Despite warnings from his top lawyers, former President Donald Trump insisted on going to the Capitol on Jan. 6 -- and he "lung[ed]" at a Secret Service agent who told him he couldn't, a former White House aide said.

Former top aide to Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson, made the comments in a Jan. 6 Committee hearing Tuesday. She said that White House Counsel Pat Cipollone warned repeatedly that Trump going to the Capitol could put many people at the White House in legal jeopardy.

Today's hearing and testimony was hard to listen to. To learn that a sitting President and Chief of Staff were given reports that people in that crowd had handguns, rifles, spears affixed to flag poles, knives and other weapons - and they then told the crowd to "fight" and "march to the Capitol" - was appalling.

It took a 25 year old aid to tell the truth. He really was unhinged. I think he mistook himself as Putin thinking he had all that power. “I’m the F***ing President!”

One of the most shocking testimonies was Trump trying to get them to remove the scanner things that people had to walk through to look for weapons. Secret service was identifying armed people with assault weapons and Trump wanted to let them in because they weren’t going to hurt him. Who cares about Pence and Pelosi.

Also a total dissreguard for the other people who came to hear him speak, and the Law Enforcement present that day.
Lawmakers played police radio transmissions identifying weapons — including AR-15s — that supporters of former President Donald Trump had with them on Jan. 6, 2021, the day of Trump’s rally and the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“Three men walking down the street in fatigues carrying AR-15s... at 14th and Independence,” a voice says in one transmission.

“Elevated threat in the trees... American flag face mask... weapon on the right-side hip,” a third transmission says.

Cheney noted that among the supporters who chose to pass through metal detectors so they could get closer to Trump, security screened weapons and equipment including pepper spray, knives, batons and gas masks. Several thousand more people did not go through metal detectors and watched from the nearby Washington Monument lawn.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, said that Tony Ornato ― who oversaw Secret Service movements ― said he told Trump there were people armed with weapons attending his rally on Jan. 6.

"I don't f- care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the f-mags (metal dectors) away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.”

I’m shocked and devastated to hear it!
Actually I thought he’d never go this far. I always thought Trump was a weasel, which is an insult to the animal. But go to the Capitol? No. I figured he was brighter than that. Apparently I was wrong.

Why weren’t these people walking down the street with weapons immediately arrested? It’s against the law to carry in DC.

Not to mention the fact that it would be impossible for him to do in the Limo and this testimony was hearsay, but most likely just say with no hear involved.

Her claim is impossible, and she was not even there. The SS has stated they will testify that it's not true. Use your head and figure out why its not true. Not only is it not true, its physically impossible.
