    I don't think that is quite right. There was security to hear his speech at the Ellipse. Trump was angry that the numbers at his speech were down because people did not want to go through security and lose their weapons, so he asked that the "mags" be removed. I don't think security actually removed them.

    Trump also said something to the effect of "I'm not worried, the crowd isn't here to hurt me." Which insinuates he knew the crowd was there to hurt someone.

    It was shocking testimony but the least consequential as far as the events of the day criminality. It was also the most removed from the actual incident the witness was.

    Cassidy was asked by another person of she had heard what happened in the beast. She said know then relayed what she was told.

    It doesn't hurt her credibility in the slightest since she never claimed the incident even happened. She only testified she was told about it.

    Notice that Engle who was there when she was told the story didn't deny the story then or at any other time to Hutchinson. And he isn't denying that at all.

    are you endorsing hearsay?

    No, that is why I said it was least important or relevant testimony of the day.

    It's no surprise that it is the one thread Trump supporters will cling to in this day of incredible testimony.

    She never claimed that the incident even happened. She only said it was told to her.

    So her credibility is on no way damaged. Also, it doesn't really affect the criminality of Trump's conduct.

    Of course the source spoken of may be incorrect.

    are you trying to suggest you understand the hearsay evidentiary rule?

    He posted a meme of Donald Trump driving a limo. He doesn't care.

    There is a reason why they are trying to change the focus and are not commenting on Trump knowing there were armed people and the crowd and that he said they could go to the capitol before his speech and then told the people at the speech to go there knowing they were armed.

    Somehow, they don't have anything to say about that.

    Somehow they don't have anything to say about Trump commenting that Mike deserved it when he was told the crowd was threatening to kill the VP.

    They are going to try and latch into the one sliver based on the 'source' mentioned in the tweet

    The QAnon kook and election stealing liar has already started Trump's dirty work.

    Are we now pretending that you care about facts?

    Since the evidentiary record clearly means nothing to you boot licking, truth denying trumpers, I can only surmise that you are upset with todays testimony and this is the best you can come up with to defend your lord and savior Trump.

    it is hilarious though that you somehow think you are scoring points in this online forum. Everyone here knows you are without principle and have prejudged the outcome in favor of your Lord Trump.

    perhaps you can regain an interest in rockets basketball with this excellent draft and post useful things in GARM, because it sure as hell isn’t happening here.

    It is absolutely the best and only defense they can come up with even though we don't know the source, neither the driver nor secret service have testified about the incident, but that's still the best response to the testimony today... Or previous days.
    1. Nothing about Trump knowing their armed rioters there and wanting and encouraging them to go to the capitol.

    2. Nothing about Trump knowing that he legitimately lost the election.

    3. Nothing Trump knowing it was illegal to push forward the 'alternate' electors.

    4. Nothing about Trump saying to the DOJ to just say the election was in question and let him and Republican congressmen take care of the rest even while knowing the election wasn't in question.

    5. Nothing about Trump and his team planning the insurrection before the 6th and having been notified of the plans for violence ahead of time.

    5. Nothing about all of the evidence coming from Trump appointees and his inner circle.

    So they are left to try and make a big deal out of a car ride, based on anonymous source from secret service about people who haven't yet been under oath.

    Clear signs they have lost.

    Imagine being this brainwashed and intellectually dishonest. Hard to fathom but there are millions of these idiots.

    Lawyers included, like that one on here who's too busy to watch the investigation but acts like a know it all. Squeezing out excuses for a bunch of domestic terrorist thugs who were armed and ready. Thank God Trump didn't get his way and have them let through with their weapons like he wanted.

    That post was in real time when I was trying to processing all the WFT info coming out. I think
    even now there’s still questions of what secret service did and didn’t do. It’s also an ongoing theme with him of those closest to him just ignoring his orders basically to protect him from himself so I think we need his detail under oath for sure.

    Another thing the Trump supporters aren't talking about were the request for pardons from Meadows and Giuliani which was testified to today. So they have knowledge of their own vulnerability to criminal charges.
