Unsinkable Officer Harry Dunn [US Capitol Police] [1]

Short diary. Nicole Wallace interviewing Harry Dunn on MSNBC. Video embed below.

For those to whom video isn’t so easily accessible, here are my main takeaways:

Officer Dunn reminds us of a quote from Officer Michael Fanone: “I went to Hell and back, only for people to tell me that Hell doesn’t exist.”

as Ms. Wallace and Officer Dunn discuss Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, they credit her with making indictments possible.

Officer Dunn on election fraud: ” ... the reason why people thought the vote was stolen: because these state legislatures are doing everything in their power within the law … to suppress the vote of people.”

Officer Dunn on the subject of ideological purity and extending “grace” to those who are too soon old and too late smart*: “ … ‘better late than never’ is the optimist’s way of looking at it … the pessimistic way was saying ‘you should have done it from the beginning’. ... And the realist’s is where I guess I am: ‘I’m mad at you for not doing it earlier, but I’m glad you did it’. “

*this phrase is my preferred way to look at it, not something said in the broadcast.

I usually try to babysit my diaries, but because of some things that happened late in the week, and repairs that didn’t happen over the weekend [but were supposed to, grrr], I will be off the premises for awhile, and I never use cellphones for stuff like this. I’ll be back later. Meanwhile I hope you all enjoy this interview and Officer Dunn’s candor and, well, simple decency, as much as I did.

It takes a couple of minutes for this interview to begin; don’t worry, this is the right clip.
