9. The bit about what went on in the limo did seem odd to me.

It's a heck of a long car and he was sitting right at the back. If he had got up, rushed forward and tried to get through to the driver (even assuming that there isn't a privacy/armoured glass screen there) then wouldn't there have been an almighty altercation with the other agent wrestling him on the floor? Obviously he threw a tantrum in the car, but maybe the physical altercation with the agents was less dramatic than suggested.

As I understood it Ms Hutchinson did not claim that the person who told her what had happened in the car was actually one of the agents involved, in which case it may well have been hearsay. It could have been third or fourth hand by the time she heard it with the story having been embellished or corrupted a little along the way. I dare say that tales of TFG's psychotic episodes were hot gossip amongst the White House staff so it would be easy to understand that happening.

It would be unfortunate if that one particularly sensational bit turned out to be demonstrably inaccurate, as that would certainly be used his apologists to cast doubt on the rest of the testimony. Obviously I hope these doubts are wrong, because the whole image is hilarious...
