The sham Jan.6 committee really thought their so-called start witness will give them a huge advantage in persecuting President Trump, not until they learned the hard truth.
Well, is this considered a “prebunk” since she debunked herself ahead of time?
The newly uncovered text messages demonstrate that the Democrats’ proclaimed “star witness” in the January 6 committee hearings didn’t hold the highest of opinions of the said committee prior to her testimony before Congress – with Cassidy Hutchinson referring to her subpoena as “BS.”
On February 1, she sent a text seeking help from the First Amendment Fund, a group started by the American Conservative Union that helps Trump officials cover legal costs related to the sham January 6 investigations. It appears Hutchison had quite a different attitude towards the committee prior to her appearance at the “emergency hearing” last week.
We’re starting to think the Trump-haters really need to up the bar when looking for a hero. Lionizing someone because they MIGHT FINALLY take down a single politician you’ve dedicated your entire life to hate is not a mentally healthy way to live. You’d think they’d have learned their lesson with Mueller but nope.
Indeed, after her testimony, the cameras caught a telling moment when embattled Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney was seen throwing her arms around Hutchinson and offering great thanks for her quickly discredited claims.
If questioner (Cheney) wants to appear fair to jury (American people), it probably is not a good idea to get caught on camera hugging the witness…see below from @Politico;already people have very strong feelings – both ways – about this hearing and pics like this don’t help; pic.twitter.com/lbdkMtzT4y

Matt Schlapp, a known conservative activist who helps run the fund as the Chairman of the American Conservative Union, said he is happy they did not end up assisting Hutchinson. He said in a post on Twitter that “Relaying WH hallway gossip as fact does not qualify as first-person testimony.”
Ms. Hutchinson approached @CPAC for help through our First Amendment Fund which has helped J6 political victims defend themselves. I am pleased we did not assist her performance today. Relaying WH hallway gossip as fact does not qualify as first person testimony. https://t.co/nfQbPshIju

Hutchinson seemed keen to find some way of avoiding her appearance before the committee, the Daily Caller report noted.
Hutchinson reportedly contacted one of Schlapp’s associates looking for a way to get the American Conservative Union or the First Amendment Fund POC to come to her aid.
“Do you happen to know a First Amendment fund POC I could reach out to? I was subpoenaed in early Nov., but the committee waited to serve me until last week (after Ben’s deposition),” Hutchinson texted the Caller reported.
“I had to accept service because the U.S. Marshalls came to my apartment last Wednesday, but I haven’t made contact with the Committee. I’m just on a tight timeline and just trying to figure out what my options are to deal with this BS,” Hutchinson continued.
Hutchinson also said that she didn’t want the situation to get “unnecessarily elevated.”
Hutchinson claimed that then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato relayed this incident to her, with Ornato allegedly telling Hutchinson that Trump lunged at Agent Engel with his other hand while trying to control the steering wheel.
However, this incident of which Hutchinson claimed she was told by Ornato has faced reasonable criticism – namely due to Ornato reportedly saying he told her no such thing. Additionally, the Secret Service reached out to the House select committee to inform them they’ll “make the agents involved available to testify under oath” and “are also prepared to say under oath that the incident itself did not occur.”
But the controversy surrounding Hutchinson’s testimony has become all the more intriguing, as text messages reveal the former aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was seeking the assistance of the First Amendment Fund regarding her subpoena to testify before the January 6 committee.
