meadows at the Georgia rally and having private security with him at the time.

"Ms. Hutchinson took a photo of Mr. Bobulinski meeting with Mr. Meadows from her vantage point just on the other side of the vehicle from their conversation," Jordan wrote in his letter. "A copy is attached to this letter. Mr. Bobulinski may be somewhat hard to make out in this image -- since he is wearing his Penn State hat ... and a mask."

1. This should bring comer and gym down.

Shitshow

[Warpy]

11. It should get them sued for slander

Hunter Biden is a private citizen and not a public figure. It should be a doddle to prove malice. The rest of the family who have been named by these two grandstanding, ten cent McCarthys should join the suit.

Of course the screeching monkeys on the far right will only say the witnesses were smeared by Antifa and the Deep State, their favorite bogeymen.

I don't think those people matter much any more. Covid has been reduced to an occasionally deadly nuisance and lockdown is over and sensible people are getting pretty sick of the whole damned bunch.

[calimary]

41. I wish!!!

[Freethinker65]

2. Cue Maxwell Smart retort... "would you believe..." ?

[Kid Berwyn]

3. A photo huh?

Isn't perjury against the law, I mean, if you're not a Republican?

[Walleye]

7. Good job Cassidy. I am so sick of all this lying and slandering

[sheshe2]

35. She risked everything to tell the truth.

A very brave young woman.

[paleotn]

40. I agree.

[orleans]

18. thanks for this photo. images show up way better in this one than the one i was looking

at on the abc website

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Comer is running a shadow impeachment without regards to evidence or at times logic.

It is a total sham.

[KS Toronado]

8. Think they're out to hurt them with public opinion

more than anything, hoping it flows over to the ballot box.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

19. Brought to you by the same bunch who always scream that

any attempt to hold the stinky slobfather accountable for his crimes is “politically motivated”.

[Attilatheblond]

30. All because the twice impeached, guilty of rape, defamation, & fraud criminal facing 91 more criminal charges

wants to 'level the field' between himself & an honorable and effective public servant, Joe Biden.

[temporary311]

17. Its not just a sham,

its a foreign intelligence operation in collusion with the GOP.

[Irish_Dem]

39. This is the most important point. The GOP is colluding with Russian intelligence operatives.

For the purpose of stealing an election.

[krkaufman]

38. Benghazi redux

It’s not really about impeachment, anyway, just trying to create an aura of corruption that will net a few points come the election.

[Trust_Reality]

5. Except for her confusion about political policies, Cassidy is a hero of mine.

Regarding political policies, she was too young when she decided to be a Republican. She didn't have enough information or experience. I think she based her decision on what they were saying or claiming which of course was total bullshit.

[obamanut2012]

21. She is young, and was raised in a MAGA home

She didn't go to an Ivy or Public Ivy, her family isn't rich. She has done teh right thing, and I feel quite confident she will go the way of Nicole Wallace relatively soon.

Sarah Palin turned the direction Wallace was faced, so hopefully all of this will turn Cassidy fully, too.

She has been very brave imo.

The first President I voted for was Reagan, and I voted for Jesse Helms and Howard Coble, too. Because I was barely an adult, my father was then (no longer) a wingnut, and I was so apolitical then. She can change.

[Escurumbele]

28. Sarah Pain what?

[Fla Dem]

6. I have been so impressed with her, willing to literally put her life on the line for truth and justice.

[LisaM]

9. This is high farce.

It's starting to sound like the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

[mitch96]

26. Produced and directed by Boris and Natasha... That's how they do it in ruskie mir...nt

[UpInArms]

10. I love that she "took a photo"

Now, THAT is how to hand them their asses on a plate!

[Prairie Gates]

24. Bobulinski thought a Gen Zer wasn't gonna come with the fliiiiiicks?

[cab67]

12. Comer and Jordan won't do the right thing.

Neither will resign, and neither will decline to run for re-election in November. And both are likely to be re-elected.

But if the Democrats take control of the House, their first order of business should be to censure both of them. Censuring MTG wouldn't be a bad idea, either. Nor would stripping them of their committee assignments.

(Ejecting them from Congress would be even better, but that's not going to happen.)

[PortTack]

13. Oh well...just another "that isn't a key part of the investigation" statement by comer

[mn9driver]

14. I was expecting the photo to be more ambiguous

But even a mask and a hat can’t hide that square head. It’s him.

[dlk]

15. Is anyone surprised?

Hutchinson is the outlier who actually tells the truth. They are few and far between in the Republican Party.

[Bev54]

16. This is great, I love it when these guys get caught in their lies and it is all coming out now.

Here is a copy of Jaime Raskin's letter to Bobulinski's lawyer

20. possibly a wrong link? nt

[Bev54]

27. Yes thanks, I have too many links saved in a document and picked up the one before it.

Here is the proper link

31. Thanks, that was an interesting read!

Jamie Raskin really knows how to use the English language:

Nonetheless, allow me, first, to pierce the fog of his vituperative fulminations to share with you several obvious instances from Mr. Bobulinski’s testimony in which he accused a multitude of individuals and organizations of lying

I love the phrase "vituperative fulminations." Good work, Rep. Raskin!

[orleans]

32. if it was me i would have had way too many tabs open lol

i'll look at it later (gotta go out for now)

but thank you for the link!

[Bev54]

33. I save my links in a word document so I can go back to them anytime.

[orleans]

36. great idea! nt

[crickets]

37. Jamie Raskin is amazing!

This man's vocab is fire:

Of course, your client’s interview was chaotic to the point of burlesque as he repeatedly yelled, shouted, filibustered, and hurled outlandish and baseless accusations and insults against Democratic Members and staff. Nonetheless, allow me, first, to pierce the fog of his vituperative fulminations to share with you several obvious instances from Mr. Bobulinski’s testimony in which he accused a multitude of individuals and organizations of lying:

Every lie is refuted in glorious detail, with one to six footnotes on each page denoting sources. It's beyootiful! *chef's kiss*

[erronis]

22. Why did I immediately think this would be Stefan Passantino that was accused of lying?

https://lawandcrime.com/jan-6-committee/lawyers-want-donald-trump-ethics-lawyers-who-represented-former-white-house-aide-before-jan-6-committee-disbarred/

He is now representing Bobobolinski.

There going to be running out of even the sleazy ones pretty soon.

I hear Liberty U and PreagerU (not a real school) have online lawyer degrees. Send $100,000 to http: //trumplegal.con/ and you'll get your sheepleskin and a free graduation cap (red, made in China) in a few weeks/years.

23. "Is it really perjury if there's no underlying crime" defense about to be deployed

"We're just talking," a la Glengarry Glen Ross.

Outdoor mask for a Republican lawyer type...

25. Bobulinski can share a cell with Peter Navarro

[underpants]

29. Gal Luft ✅ Archer ✅ Smirnov ✅ Toni Bobulinski ✅

Not that Devon Archer lied but he definitely blew up in their faces

34. When does this transition from circus act to malicious prosecution?

Don't think that would be covered by the Speech and Debate Clause.
