I was just remembering how good Cassidy Hutchinson was...

[mysteryowl]

and if she is a witness for any of these trials, how powerful that will be.
She is utterly believable.

Would she be a witness for the GA trial? Hmmm??

1. She told the truth. Reognized what was up with the party-furnished attorney...

attempting to steer her upcoming testimony, fired his ass, resigned and got her own lawyer.

She has integrity and is a model for republicans with ethics...if there are any left.

2. Much of what she said would be hearsay. If it was said by a defendant it wouldn't be,

and there are exceptions such as excited utterance, and present sense impression which might make some her stuff admissible, but I wouldn’t get too excited.

3. I think she was Meadows

Chief of staff? She had first hand info.
I thought.

4. Correct

So she might turn up in the RICO trial. I'm impressed by her guts but saddened that it took a young, relatively inexperienced person to show what utter bastards her so-called superiors are.

6. Indeed. Plus her life must be hell

With all the threats.

5. She can testify as to what Meadows (or any other defendant) said within her hearing

in the trial in which Meadows (or other defendant) is the defendant.

Those are statements of a party (used against them).

She can't testify as to information a defendant told her that someone else said - that is likely hearsay and inadmissible unless it falls within an exception.

7. Understood.

8. Hearsay is defined as an out of court statement

offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Statements by a party opponent (in this case a defendant) are by rule NOT hearsay. Neither are statements of coconspirators. So things she heard Meadows say could be offered against him as a defendant, and against other coconspirators, including Trump if Meadows is a coconspirator. Statements of other people would be hearsay.

Think about her testimony. So much of what she testified to was prefaced with “He said something to the affect of. . .” What followed was hearsay, unless the person saying it was a defendant or coconspirator.
