Regarding the notion that there were no long guns at the insurrection because only three handguns were recovered - that line of reasoning really doesn't make sense. The police were completely overwhelmed during the insurrection. There is no way that they would have been trying to disarm anyone carrying an AR-15.
So, I'm not sure how many weapons and what type were being carried by the insurrectionists that day. But the fact that only a few were confiscated does not in any way provide evidence that there were only a few there.
There were many weapons confiscated at the Ellipse. Trump was angry that they weren't letting people into his rally with weapons. People were staying away from the rally because they didn't want their weapons to be seized.
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: When we were in the offstage announce area tent behind the stage he was very concerned about the shot, meaning the photograph that we would get, because the rally space wasn't full. One of the reasons which I've previously stated was because he wanted it to be full and for people to not feel excluded because they had come far to watch him at the rally.
And he felt the mags were at fault for not letting everybody in. But another leading reason and likely the primary reason is because he wanted it full and he was angry that we weren't letting people through the mags with weapons, what the Secret Service deemed as weapons and are — are weapons.
But when we were in the offstage announce tent, I was part of a conversation — I was in — I was in the vicinity of a conversation where I overheard the President say something to the effect of, you know, I - - I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take that effing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in. Take the effing mags away.
Secret Service agents are prepared to refute testimony that Trump lunged at a steering wheel during the Jan. 6 riot to try to go to the Capitol, a source tells Fox News.

whether trump lunged or not is one of the least important parts of the testimony.
what we do know, and what all agree with, is that trump really really wanted an armed mob to rush the capitol, and trump wanted to be part of it. And afterwards, trump refused to stop the coup and attempted assassination of the vice president of the united states. Because those are two things trump wanted.
if only Trump were president again inflation in Spain would be lower.
I think that's how this works. In the violent, clouded mind of a spankist.
Spanish 12-month inflation rose to 10.2% in June, the first time it has surpassed 10% since April 1985, from 8.7% in the previous month, preliminary data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) showed on Wednesday, Trend reports with reference to Reuters .

Arrest him.
He not only wanted it to happen, it was part of the plan all along.
That's the real importance of yesterday's testimony. It brings us closer to the moment where it can be proven beyond a doubt that Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he sent the mob to the Capitol.
It means Trump was part of the seditious conspiracy.

Inflation rate in Italy is 1.94%.
Inflation rate in Japan is 2.5%
Inflation rate when Trump was president was 1.7%
Inflation under Joe Biden is 8.6%
what is wrong with you this week Sally? You are messing up day after day. If you need to talk let me know.
Rich nations across the globe (save Japan) are suffering inflation in the same ballpark as the USA. US inflation is not Biden's fault. The great majority of it, anyway.
Annual inflation rate in Italy was revised slightly lower to 6.8% in May of 2022 from initial estimates of 6.9%. Still, it is the highest inflation rate since 1986, prompted by a broad-based increase in consumer prices, namely energy (42.6%), food (7.1%), repair and personal care (4.4%), and services related to transport (6%). Core inflation which excludes prices of energy and unprocessed food increased to 3.2% from 2.4% and excluding energy only, it accelerated to 3.6% from 2.9%. Compared to the previous month, consumer prices were up 0.8%, slightly below preliminary estimates of 0.9%. source: National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT)
The annual inflation rate in Italy rose to 11.9 percent in October of 2022, the highest in over 38 years, picking up from 8.9 percent in the previous month and soaring past expectations of 9.6 percent, according to preliminar...

It's very telling that Hutchinson gave all this damning testimony and the best Fox can do is to quibble over whether the steering wheel story is accurate or not.
Fox needs to be careful here. They don't want their viewers to go and watch the actual hearing. But that's what will happen if they keep promoting the steering wheel story.
It's also interesting that the steering wheel story is the only part of the hearings that Fox is covering. For instance, I don't see anything on their web site about:

yeah right wing media will just scream about the lunge and say *that* is the story and it isn't corroborated then it's ok to ignore the entire testimony. What an evil right wing media is.
Fwiw, Alyssah Farah, former trump admin staffer, has said that Ornato is a liar and has previously denied things she absolutely knows happened. Ornato is a political trumper, not a career apolitical guy. He's not a guy you'd trust to tell the truth.
Published date: 28 June 2022 20:38 UTC | Last update: 15 hours 44 mins ago 301Shares French President Emmanuel Macron weaved his way through a crowd at this week's G-7 summit in Bavaria, Germany, to tell US President Joe Biden that Saudi Arabia and the UAE wouldn't be able to increase oil production. "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt," Macron said as he approached Biden, who was walking ahead of his French counterpart, in conversation with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. "I had a call with MBZ," Macron told Biden, referring to the leader of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan. "He told me two things. One, 'I'm at a maximum, maximum [production capacity]' - what he claims… Second, according to MBZ, the Saudis can increase a little bit, by 150 [thousands barrels per day] or a little bit more, but they don't have huge capacities at least before six months' time."
Ornato is a true-blue trumper, which means he is a politics guy, and of the lying sort since he worked for Trump. I'd be very surprised if he testified on the lunge under oath. But it really doesn't matter.
The Secret Service also took the unprecedented step of allowing the former detail leader to temporarily leave his job to become a White House political adviser. Anthony Ornato was hired as White House deputy chief of staff earlier this year. In that role, he helped coordinate a controversial June photo opportunity in which Trump strode defiantly across Lafayette Square to pose with a Bible after the park was forcibly cleared of peaceful protesters. Ornato also helped coordinate numerous rallies across the country during the pandemic, per Trump’s wishes. The mass gatherings were blamed for increasing the spread of the coronavirus in some of the communities where they took place and left many in the ranks of the Secret Service infected or exposed.
I am beginning to believe that this "star witness" will end up bringing great harm to the investigation. It might even get some libs to question the intentions of the committee. Owned by one of your own.
Hutchinson is not the star witness. This is building up. There is a lot more to come.
Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann delivered a damaging blow to Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday as he claims that he wrote the handwritten note that Hutchinson told...

Are you mental? Everyone who can corroborate her story has denied it happened.
Democrats have lied so much about 1/6 that no one who wasn't determined to believe the nonsense from the beginning will be swayed by this circus.
Hutchinson is not a Democrat. She is a Republican and former loyal member of Trump's West Wing staff.
And she testified under oath that this was her handwriting. I think Herschmann is just mistaken.
But if you find Herschman to be credible, then you need to go look at the damning testimony that Herschman has given against Trump.
It's certainly possible that Herschman wrote it, but it's not likely. And what really matters is the note itself.
In response to Herschmann's claim, a spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee said, "The committee has done its diligence on this and found Ms. Hutchinson's account of this matter credible. While we understand that she and Mr. Herschmann may have differing recollections of who wrote the note, what’s ultimately important is that both White House officials believed that the President should have immediately instructed his supporters to leave the Capitol building."
Besides, Hutchinson is not the star witness. This is building up. There is a lot more to come.
For the record, no one is denying the core revelations.
Trump was told the crowd was armed. It was so obvious they were armed that Trump wanted the metal detectors taken down so the armed folks could come into the rally zone.
Trump then told the armed mob to go to the capitol and fight like hell. KNOWING THEY WERE ARMED.
Trump really wanted to join the armed mob as it sacked the capitol building.
Trump was generally in favor of the riot and the attempted assassination of the vice president of the united states. He wanted it to proceed and did little to stop it.
That's what we got here, and to my knowledge no one is denying any of it.
It was the very definition of a coup and no one is denying it.

Yes they breathlessly arranged a surprise hearing for Hutchinson because something more was coming later... lol...

Arrest Trump.
Agip, you and I both know that Trump is never going to be arrested. Remember how you LIbs swore that Trump would be enshackled the moment he left office? Well, here we are almost 2 years later and .... Trump is having a great time just enjoying life .. on the outside. Now if Trump travelled to Moscow with vaping stuff - THEN he might be arrested. But aside from that, Trump will never see the inside of a cell.
Are you mental? Everyone who can corroborate her story has denied it happened.
I thought you weren’t watching lol.
Oh there's no cross-examination or rebuttal in this sham. People who rely on the main stream media will only know what the Democrats want them to see which is exactly the purpose of this committee.

I didn't say he'd be convicted - no jury in America would convict him.
but he's got two grand juries on him, and lots of federal and state prosecutors working to uncover his crimes.
But you are right. Americans are too m'agad to convict. Finding 12 Americans to agree to jail him is unlikely to happen. He'll be acquitted.

Do you know why the 2 lead prosecutors for the SDNY quit? Am sincerely curious.
