Malcolm Nance just criticized Cassidy Hutchinson for

42. Even Butterfield didn't reveal the existence of the tapes until he had to testify

to the Senate committee, but he told the truth because he knew he had to and it was the right thing to do. That testimony is what finally brought Nixon down. He was a Republican who worked for Nixon. So if we follow the reasoning of some other posters relating to Cassidy Hutchinson, we must also hate Butterfield because he was a Republican and all Republicans are bad, and why did he work for bad Nixon in the first place, and why didn't he tell anybody about the tapes when he first knew about them instead of having to have it dragged out of him by the committee? The only similarly bad thing Butterfield didn't do is write a book, at least not until much later, but he wasn't an out of work, broke 24-year-old. I don't know if Butterfield ever got death threats, but even Nixon's goons weren't as brainlessly violent as TFG's goons.
