incident are ready to testify that what she said didn't happen. Is this true?

(51,081 posts)Let them come and testify under oath.
Remember, Hutchinson said this is what she was *told*, not that she saw it.
Here's the best I've seen so far as far as sourcing....

Again, these are anonymous sources.
Lastly..... Who gives a fuck if the person who told her exaggerated? It's my understanding they have already deposed Ornata and Engel, so let's see what they said under oath

(2,067 posts)Then they better raise their right hand and testify under oath also like she did.

(94,508 posts)She testified that she was TOLD it happened. Not the same thing at all.

(1,823 posts)She never said she saw it, she didnt even say Engle told her this happened to him, she said Ornato told her this story.
Spazito
(50,325 posts)according to her testimony and, when asked, stated Engle did not dispute the description by Ornato then or after.
AkFemDem
(1,823 posts)And came across as very credible and honest.
Engle might have been playing sudoku or surfing pornhub and not paying attention, or he may have been nodding along to every word- the point is people keep repeating this story as if either she said she was there or she said Engle told her and neither is true.
Spazito
(50,325 posts)my point was to say Engle didn't dispute what was being said, not then and not later despite what some anonymous 'source' is saying now.

(3,858 posts)That I was surprised that anyone would be able to get from the passenger compartment to the driver compartment in the Beast. I'm thinking these latest reports are true and it never happened. I'm sure he got mad and huffed and puffed when told he was going home and not to the Capitol, but I doubt he got physical.
It did not happen in the beast, they were using an SUV that day, and one can easily reach from the back to the front seats.

(3,335 posts)Us the video from that day. It showed the suv.
FarPoint
(12,351 posts)I will believe it then....this is telegraphed misleading information from tRumpters....is my sense.
Sogo
(4,986 posts)because it didn't happen in the Beast.
But it was Oranato (sp?) who said it was in the Beast, and she was just repeating what he told her. Contemporaneously, Engel was in the room and didn't object to it having happened the way it was being relayed, so there's that to overcome by Engel....

(7,638 posts)On how this works.
It's fake news, the SS agents hardly knew the Great Orange Annulus of Magat-a-LargeAss. They only got coffee for Ivanka occasionally. They're hacks and GOP political operatives. Some of them beat their wives.
Think it doesn't work? Well here we are and history says it works.
