Listen: What Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony reveals about the truth behind Jan. 6th. 'The fundamental principles have to be that we are a nation of laws and no one, not even the president, is above them,' ARozenshtein tells OnPointRadio.
"I once described Mark Meadows as the worst chief of staff in history in an opinion piece for the Washington Post back in January of 2021. The truth is, I didn't know the half of it. But we learned from Cassidy Hutchinson's amazing, gripping testimony the other day is that he was not just a world class sycophant. Which, of course, he'd always been. Or missing in action when it came to telling the president hard truths that needed to be told.
"And what does it tell you about these people in the Trump White House that Cassidy Hutchinson, a 25 year old woman, maybe even younger at the time, had to tell Meadows not to go to the war room for the insurrection at the Willard Hotel? Or that, Oh, by the way, maybe you should say something before the vice president is hung? It's just extraordinary.
I was in the vicinity of a conversation where I overheard the president say something to the effect of, you know, I don't f'ing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the f'ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march the Capitol from here. Let the people in. Take the f'ing mags away.:"I think it's important for two reasons.
"But I do think if there really is evidence and again, you have to be established in a court of law and that's its own thing. If there really is evidence that the president gave an order to decrease the safety, knowing that those people were then going to march to the Capitol. That strikes me as a separate and quite damning action to encourage a riot or obstruction of Congress, or potentially even seditious conspiracy.":"I think this is the time.
