The two significant new Jan. 6 disclosures from Mark Meadows’s aide

When it comes to whether the proceedings of the Jan. 6 committee will lead to criminal charges, there are two vital questions. Can it be proved that those involved in plotting to overturn the 2020 election:

  1. Knew that their actions were illegal, and …
  2. Pressed forward with a plan to interfere with Congress’s actions that day?

A judge last month suggested that the evidence on these counts was compelling enough to rule that President Donald Trump probably committed a crime. And now the committee responsible for gathering that evidence is detailing more of it.

In a 248-page filing in the legal battle over former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’s potential testimony, the committee offers new details of testimony from his aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

On the first count, Hutchinson confirmed that the White House Counsel’s Office repeatedly told those plotting to overturn the election that their plan to use alternate slates of electors — or go even further — was not legally sound. Despite this, Meadows and others pressed forward with their attempts to overturn the election and with the Jan. 6 rally.

On the second count — the idea that this could interfere with Congress’s duties — Hutchinson said Meadows was directly warned about the prospect of violence that day. She said Anthony Ornato, a senior Secret Service agent and political adviser to the White House, discussed the subject with him in early January.

Separately, Hutchinson detailed the multiple instances in which the White House Counsel’s Office objected legally to the plans to overturn the election on Jan. 6.

According to Hutchinson, the counsel’s office said in some meetings on the subject that it was reviewing the legality of such ideas. But in other meetings — potentially as early as November, more than a month before Jan. 6 — it said the plan was not legally sound.

Warren calls McCarthy a ‘liar’ and ‘traitor’ over Jan 6 tape

https://www.winknews.com/2022/04/24/warren-calls-mccarthy-a-liar-and-traitor-over-jan-6-tape/

Asked Sunday about her reaction, Warren, D-Mass., called the circumstances “outrageous.”

“Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor,” she told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“That is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now, that they say one thing to the American public and something else in private,” Warren said. “They understand that it is wrong what happened, an attempt to overthrow our government and that the Republicans instead want to continue to try to figure out how to make 2020 election different instead of spending their energy on how it is that we go forward in order to build an economy, in order to make this country work better for the people who sent us to Washington.”

“Shame on Kevin McCarthy,” she said.

There was no immediate response Sunday from McCarthy’s office to a request for comment.

metmike: It's very true what she said but the person saying it was a complete fraud for much of her life and isn't credible because of that.

Blatant lies about being Cherokee Indian and about her family. Proven lies about her earlier life and being discriminated against.

Sorry but when she says things, for me..........it's COUNTER productive to whatever case she is trying to make!

Pavlich: Elizabeth Warren’s fake victimhood

https://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/465968-pavlich-elizabeth-warrens-fake-victimhood/


Sorry to change the topic again but it's exactly the message that was SCREAMING in my head when I read her quote.... that I felt compelled to share........because its TRUE!

ps, Warren would have been the first woman president if the truth about her countless blatant lies hadn't come out.

We need more people like her...........getting rejected from holding public office positions!

Reading quotes from Warren, describing the dispicable lies from somebody of the other party would have been like listening to Charles Manson lecturing somebody on the right way to treat other human beings (-:

He might have been right, if he said to respect them and don't kill them but c'mon, it was Charles Manson.

C'mon, it's Elizabeth Warren!

They should use quotes about lies that don't come from pathological liars.....oh, wait, it's politics (-:

Seriously though, there are some politicians that tell the truth much of the time and stand up for things which they themselves have lived by their entire lives.
