I will give
@Uniformed_ReRe partial credit here: Even though he blindly believed Hutchinson's insane claims, when we learned she lied, he was at least smart enough to quietly slink away from her and this thread.
robertbyrdsghost over here still can't let it go LOL
The "insane claims" are being corroborated by other witnesses but the trumpanzees are willfully ignorant of that fact

Secret Service sources reportedly bolster Hutchinson’s testimony
According to a Secret Service source, Donald Trump "tried to lunge over the seat" on Jan. 6. Efforts to discredit Cassidy Hutchinson just got tougher.

Did the Secret Service ‘Officially Debunk’ Hutchinson’s Testimony?
This rumor surfaced in a tweet after Cassidy Hutchinson testified in front of the U.S. House Jan. 6 panel.
Published 29 June 2022 Updated 2 July 2022
Initial Partial Denials from Sources
Shortly after Hutchinson’s testimony on June 28, NBC News
reported that neither Ornato nor Engel had responded to its request for comment, but that a spokesperson for the Secret Service said that its personnel “are available to testify under oath”:
NBC News has reached out to both Ornato and Engel for comment; neither has responded.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi told NBC News that the Secret Service has communicated to the Department of Homeland Security that any and all personnel requested by the Jan. 6 committee are available to testify under oath, responding to Tuesday’s allegations. The Secret Service is part of DHS.
NBC News chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander, who collaborated with colleague Allan Smith on the reporting, also posted the news on Twitter,
tweeting, “A source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel.” This development was also
broadcast on “NBC Nightly News” that night.
Several hours later, Fox News conservative commentator Sean Hannity
displayed Alexander’s tweet to his TV audience, apparently as a way of defending Trump from Hutchinson’s testimony.
A subsequent
tweet from Alexander read, “A source close to the Secret Service says both men dispute Trump grabbed the steering wheel or assaulted an agent. They do not deny that Trump was irate and demanded they drive to the Capitol.” The Washington Post’s Carol Leonnig
reported much the same, as did
CBS News.
Scott Wong and Peter Nicholas also
reported for NBC News that “parts of Hutchinson’s testimony involving Trump’s car ride back to the White House after his Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse have been validated by others,” and that “one person close to the Secret Service said that ‘there are very important pieces of the testimony that are out there that [agency officials] have no issue with. … We don’t want to lose the forest for the trees.'”
In response to some of these partial denials of the Suburban story that were being reported, Jody Hunt, Hutchinson’s lawyer,
tweeted, “Ms. Hutchinson testified, under oath, and recounted what she was told. Those with knowledge of the episode also should testify under oath.”
Despite all of this, none of the reporting amounted to what Adams had claimed in regard to the unsupported idea that the Secret Service “officially debunked” Hutchinson’s claims.
Former Trump Staffers on Ornato
Olivia Troye, a
former adviser to Vice President Mike Pence who served on the White House coronavirus task force,
tweeted following Hutchinson’s testimony and Ornato’s partial denial, saying, “Tony Ornato sure seems to deny conversations he’s apparently had.” The tweet referenced a past conversation that Troye said occurred, but Ornato denied.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House communications director, also
said during the same week as the hearing that she was the person who originally put Hutchinson in touch with the select committee. She
quote tweeted Troye’s tweet, adding, “Tony Ornato lied about me too.”
CNN also reported that “Ornato has a close relationship with Trump and his team” after previously serving “as head of his protective detail and then being granted an unusual leave from his Secret Service duties to be detailed to the White House as deputy chief of staff for operations.”
