Jan. 6 panel turns focus to ex-Trump deputy chief of staff

There has been an increased focus on former White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato after former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified at a committee hearing that he had told her about Trump lashing out in anger and lunging at a member of his protective detail as he demanded to be taken to the Capitol on January 6.

    1. @Kognitosan Yeah, I can see how you people have a problem with justice. You hold it in as much contempt as you hold the Constitution.

  1. It doesnt matter what ornato denies while not being under oath. Same goes for engel. But its really only an anecdote anyway.

    1. @Ganiscol Testimony, even under voath, doesn’t corroborate that testimony nor makes it true in and of itself.

    2. @Lisa Bell oh…so give us your INSIDE info re paying lawyers etc, with evidences and sources

  2. Trump said he was going to go, but then didn’t go. So it stands to reason that they didn’t let him. It would be funny to ask Trump why he lied to the crowd and said he would lead the march.

  3. Secret Service is willing? Who do they work for?
    The Service isn’t the Pinkertons any longer; they are part of the government, not a private entity.

    1. Yeah I don’t get this BS. Would you and I have the “option” not to testify if ordered?

    2. @Mike Bond Only in a real hearing You know the ones with a cross examination and rules actually followed This isn’t that scenario 😁

  4. ORNADO IS A LIAR! He needs to summoned and placed under oath. Why the hell would she make that up!?

    1. YOUTUBE SEARCH:”THE 3RD AND 4TH AND 5TH AND 6TH JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE HEARINGS LIVE “🤫

  5. Mr. Ornato has been assured a high paying job if things don’t work out at the Secret Service.

    1. YOUTUBE SEARCH:”THE 3RD AND 4TH AND 5TH AND 6TH JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE HEARINGS LIVE 😏”

    1. @SummerRain And, again, she being in a room and hearing a story is good enough for the committee to try and get more “testimony” after her.🤣

      The tricky thing here is that her testimony isn’t that Trump attacked the driver. Her testimony is that she stood in a room and was told a story.

      She seems to remember a lot of details consdering she didn’t even witness the event and uses the phrase “to the effect of” alot.

    2. @Mike Hunt That is a real phrase that is used by witnesses. Can you say word for word, conversation’s you had with people from 18 months ago.

  6. This is what he’s denying? THIS? 😂🤣😂 It’s like if Jeffrey Dahmer had told the judge “I never used any ketchup”.

    1. Yes, and last week, Cheeto got all worked up because he said he didn’t call Mike Pence a wimp. That was his response to four hearings. He is unhinged and it’s too bad they didn’t put him out of misery on the 25th.

    2. YOUTUBE SEARCH:”THE 3RD AND 4TH AND 5TH AND 6TH JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE HEARINGS LIVE 😁 “

  7. To use the infamous 1960s call girl quote that brought down a British government: “Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?”

  8. Put the Secret Service agents, their bosses and everybody on the radio that day on the stand under oath to testify what really happened. But that will never happen because the truth would come out.

  9. Doesn’t Ornato now work for Trump Enterprises? This story about what happened in the car is irrelevant anyway as it was second hand or hearsay testimony. Its Cassidy’s first hand accounts of things she actually witnessed that matter. Those are the things I found chilling not whether or not the Insurrectionist in Chief tried to wrestle one of his security detail.

    1. YOUTUBE SEARCH:”THE 3RD AND 4TH AND 5TH AND 6TH JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE HEARINGS LIVE 😏”

    2. Exactly what did she have any first hand knowledge of. You must have heard a different testimony than me. I heard she caught bits and pieces of conversations and assumed a bunch of stuff. I also heard her assume what Mark Meadows was doing. That’s like a CEO of 2 large corporations including the front desk person in on all details of a merger lol. Didn’t happen. And people ask what she has to gain well let’s see. This new found fame will go a long way when she writes her new book won’t it. Just like all the rest of the cronies that went along with the Dems thru the Trump presidency. Shortly after they write a book make millions.

    3. @Eric Braun your correct this pre determined clown show is definitely not a court of law. Otherwise this chicks testimony would have been ripped apart

  10. Boggles my mind why anyone would stick their own neck out for another person that’s not family.. Eventually trump is going to take a huge steamy pile of s–t on all these people that continue to lie for him.. Hundreds or even thousands are already going to jail for his lies.. SMH

    1. People who teach, practice medicine, do social work, firefight, or who function as *responsible* members of law enforcement and responsible/honest holders of public office regularly stick their necks out for people who are not family. The world would be a pretty miserable place if people only took risks for family. The odd thing is taking big risks for people who have a strong history of turning against even their supporters at some point.

  11. Of course the juniors in the WH will answer questions more honestly. They’re the observers with nothing to lose. The valet has more to offer. Pointless asking senior members to investigate themselves. Honesty won’t keep their perks and employment. No brainer.

    1. ummm not sure how well you did in school but the valet would be the one with a job right now – the people who served in Trumps admin – no longer have jobs – Typically someone who works within the white house – IE – an assistant to pres – or chief of staff – like Cassidy was – can have their pick of the best jobs the USA has to offer – but she has not been able to get one – that is a measure of what the world really thinks of Trump and his admin . The young lady told the truth to the best of her knowledge . No doubt she knew what was coming her way – you would have to be blind not to . She strikes me as young , naive she really did not believe she was working for /with Monsters – she is probably reconsidering that now .

  12. Legal fees should not be able to be paid by a person with a conflict of interest outside of the individual themselves.

    1. it is a corrupt act to pay the bills of coconspirators and adds another crime with a 20-year sentence. This is different than a defense agreement where the indictees share all discovery – that is under taken when they need to know who is going to flip – usually in racketeering cases but also when the framework looks like prosecutors will go for RICO.
      Paying a coconspirator’s legal bills is a direct corruption of the adversarial process and RICO-chargeable crime in and of itself

  13. This isn’t a question of “should”. They need to ask Ornato to testify again. If he wants to dispute another witness’s testimony, it should be under oath.

    1. @David Hale trump is the first one i have seen who has earned and deserves a second term.

    2. @Shane Marines ROFLMAO Great job keep posting bs comments that make your agenda look weaker & even more desperate… Keep up the good work 👍

    3. @Jennifer Shaw agree first one in a while anyways. I don’t really like the guy I just like what he accomplished for our country

    4. @David Hale i probably never would have supported him if they didnt lie about him so much. But seeing all the right people against him made me a believer.
