Hutchinson's testimony raises fresh questions about Secret Service's handling of Jan. 6
|
[ABC] A former White House aide's stunning testimony before the House panel investigating the Capitol attack indicated that the U.S. Secret Service may have had advanced warning of the potential for violence at the Capitol, raising new questions about the agency's planning ahead of the riot and actions taken by agents on Jan. 6.
"Stunning" to some possibly. Why would the Capital Police or FBI want POTUS coming around. No sense in taking a chance on executive interference or friendly fire between the Secret Service (who don't fok around) and on-site Law Enforcement, either uniformed or clandestine agent provocateur? Shocking isn't it? The Secret Service either got the memo, or their intelligence cell became witting of a potential problem.
Cassidy Hutchinson,
| ...whose testimony before the committee was contradicted within hours by those she claimed to be quoting, making all her subsequent testimony highly suspect. And those news organizations that breathlessly report her claims, like ABC News, look like gullible suckers... |
top deputy to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, told lawmakers on Tuesday that the security team guarding then-President Donald Trump and senior White House officials were aware there was a serious threat posed by some descending on Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, when Trump was planning to address a rally to support his baseless accusations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.
| It was that security team that declared itself willing, nay eager, to testify before the committee to contradict Ms Hutchinson’s claims. It’s shocking that the ABC News team, seasoned reporters all, is so far behind developments. |
In Hutchinson's telling, the agency famous for its teams of bodyguards, sharpshooters and hyper-skilled drivers was aware that among the throngs headed to Washington were some who were planning to carry a variety of weapons and military gear, and were seeking to target members of Congress and breach the Capitol building.
If so, the Secret Service apparently failed to coordinate effectively with law enforcement partners, the public, or congressional leaders to strengthen the security posture -- and instead ferried a number of people under their protection to the Capitol complex with little more than their personal security details.
The Secret Service declined to answer questions from ABC News.
