I admire and respect Cassidy. She did what men twice/three times her age didn’t have the spine for. Someone called her a blockbuster witness and I agree with that. Because we need more defining moments of courage and I honestly respected the hell out of her for her testimony.
Witness tampering: very legal and very cool. >

They have the testimony right there. Charges need to be filed immediately. >

Play the long game. Make an iron clad case and make the motherfuckers pay. >

Ugh. There should be a law where when you commit enough crimes out in the open and everyone knows you just go straight to jail. >

Bigly smart >

Trump hired a EPA secretary that hated the environment, an Education Secretary that knew shit about education and an Energy Secretary that didn't know what the department does. And now it turns out his Ethics Lawyers sucks at...ethics? I'm shocked. >

You forgot Ben Carson for Secretary of Housing, who is a great doctor, but even he admitted when he accepted the position that he didn't know what it was. To Ben's credit he remaind mostly anonymous during Trumps tenure. >

He was too busy looking for his luggage...there was that one thing with the 30k table but compared to everybody else yeah he was a boy scout. >

That was quite possibly the most comical moment I have seen on TV in a long time.  Seeing Carson running after the car that his briefcase was still in.  It was the only time I ever saw him seem awake. >

Come on just take the contempt charges we will totally back you...I mean it isn't like conservatives have a tendency to backstab >

Ignoring lawful subpoenas was their Spartacus moment (if Spartacus were a conspiracy-addled over-privileged wealthy loser with a legacy admission law degree from Georgetown). It's no surprise they were pressuring people to join them. >


She continued: “‘I am completely indebted to these people,’ and I was like, ‘And they will ruin my life, Mom, if I do anything they don’t want me to do.’” 

While I can respect the courage it took to testify in front of the nation I feel zero sympathy for her situation.  She's not a dummy and was well aware she was going to be working alongside maniacs and two-bit grifters.  She was quite comfortable with the perks of her Faustian bargain until the bill came due. >

That’s a weird take.  Have you ever been in a situation that you weren’t comfortable in, but couldn’t find an immediate way out?  Ms. Hutchinson took notes and made sure to observe as much as possible for the moment that she would be asked about her time.  If it weren’t for people like her, we wouldn’t have ever known the truth of what went on in that garbage administration. >

I feel both grateful to her and unsympathetic. How did she know they'd ruin her life? She'd seen them do it to others. She was on board with their policies and tried not to think about their morals -- then bailed in the moment she realized she'd been turned, to some extent, into adopting those morals. It's in that transcript ... she was very uneasy with being told to pretend not to remember, but she went along -- right up until her dishonesty was in print. That was what stopped her: seeing herself from outside eyes, lying her head off.
I'm really glad she had the guts to make it right, but come on. She knew what Trump was, and she was okay with it.
