Besides the witness who shredded the last remnants of whatever illusions of respectability and legality still clung to the Trump gang of seditionists who tried to violently overthrow our government?
She’s not a lawyer. Not a Democrat agent, either.
Hutchison (bio here) is 25 years old. She’s from New Jersey and graduated in 2019 from Christopher Newport University (profile here), a small public college in Newport News, Virginia, with a B.A. in political science.
During college, she interned for Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the GOP House whip, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). After graduating, she landed a full-time job in the White House office of legislative affairs. Before long, she was snapped up by Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to serve as one of his top aides.
These are plum assignments that go to brilliant young people on a fast track for high-level careers in the machinery of governing (congressional and White House staff, etc.). This is heady stuff.
“Though still young, like many White House staffers,” CBS News, says here, she “handled a vast number of sensitive issues.” Quoting Liz Cheney, “Hutchison worked in the West Wing, just steps down the hall from the Oval Office. Ms. Hutchinson spoke daily with members of Congress, … high ranking officials in the administration, … senior White House staff, … Mr. Meadows, … White House counsel lawyers and … the deputy chief of [operations],” and “also worked on a daily basis with members of the Secret Service who were posted in the White House. In short, Ms. Hutchinson was in a position to know a great deal about the happenings in the White House.”
Eyewitness, that’s who she is. (And “patriot” in the eyes of some; “rat” in the eyes of others.)
As for her future, she probably should go to law school, and plan to support herself by practicing law, because she probably won’t be invited back into the Republican sanctum. She shouldn’t want to be there, anyway. It’s a den of criminals. Some of her former employment references may go to prison. A letter of reference with a prison return address isn’t all that useful anyway.
Meanwhile, she’s about to be viciously attacked by vicious people trying to save their own skins, and you’ll be called on to decide whether you believe her or believe them. I salute her guts, and I’m with her.
