Hutchinson Testimony Suggests Violent Insurrection Was Trump's Goal On Jan. 6 - All In - MSNBC

Chris Hayes on what Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony suggests: "After knowing there was an armed mob going to the Capitol, Trump wanted to lead the armed mob into the Capitol as essentially the fascist point of the spear—to breeze in to sack the Capitol, to occupy the Capitol, to take it over." Aired on 06/29/2022.

1. Committee has done fine work, patiently allowing others to infer/fill in

the obvious.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I couldn't agree more. What we've seen was definitely worth waiting for!

7. Yep

3. Trump said he would rush into a shooting and stop the shooter, in re: 2017 I think

[Rhiannon12866]

5. I also remember that, it was in response to school shootings.

He said he'd run in shooting - and didn't he also support arming teachers? Has TFG ever even picked up a gun, let alone trained in the use of one? Not to mention the impossibility of him "running in" anywhere...

4. Anyone else surprised or alarmed that the most senior officials seem to discuss everything

with a 24 year old aide? Maybe it goes with the position but she seems to learn just about everything.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Since her desk was right outside the Chief Of Staff office, sounds like she was right near the action

But your point is well taken, seems like TFG had a lot of young staffers. From Mary Trump's book, I understand that there was a great deal of "turnover..."

8. Somewhere here at DU, someone noted Pelosi surprised at Cassidy at

meeting between the Speaker and the trump COS

9. I'm not. Senior officials routinely rely on young aides whom they probably don't think much of.

I’d be willing to bet that Trump’s senior staff assumed that their young, inexperienced aides would just be loyal little drones and were otherwise too insignificant to keep a close eye on.

Oops.
