OK, I'll try this again . . . going off of your comment.
And their whole angle is to ignore the most important information and focus on anything to discredit her.
Very much like you in this thread. You're caught up on two things, a story she said she was told is refuted by the Trump loyalist that told her and whoever did or did not write a note. How much research have you done into Tony Ornato lying?

Asked about the Trump defenders seizing upon this “denial” as Joe Scarborough put it, Leonnig said Ornato’s “situation is not so great” because he broke the usual conventions of his position in order to function as an “acolyte” and right-hand man to Trump.
“This is a person who worked as President Trump’s security detail leader, the number one guy protecting the boss. And the boss liked him so much, he installed him in a political White House job,” Leonnig explained. “That broke every Secret Service tradition in the book, because he stayed as a Secret Service employee, but Trump essentially had him directing the Secret Service to make sure that all of its campaigns events, all of his photo ops, everything that he wanted to do to get re-elected went off without a hitch.”
As Leonnig continued to delve into Ornato’s fealty to Trump, she noted that even if he tries to claim Hutchinson’s recollection of events didn’t happen, “Tony Ornato has said a lot of things didn’t happen.”
“He has tried to say to the press and to me indirectly that the clearing of Lafayette Square was not done for President Trump’s photo on. Well, that’s not true. He was at the center of that,” Leonnig said. She also referred to former Trump officials Olivia Troye and Alyssa Farah, who’ve both painted Ornato as a liar.
“The Secret Service often tries to deny things that are unflattering and then when the rubber hits the road, we learn there is a little bit more to it,” Leonnig said. She added that it will be up to Ornato to testify on whether he exaggerated the Trump altercation story to Hutchinson before she laid it out in her testimony.
Plenty of people are backing up her credibility . . . anybody backing up Ornato?
When are you going to comment on Trump knowing there were armed people in the crowd and still went on stage? I haven't seen that yet. Lots of deflection with penny ante bullshit, though.
Before Trump, has a President ever been told "Mr President, there are people here that are armed and will not surrender their weapons" and he still went on stage?
No comment on how Trump knew the crowd was armed and sent them down to the Capitol?
Nah, let's not discuss that. Let's question and pour doubt onto the source. It's shit like this is where you constantly come across much more as a Republican trying to muddy the waters than a supposed disgruntled ex-Democrat.
This is not a difficult concept. If she's falsifying testimony or even repeating inaccurate information it throws the validity of everything she testifies to into question. You're clearly a person who wants to get to the truth of what happened, you should be as upset about this as anyone.

Uhh, they're Secret Service agents, they joined to protect the POTUS, which btw is a high tier position in the agency. Notice I said the POTUS, not Trump. Unless you have some evidence they are compromised by some undying loyalty to Trump the default position is that they are not Trump loyalists. Or are you asking for me to prove they are not? Because that would be silly.
