Trump grabs steering wheel, then tries to choke the guy stopping him

Cassidy Hutchinson just related what happened when Trump got into the Beast after his Jan 6th rally speech, assuming he was being driven to the Capitol to get into the House of Representatives. When told it wasn't going to happen, Trump stepped to the front and tried to grab the steering wheel. Somebody took his wrist and told him to let go. Trump lunged at him and put his free hand around his throat.

WHEN I RETURNED TO THE WHITE HOUSE, I WALKED UP TOWARD THE CHIEF OF STAFF'S OFFICE AND I NOTICED HIM LINGERING OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE, ONCE WE MADE EYE CONTACT, HE QUICKLY WAVED ME TO GO INTO HIS OFFICE JUST ACROSS THE HALL FROM MINE. WHEN I WENT IN, HE SHUT THE DOOR. I NOTICED THE HEAD OF MR. TRUMP'S SECURITY DETAIL SITTING IN A CHAIR, LOOKING SOMEWHAT DISCOMBOBULATED, A LITTLE LOST. I LOOKED AT TONY, HE SAID, DID YOU HEAR WHAT HAPPENED? I SAID, NO, TONY, I JUST GOT BACK, WHAT HAPPENED? TONY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT WHEN THE PRESIDENT GOT IN, HE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE OFF THE RECORD MOVEMENT TO THE CAPITOL WAS STILL POSSIBLE AND LIKELY TO HAPPEN. BUT THAT HE HAD MORE INFORMATION. AS THE PRESIDENT HAD GOTTEN INTO THE VEHICLE WITH BOBBY, HE THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING UP TO THE CAPITOL WHEN BOBBY RELATE TO HIM THAT WE ARE NOT, WE DO HAVE THE ASSETS TO DO IT, IT IS NOT SECURE, WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE WEST WING, THE PRESIDENT HAD A VERY STRONG AND VERY ANGRY RESPONSE TO THAT. TONY DESCRIBED HIM AS BEING IRATE. THE PRESIDENT SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF "I AM THE F'IN PRESIDENT, TAKE ME UP TO THE CAPITOL NOW," TO WHICH BOBBY REPLIED, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE WEST WING. THE PRESIDENT REACHED UP TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO GRAB AT THE STEERING WHEEL. MR. ENGELS GRABBED HIS ARM, SAID, SIR, YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE WEST WING, WE ARE NOT GOING TO THE CAPITOL." MR. TRUMP THEN USED HIS FREE HAND TO LAUNCH TOWARD BOBBY ENGEL, WHEN TONY RECOUNTED THE STORY TOWARDS ME, HE AIMED TOWARD HIS CLAVICLE.

Update: Trump has responded on Trooff Social
"Her Fake story that I tried to grab the steering wheel of the White House Limousine in order to steer it to the Capitol Building is "sick" and fraudulent, very much like the Unselect Committee itself - Wouldn't even have been possible to do such a ridiculous thing."

Paul Pelosi is yet another example of the two-tier American justice system.

Whilst his wife ensures the January 6th trespassers remain in jail and are denied their USC Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2 and USBoR Article 8 rights, Paul Pelosi, a man worth in excess of $130 million as a result of his wife's insider trading, walks away from jail for a serious crime with $5,000 bail.

A criminal allows a film crew to document his crimes

As a mob ransacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Roger Stone, Donald Trump’s longest-serving political adviser, hurried to pack a suitcase inside his elegant suite on the fifth floor of the Willard hotel. He wrapped his tailored suits in trash bags, reversed his black face mask so its “Free Roger Stone” logo was hidden, then slipped out of town for a hastily arranged private flight from Dulles International Airport.

“I really want to get out of here,” Stone told an aide, as they were filmed at the hotel by a Danish camera crew for a documentary on the veteran Republican operative. Stone said he feared prosecution by the incoming attorney general, Merrick Garland. “He is not a friend,” Stone said.

Stone allowed the filmmakers to document his activities during extended periods over more than two years. In addition to interviews and moments when Stone spoke directly to the camera, they also captured fly-on-the-wall footage of his actions, candid off-camera conversations from a microphone he wore and views of his iPhone screen as he messaged associates on an encrypted app. Reporters from The Washington Post reviewed more than 20 hours of video filmed for the documentary, “A Storm Foretold,” which is expected to be released later this year.

The footage, along with other reporting by The Post, provides the most comprehensive account to date of Stone’s involvement in the former president’s effort to overturn the election and in the rallies in Washington that spilled over into violence on Jan. 6.

Stone privately coordinated post-election protests with prominent figures, and in January he communicated by text message with leaders of far-right groups that had been involved in the attack on the Capitol, the footage shows. The filmmakers did not capture conversations between Stone and Trump, but on several occasions, Stone told them or his associates that he remained in contact with the president.

Stone has refused to give testimony and evidence to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, citing his rights under the Fifth Amendment. Last week, he sued members of the panel to try to block them from using a subpoena to obtain his telephone records.

On the day of the attack, as he packed his bags, Stone told the filmmakers the riot was a mistake and would be “really bad” for the pro-Trump movement.

On the eve of the 2020 election, however, he seemed to welcome the prospect of clashes with left-wing activists. In a recorded conversation, as an aide spoke of driving trucks into crowds of racial justice protesters, Stone said: “Once there’s no more election, there’s no reason why we can’t mix it up. These people are going to get what they’ve been asking for.”

Stone declined requests for an interview. In response to questions, he said in an email that he had no involvement in the Jan. 6 riot. “Any claim, assertion or implication that I knew about, was involved in or condoned the illegal acts at the Capitol on Jan 6 is categorically false and there is no witness or document that proves otherwise,” he wrote.

Without providing specifics, Stone accused The Post of employing “a clever blend of ‘guilt by association,’ insinuations, half truths, anonymous claims, falsehoods and out of context trick questions.” He suggested that video clips of him reviewed for this article could be “deep fakes.”

“You attribute things to me I never said,” Stone wrote, without citing any examples.

Stone moved quickly after Trump’s defeat to help mobilize the protest movement that drew thousands to the nation’s capital on Jan. 6, 2021, The Post found. He privately strategized with former national security adviser Michael Flynn and rally organizer Ali Alexander, who visited Stone’s home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in late November 2020 for a dinner where Stone served pasta and martinis.

A few hours before the Jan. 6 attack, the video shows, a member of the far-right Oath Keepers group — who has since pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy — was in Stone’s suite at the Willard. Other rooms in the same hotel were used as a “command center” by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and other advisers involved in the fractious battle to overturn the election. Stone was not part of their effort, the footage indicates, and he said he feared that top organizers were trying to exclude him from the rally.

Stone used an encrypted messaging app later in January to communicate with Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, who is also charged with seditious conspiracy, and Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, the footage shows. Prosecutors have said that Rhodes erased some messages from his phone before it was taken by the FBI.

A federal judge considering lawsuits filed against Trump by Democrats and Capitol Police officers over the Jan. 6 riot said in an order in February that Stone’s connection to Trump, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers may prove to be “an important one.”

Stone did not permit the filmmakers to record him for a 90-minute period covering the height of the violence on Jan. 6. A Stone aide blocked a cameraman from entering his hotel suite, claiming that Stone was napping, the cameraman said. When he eventually got inside, Stone was speaking on his phone.

After he left Washington, Stone lobbied for Trump to enact the “Stone Plan” — a blanket presidential pardon to shield himself, Trump’s allies in Congress and “the America First movement” from prosecution for trying to overturn the election, according to the footage and additional documents reviewed by The Post.

But the plan, along with a bid by Stone to win pardons for other Trump backers including convicted mobsters, was ultimately thwarted by White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Stone said in several conversations that were filmed.

“Clearly, Cipollone f---ed everybody,” Stone told Steven Brown, a friend then in federal prison in Oregon for a fraud conviction, during a call on Jan. 19, 2021. Cipollone was aware of Stone’s requests for pardons and opposed them, according to a person familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters.

“See you in prison,” Stone wrote that evening in a message to another Trump associate.

In an Inauguration Day call with a friend, Stone directed his rage at the man who had confided in him and consulted with him for decades, denouncing Trump as “a disgrace” and expressing support for him to be impeached. “He betrayed everybody,” Stone said.

The Corporate Insurrection: How companies have broken promises and funded seditionists

Since the insurrection, 717 corporations and industry groups have funneled over $18 million to the re-election of members of Congress who objected to the 2020 presidential election results. As calls for insurrection accountability reach the one year mark, one thing is for certain: our democracy cannot recover from the insurrection while Corporate America continues to spend millions of dollars bankrolling seditionist members of Congress.

'Absolute liars': Ex-D.C. Guard official says generals lied to Congress about Jan. 6

A former D.C. National Guard official is accusing two senior Army leaders of lying to Congress and participating in a secret attempt to rewrite the history of the military's response to the Capitol riot.

In a 36-page memo, Col. Earl Matthews, who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon roles during the Trump administration, slams the Pentagon's inspector general for what he calls an error-riddled report that protects a top Army official who argued against sending the National Guard to the Capitol on Jan. 6, delaying the insurrection response for hours.

Why was Hillary Clinton investigated two times for using a private email, but Lara Trump & Eric Trump aren’t investigated for using a burner phone to coordinate a terrorist attack on the US Capitol?

Fair question, indeed.
