Top Secret Service agents who tried to undermine former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the Jan. 6 committee have hired private lawyers and are refusing to cooperate with the investigation, members of the panel said over the weekend.

 

Hutchinson, who worked as a top aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified last month that she was told by deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato that former President Donald Trump was so irate that his security detail would not take him to the Capitol with his supporters on Jan. 6 that he lunged at Secret Service agent Bobby Engel, the head of his detail.

...

Ornato, Engel, and the unidentified driver of Trump's vehicle have since hired private counsel, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., told reporters last week.

 

"Some of the officers said that they would be coming and talking under oath," said Lofgren, a member of the committee. "They have not come in, and they recently retained private counsel, which is unusual but they have a right to do that."

Gee, if Hutchinson misrepresented what happened that day, you'd think they'd want to set the record straight.

 

Could there be a reason why they wouldn't want to set the record straight on what happened that day?

The secret service refusing to testify to the house committee, huh? The treason runs deep.

 

These guys are supposed to work for the government, not the President.

Apart from the criminal prosecutions this is going to lead to, this behavior has set the Secret Service up for a complete strip down and rebuild.

Young women with bigger balls than the big bad  secret service kool aide crew...or the republican congressmen who are still hiding under their desks scared to death to testify under oath or say in public now what they are on tape saying shortly after jan 6....what a shameful no spine bunch of cowards.  And yet millions of so called patriots still will vote for these treasonous cowards...
