The Lunge Story

 I sat and watched about an hour of the Cassady Hutchinson 'chatter' from the Congressional hearing of yesterday, via various clips.  

Her chief comment?  Trump tried wrestle control of the car....to be taken to the Capital building....from the limo driver.  So, here's the thing....she didn't witness this herself....someone told her of the situation.  Whether this person witnessed it or not.....that they might have heard it from another person, who heard it from another person, who heard it from another person....is the real question here.

I sat and lingered over this.

To be honest, Trump is a backseat guy for a limo, and it's been that way for several decades.  I personally doubt that Trump has sat in the front seat of a car since the late 1980s.  In NY, if you make money.....real money....you never sit in the front seat.  Trump is that kind of guy.

The 'show' becoming a comedy act?  Well...if you start allowing people to show up and they say.....'I heard so-and-so say X, Y and Z', then in a legit setting....you need to bring their friend 'so-and-so' in and ask where they heard the story, and that lead to four different people, and a marginalized story where only a quarter of the start-up story is true.

The term 'lunged'?  I've probably heard six CNN/Fox people utter it....over and over.  'Trump lunged at the steering wheel'.  If you are in the rear seat of the limo, with some protective glass in between.....how do you lunge?  GET REAL.

In some ways, the hearing is now like a urbanized Dukes of Hazard episode now.  

I heard a rumor that Trump keeps a 1986 Honda Civic in the basement garage and often goes out driving around DC at 1 AM when he was President.  Sounds good?
