Enough

by Cassidy Hutchinson

Lindsey left, and the president convened a call with Freedom Caucus members to discuss the plan for January 6. When the meeting ended, Rudy asked me to walk his group out. I got my coat and escorted Rudy and his associates out of the West Wing. As we walked, Rudy said, “Are you excited about the sixth? It’s going to be a great day. I’m excited. We’re going to go to the Capitol, Cass!” “I’m curious, Rudy,” I said. “What are we going to do at the Capitol?” “It’s going to be great. The president is going to be there. He’s going to look powerful… The chief knows all about it. Talk to the chief about it.” Remarkably, I followed Rudy’s advice and went to discuss the topic with Mark. He was still in his office, seated on his couch, scrolling through his phone. I leaned against his doorway and reported that I had just had an interesting conversation with Rudy. “It sounds like we’re going to the Capitol.” Mark didn’t look up, but he stopped scrolling for a moment. “There’s a lot going on, Cass… Things might get real, real bad on January 6.”
