Under oath

I too was mesmerized. Those hours of J6 Day 6 flew by so fast.

I will spare you the details. Just what struck me. Here was an aid to Meadows whose Verizon phone had been confiscated. Thousands of texts and tweets (aside from burner phones).

Yet she could recount almost verbatim, a year and a half later. “As an American, I was outraged”…

Who wouldn’t? My niece texted me immediately that same afternoon to apologize.

Under Oath. Everything is taped, replayed and stored for the record (even Watergate classified 18 missing minutes of tape).

The brave one. A younger version of Princeton’s Jodi Foster…”Are you talking to me?”

She was the only one there, in front of the microphone and tons of lenses. The “Taxi Driver” must have talked to her and only her.

Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Hollywood stuff.

Once only a whisper behind Mark’s closed door, now shouted from the rooftop.

It’s as if she were filling in today’s missing “18 minutes”. Our John Dean. Honest and forthrightly (unlike Jenna Ellis who was standing behind Giuliani, purportedly from the Evangelical world).

I have not been following political news up close until two years ago. When it’s the women, Vietnamese women, all 50 of them, signed on to denounce DJT. What did “napalm girls” have to do with he once bragged on Access Hollywood ” I just grabbed the p****”…. You can do anything (Even war-room Steve Bannon thought “there went our Presidential Dream”). But then, there are always two sides to a drama: what was the South VN flag doing there on top of the Capitol dome? Unthinkable.

From the “war room” at Willard hotel back and forth i.e., just tell them it’s all checked out (legal precedents researched by Eastman in Chapman U library), he (POTUS inside the Beast) is going with them to “hang M.P.” who deserved it (lynching is back, this time on South Lawn, not Southern Mississippi), and of course, here is David Letterman’s top 10 ” We love you. But you have to go home now” i.e., check out of your Northern VA’s hotel room (of course, you did not bring/stash those weapons and keep your ‘Oath” to hurt me – I am not Reagan”. If anyone, just shoot Mark – modern-day Brady).

In the line of fire, even macho Clint Eastwood would have to refuse to run alongside the Beast. (He would have to call in sick – contracted covid) leaving Rene Russo to fend for herself: ” Sir, we’re going back. Sir, take your hand off me.”

Of course, he wouldn’t know who Cassidy was. She played an abused and dutiful “housewife” who helped wipe dripping ketchup off the dining room (BTW, I played that role a lot in my childhood, so I can empathize completely). That “fly on the wall” finally broke silence for history to judge and righting itself.

I too was mesmerized. And I stand corrected: I thought his bone spurs would prevent his walk to the Capitol to “fight like Hell”. unlike Congressman Lewis marching across the Selma bridge (Mr. Lewis too raised his right hand under Oath and kept his oath).

Go girl. Greta, 50 Vietnamese women against Trump, and now Ms. Hutchinson. All in my growing logbook of modern heroes.
