The Many, Many Tales of Madison Cornbread Are Disintegrating Like Toilet Paper In a Stream of Piss

Tony Ornato, the head of White House security that Madison Cornbread claims told her about Trump's attempt to Commandeer The Beast, says he was "shocked" to hear such a claim and that it simply never happened.

A source close to former Trump Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Tony Ornato says he did not brief Jan. 6 Committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson on one of the major allegation she made to the committee Tuesday.
...
However, a source close to Ornato told Fox News that Ornato watched the hearing yesterday and was shocked when Cassidy made the allegation about the steering wheel.
Both Bobby Engel, the top agent on Trump's Secret Service detail who was in the car, and Ornato, who was not in the car, testified to the January 6 Committee in private over the past year, the source close to Ornato said.
Engel and Ornato never brought up part about steering wheel, according to that source. Both want to testify on the record again and refute the part about Trump grabbing or trying to grab the wheel. The driver of the SUV, who is unnamed, will also cooperate with the committee.

So everyone involved in this story -- according to Madison Cornbread -- is willing to testify that it didn't happen, but the committee won't call them to testify.

Meanwhile, Madison Cornbread allegedly made up her claim that Trump's lawyer spoke to her on January 6th. He wasn't even there, sources say. And the January 6 committee refuses to address questions about this.

BREAKING: Multiple sources including one who was at the WH on Jan 6 tell me Cipollone was not there in the am when Hutchinson testified she spoke with him. J6 Cmtes is aware of this discrepancy & are ignoring media inquiries about it. Seems she made up the entire conversation

Mark Meadows: Madison Cornbread is lying about me seeking a pardon from Trump.

More pushback on Hutchinson testimony, this time from a Meadows spox telling
@nbcnews: "Meadows never sought a pardon and never planned to." From my convos, as of now, there seems no change in their posture re: testifying w/ the cmte and privilege claims.

The Hill reports that Republicans are "dismissing" Madison Cornbread's testimony, pointing to mere "factual disputes," as if those are an acceptable reason to dismiss the well-crafted narrative she and Liz Cheney spent all week perfecting!

Republicans dismiss Hutchinson testimony, pointing to factual disputes
Former President Trump's most vocal defenders in the House are working to undercut former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's explosive testimony at Tuesday's Jan. 6 select committee hearing, calling it "hearsay" and pointing to disputes over statements she made.
Hutchinson, who was an aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, relayed fly-on-the-wall firsthand knowledge of conversations between Trump and top officials.

Those included Trump wanting to get rid of magnetometers outside his Ellipse rally to let in more of the crowd, that potential plans were discussed for Trump to travel to the Capitol on the 6th, and aides saying Trump was aware of "Hang Mike Pence" chants and thought he deserved it.
But there are disputes over other portions of her testimony, most notably the secondhand allegation that Trump lunged for the steering wheel of the car a Secret Service agent was driving away from the Ellipse rally when the Secret Service refused to take him to the Capitol building.
"The sham Committee's star witness is already discredited less than 24 hours after her testimony. It was all hearsay. This is the Russia hoax playbook. Democrats' media allies are simply repeating their outrageous and evidence-free accusations," said Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), who was originally selected to be ranking member on the committee before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vetoed the choice.
Twitter accounts for the House Republican Conference and House Judiciary Committee Republicans fired off rapid response reactions to the hearing in real time, dismissing it and tearing down Hutchinson's testimony.
"It's literally all hearsay evidence," the House Judiciary GOP account said.
Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) also tweeted live reactions to the hearing and the disputes that followed, alleging that the committee lied.

"I spent nearly 30 years trying cases in an adversarial court system designed to ferret out truth. Liz Cheney knows how it's supposed to work, but she humiliated herself and the rest of this sham committee yesterday out of uncontrollable spite for Trump," Bishop told The Hill in a statement.

NeverTrump has an easy answer to all this: Everyone's lying except Madison Cornbread.

Here's Noted Salon Hot 25 Conservative Blogger AllahPundit, for example.

Consider the possibility -- just a possibility -- that Tony Ornato and the agents are lying, whether because they feel personal loyalty to Trump or because they deem themselves duty-bound as an institutional matter not to embarrass the presidents they serve as Secret Service agents. I emphasize again that Trump, the Republican frontrunner for the 2024 nomination, promoted Ornato to a powerful political position inside his White House by making him deputy chief of staff, something I've never heard happen to a Secret Service agent. Ornato owes Trump. And may yet work for him again.

Remember, if you ever deny a claim made by his friends on the left, he'll call you a "Trump Cultist" and "Reality Denier." But when facts arise that destroy his cherished narrative, he has no problem with claiming, "The Secret Service just employs a lot of Crisis Actors who flood the media with false claims that brave truth-tellers are lying."

You're demanded to believe the left's claims, but the left (including NeverTrump) is under no reciprocal obligation to believe any evidence that damages their own claims. It's a one-sided double-standard, which is only possible for the same reason such obviously unfair schemes ever persist: because the people benefiting from the scheme control almost all of the power (in this case, the media/government power).

And what about those objections that nearly everything that Madison Cornbread attests to is just hearsay -- I heard from someone who heard it from someone else?

Well, Super-Lawyer Andy McCarthy is here to reassure you that.... hearsay is awesome and also, this isn't hearsay.

Now, about that. Some commentators are dismissing her description of what happened in the car as hearsay. That is part irrelevant and part inaccurate.
To begin with, the federal rules of evidence do not apply to congressional proceedings. They also never apply to investigations, which is what the committee says it is conducting. The point of an investigation is to search for reliable, admissible evidence. For that, hearsay is not only allowed but encouraged -- it's often how we find out who has a probative, firsthand account.

Hey you old, decrepit bald woman -- we know who has a firsthand account. Engels and Ornato. But the committee isn't calling them because they're not telling the made-up story that Madison Cornbread is. They are specifically calling the hearsay witness, and not the firsthand knowledge witnesses, because the people with actual knowledge dispute the claims of the hearsay witness.

Is hearsay still a wonderful investigative tool in this case, you nasty old biddy?

Furthermore, I am not even sure Hutchinson's testimony in this regard would be inadmissible as hearsay if the rules of evidence did apply.
As I related in the column, Hutchinson said she was informed about what (allegedly) happened in the car only minutes later by Tony Ornato, who ran security at the White House. Ornato was not speaking idly. He was reporting what happened to a top aide (Hutchinson) of the White House chief of staff (Mark Meadows), Ornato's superior. Most significantly, if Hutchinson's version of events is correct, Engel was with Ornato as he described what happened.

If Engel was present, engaged, and listening to what Ornato said, and the circumstances were such that, if Ornato got details wrong, Engel would naturally be expected to correct him, then Ornato's words were by implication Engel's words, as if he had spoken them himself. It would not be simply a matter of someone telling Hutchinson what that person saw Trump do; it would essentially be Engel telling Hutchinson what Engel did with Trump.

Irrelevant emphasis in the original.

I have no idea what exception to the hearsay rule he thinks is implicated here. I asked a lawyer to rack her brains, and she was also baffled.

Unless a legal moron can put me some information, it sure seems like this rapidly-declining old fuck has invented a brand new exception to the hearsay rule to claim Madison Cornbread's testimony isn't hearsay.

So NeverTrump is having a normal one, as they say.

I am officially calling for the next president to conduct a searching and unflinching review of all convictions secured by Andrew McCarthy, to find out if any innocent men were railroaded by this Government-Is-God True Believer hack.

DURING PRIDE MONTH?

I am a trial attorney, and regularly deal with, argue about, have had many, many rulings on hearsay and related. Andy McCarthy's obfuscation bears no relation to any known hearsay exception.
And his "ackshually" explanation about Congressional hearings not being "bound by" hearsay rules of course misses the giant point that, at times, hearsay can be the introduction to a trail leading to some evidence, but it is never, ever, in any court, tribunal or other judicial proceeding regarded as the capstone, and is always regarded as inferior to any available, first-hand witness testimony.
At best, you might "allow" some inadmissible hearsay for the context of some testimony, but subject-to-connection in a plan to call the firsthand testimony later.
It goes not only against "law" but the whole foundation of evidentiary jurisprudence to allow "naked hearsay" (particularly double hearsay) as purported truth of the facts of what happened (as opposed to proving some emotional state for its own sake).
IOW: Andy McCarthy is an idiot. Or a liar. Or both.

83 See, e.g. "the best evidence" rule. What is the best, most reliable evidence of the truth or falsity of whether an event occurred? First-hand, eye witness testimony from a person who says the event did not occur, or second-hand, hearsay testimony from someone who was not there but overheard someone say it occurred? It's not that complicated.

No because as the leftards are very quick to remind you this is just a "Hearing". So they're allowed to say the word "oath" over and over again and play peekaboo like it's a Court of Law and then shuck and jive as needed.

And the funny part is they think court cases will follow. They're still basically on the Mueller is Coming train which is maybe twice as funny as the Sessions/Barr/Durham thing.

116 I don't want to give Dems credit for doing something smart, but i guess they'd do something sneaky, and this seems like that.

Every bot is screaming "yeah she did this under oath, if they want to dispute this they can do so under oath" and it makes it feel like this is a Dem trap, since everyone is emphasizing "under oath"

They'll knowingly allow her to lie, since they'll never prosecute a friendly for perjury, because they want to get everyone else under oath where they'll start asking then questions about everything except the stuff this office barista talked about. Then they'll catch a Trump official saying they used a Bic pen instead of a Rollerball pen, and try to get then thrown in jail for a decade for perjury.

It just feels way to scripted and an attempt to trap Trump officials or loyalist, who want to clear the record and who believe the oath to tell the truth actually means something.

154 As to "present sense impression" you may be correct that's what he's reaching for. Only it wasn't happening when the declarant said it. And it's not a "simple fact" of the type that applies to this, e.g. someone who overhears someone right before they died saying "My God the wall is falling!" or similar.

And of course the giant issue that one never admits any form of hearsay exception for the truth of the matter gratuitously, i.e. when first hand witnesses are available.

155 Well, Congress does not have the power to randomly investigate (as Ace put some knowledge to us the other day) ... especially not against a specific political enemy.

AND they have not upheld the rules of the opposing side (Republicans) choosing their own ranking member to act as "defense lawyer", Banks was rejected and rules broken to put in Cheney ... so it is not a legit investigation ... but rules and laws are out the window, and DOJ will arrest those that don't comply with subpoenas, including Justice Thomas' wife I suppose.

214 As a special education attorney in California, I can say that hearsay is allowed in administrative law proceedings here (like special ed and employment law, etc.). It just goes to the "weight of the evidence" which is always, in my case, in favor of the government entities that I sue. This is why I have to overwhelm the case with IEP recordings and actual documents. If it comes down to a matter of experts and oral testimony, it's really hard to get a win because the deck is just that stacked against parents.

235 To add to Zek's comment, here's another trial lawyer commenting on the National Review article:

RickPTC
5 hours ago

" ... Some commentators are dismissing her description of what happened in the car as hearsay. That is part irrelevant and part inaccurate."

This statement undercuts McCarthy's credibility as an analyst on this topic because it cuts right to the heart of his experience as a trial lawyer. A former trial lawyer sincerely committed to an objective analysis of Hutchinson's testimony would not have made that statement because the nature of the evidence presented in any controversy is an important factor in determining its credibility.

Hearsay evidence is disfavored because it is unreliable. Facts often get jumbled or distorted in the retelling of an event by people who were not there. The claim of Trump's actions in the vehicle on the way back to the White House is a great example of this point. The people who were there apparently deny that Trump reached for the steering wheel or engaged in any sort of pushing or shoving of them. They only claim that Trump wanted to be driven to the Capitol and was angry or frustrated when he was told, "No."

239 (cont)

Then McCarthy claimed:

"Furthermore, I am not even sure Hutchinson’s testimony in this regard would be inadmissible as hearsay if the rules of evidence did apply."

Wrong. First, it is important that McCarthy names none of the exceptions in evidence rule to justify his opinion. Second, McCarthy falls back on the claim that the importance of her testimony was that someone told her that - not that she was told an accurate version of events. That makes McCarthy's opinion specious because if the testimony was not offered for the truth of the other peoples' statements, then, it is irrelevant to the point of the alleged fact-finding. If Trump's behavior in the car on the way back to the White House is relevant, then it is unimportant what a non-witness to the event heard when the actual witnesses to that event are able to testify.

For these reasons, I call BS on McCarthy's entire analysis in this column. He's running a close second to Chief Justice Roberts in the ability to twist the law to fit a desired result. This inaccurate rendition about hearsay evidence is a great disappointment. He should know better.

258 McCarthy is correct that the Rules of Evidence don't apply to this Congressional Committee investigation BECAUSE NO RULES WHATSOEVER APPLY. Even the rules governing these committees were magically deemed not to apply. They get to do whatever they want, shake the Magic 8 Ball and present demonstrable lies BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RULES.

If their purpose is to convince people that they're arriving at some kind of truth, perhaps they should adopt REASONABLE RULES WHICH GRANT THE PROCESS LEGITIMACY, like, oh, I don't know, requiring direct evidence from participants in the events being investigated over the early 20s staffer who was last in a whisper-down-the-lane chain.

271 Ace, I’m an experienced lawyer with more than my for share of hearsay disputes. What I read Andy Pandy to be arguing is that the hearsay might be admissible as an “excited utterance” exception. While that’s a real exception, I highly doubt it would apply here. It’s reserved for statements made truly in the throws of excitement when there’s no time or mental state to formulate a lie, such as “holy shit, that guy just fired his gun into the crowd!!”

He also seems to be relying on a “catch all” exception that would allow hearsay to be admitted where it otherwise has strong indicia of reliability. I’ve tried that argument several times. The judge aways shot me down. If such an exception exists, it’s very very limited and wouldn’t apply to this Bimbo’s testimony.

Bottom line: Pandy is full of shit.

That's the fundamental reason that Hearsay is garbage "testimony". The witness isn't saying he or she saw something, they're saying "this other person told me that they saw something." If the other person says No I Didn't, then the obvious reply is "oh I guess I misunderstood you." No, it's not perjury, it's idiocy, and any legal proceeding that uses this should be automatically discredited for doing so.

How many times now has President Trump had this same scam run on him, where a coached partisan asshole flat out makes up lies that support the Left's current narrative against him? Dozens at least. This is no different.

However strong Cornbread's double (triple?) hearsay statements are, they're only as strong as any sort of refuting hearsay. So if someone says Engel said it didn't happen as she said she heard someone said it (to the effect) did, then whatever impetus one might have had to believe her account, has now been undone by at least an equal impetus to not believe her.

Leftwing movements govern by constant change - and terror in forcing people to keep up with those changes. This means any independent thought is DANGEROUS. Sure if you mouth a slightly outdated talking point it isn't a big deal...but imagine saying something of your own based on yesterday's narrative?!?

Every leftist has seen someone do that and be destroyed. So the safest mode is just to ape whatever the leaders are saying. Not only are you safe, people will laud you for doing it!

So they stop thinking about everything, and it no longer matters if what they say is absurd, or hell the opposite of what they said yesterday.

317 Recently, the Arizona Legislature passed a bill giving every student access to an Empowerment Scholarship Account. That is Arizona's name for education savings accounts, which give families an amount equal to 90 percent of the state's per-pupil spending. Parents can use the more than $6,000 to customize their student's education, paying for things like private school tuition, homeschooling materials or tutors. Unlike a traditional voucher program, ESAs allow families to mix and match services.

. . .

More students are likely to use the program under the new law. It makes every student eligible for an ESA, including students not previously attending public schools. It's the ultimate example of money following the child.

Corey DeAngelis, national director of research at the American Federation for Children, called it "the most expansive school choice initiative in the nation." It's just the latest example of broad school choice legislation. Last year, West Virginia passed an ESA program for all public school students or those entering kindergarten.

I'm unclear on the exact meaning of the Roe v Wade reversal, but it seems to me it would require an amendment to make such a "right to abortion" -- that a law would not be enough to overturn the ruling that said this (abortion 'right') is an issue for the states to decide for each state's citizenry.

She "testified" that she wrote a note that someone else says he wrote, and that another person was talking to her in person when he says he wasn't there. Those could be perjury but even if she was indisputably proven to have lied, no one will ever do anything because she's not right wing.

Insane? Maybe. I guess it fits the bill.

I view it as typical religious fanaticism, of the cultish variety. You latch onto a belief system that doesn't comport with reality, and it subsumes your whole identity. When confronted with facts or experiences or spiritual revelations that don't comport with the system, you have to re-evaluate it or ignore them.

When enough of those pile up, you're faced with two options: repudiate the belief system and undergo a serious and painful identity crisis, or become increasingly schizoid in your ongoing psychotic break with reality. Few people are capable of option 1, and come to closely resemble the clinically insane instead.

400 Well speaking only for myself of course, the excitement at the GOP, McCarthy, and McConnell winning big in the fall is becoming hard to contain.

I mean, just look at the way they're handling this latest Nth descent of America into farcical Third World/Soviet territory. The way they're mocking and undermining it gives me real hope they'll maybe not pass any more "gun control" laws when in charge. And maybe not even increase H1Bs. Hell, they might even think about examining the technical competence and integrity situations at CDC and FDA (OK, that's just wild wishcasting, the excitement of a big GOP victory took over there, sorry).

Even the rules governing these committees were magically deemed not to apply. They get to do whatever they want, shake the Magic 8 Ball and present demonstrable lies BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RULES.

If their purpose is to convince people that they're arriving at some kind of truth, perhaps they should adopt REASONABLE RULES WHICH GRANT THE PROCESS LEGITIMACY, like, oh, I don't know, requiring direct evidence from participants in the events being investigated over the early 20s staffer who was last in a whisper-down-the-lane chain.

415 To change the subject slightly. It is very important to get a declarative judgement from the SCOTUS that conspiring to oppress 2A rights is, indeed, a criminal violation of 18 USC 241, a felony carrying a punishment starting at 10 years in prison, up to a potential death penalty for violation. That way, the left can't claim it isn't and ignore the felonies of people like Michael Bloomberg and his "Mom's Demand" fellow conspirators. Declarative judgements are important because they allow judges and prosecutors to be sued for ignoring them.

Well, its actually significantly harder, since the rules change every few days and you have to act like a crazed weasel in your language and thought patterns. But its more pleasing to follow because it requires zero self discipline and responsibility, it does not require you to grow up, and it lets you be as debased and debauched as you wish without being questioned or called on it.

So its harder to follow, but appeals to your baser sin nature.

495 I don't feel like slogging through West Virginia v EPA. Does anyone have the highlights? SCOTUSBlog just says it, "limited the agency's ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants." Are there any effects on the regulatory state?

I did read it. The bottom line is that the judiciary, starting at the trial court, decides if a rule is a major rule or a minor rule, depending on its own subjective standard of what it thinks is major and minor. If it's a minor rule, they give deference to the administrative agency. If it's a major rule, they scrutinize whether the agency is specifically authorized by Congress to adopt that rule. In this case, the Clean Power Plan was a major rule. The Clean Air Act authorizes the EPA to regulate emissions at their sources. Nothing in the Clean Air Act authorizes the EPA to regulate "systems" and require power plants of one type to be replaced with power plants of another type. Therefore, the agency was not specifically authorized by Congress to adopt this major rule, so the rule is not authorized.

Not the overruling of Chevron that some had hoped, and the major rule-minor rule distinction is not new law. But it's a win anyway.

If I can preserve it by abolishing slavery, I will do so, and if I could have preserved it by keeping slavery, I would have done that. That has been my only goal."

I don't know how they explain the emancipation proclamation but I'm sure there is some kind of racism in it and the fact Lincoln would go to a Civil War battlefield where confederates were lying there dead proves he was a racist.

Lincoln was clear that he considered blacks to be inferior, but the concept of one person owning another person was abhorrent to him. The emancipation proclamation was about winning the war and only applied in the states in rebellion -- note that it didn't apply to Union slave states like Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and DC, where slaves continued to be held until the 13th Amendment in December 1865, 8 months after the war was over and 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. (An interesting aside -- Indian tribes in Oklahoma (then Indian Territory) continued to own slaves for a couple of years afterwards because they weren't subject to the Constitution, until the Army made them stop).

"To the extent" being key 'cause polite Europeans don't talk about the specifics of our abortion laws lest they become uncomfortable. Same reason our folks don't talk about their laws either. It makes people confront the gory logistical details of abortion.
______________

I was reading an article earlier about how AZ legislators had prepared a bill ahead of Dobbs to pass an "extremely restrictive" law, making abortion in AZ unavailable after the 15th week of pregnancy, except in cases of risk to the mother's health or severe fetal birth defects.

That's more liberal than the current abortion law in France, which prohibits abortions after the 14th week of pregnancy, except in cases of risk to the mother's health or severe fetal birth defects.

Their "principles" were highly valued in that they made good money selling them out.

Then Trump came along and wanted to play real ball--to actually try and win the political battles and advance conservative principles.

These guys hate Trump for two reasons--because he is a threat to their regular pay of 30 pieces of silver and because he was actually what they pretended to be--principled opposition that put American interests first.

Every media member is in on the lie and pushing the narrative because of the decades-long journolist conspiracy for the media to act as the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. They have been doing this since at least 2004 with the "fake but accurate" TANG memos bullshit.

They have not stopped doing this for the past 18 years. It has only gotten more coordinated with the GOPe joining in. These people aren't stupid... they're lying asshole motherfuckers coordinating narratives to consolidate power and destroy this country.

"...Lastly I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilisation than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risks the nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now is. The more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilised races throughout the world." -Letter from Charles Darwin

678 Sorry, but the Constitution in Article III gives the Court jurisdiction only over actual cases or controversies brought before it. The Court has held that it is unconstitutional for it to give either advisory opinions or declarative judgments, unless it can be done within the confines of some actual case brought before it.

The way it is done is to get a declarative judgement from a lower court, and force the left to appeal to the SCOTUS. There was a declarative judgement from a PA court the left was forced to accept because they knew it would be upheld at the SCOTUS. And yes, you can ask courts for declarative judgements.

714 Another lawyer here. I'm a canuck lawyer, but the rules for hearsay are pretty similar between common law jurisdictions. The only way I can see Hutchinson's testimony as admissible (ie. NOT hearsay), is if they are offered for a limited purpose.

Testimony like hers is only hearsay if it meets the definition, which is an out of court statement, offered for the truth of its contents, through the testimony of someone other than the declarant.

Her testimony is definitely about an out of court statement (the secret service agents weren't testifying in the conversation), and its definitely also testimony from someone other than the declarant (she wasn't the one saying things, she was "in the vicinity" of a conversation "to the effect of" her testimony [notice the number of qualifiers, its not how normal people talk]). Where it gets dicier is whether its offered for the truth of its contents.

Clearly the media is offering it for the truth of its contents. To them, her testimony is enough to prove the events happened. But this J6 thing is not a trial. Its more akin to a nationwide televised grand jury being asked to indict a ham sandwich. (Cont...)

715 (part 2) If there was a real trial you'd bring the SSAs out and make them testify. Then you'd be able to use her testimony either way. If they testify it happened her testimony can be used as evidence establishing that the testimony of the SSAs was not a later invention, because she can testify that the conversation happened, and that is evidence that the SSA's aren't lying. If the SSAs deny the story, her testimony could be used to impeach them, because she can testify that they had the conversation, and that their denials now are false.

But this is because in those narrow uses of her testimony it would be offered not for establishing the truthfulness of the contents of the conversation, but just the conversation having occurred.

All that said, I'm pretty sure the conversation never happened and she's making it up. I'm not sure what her end game is here, probably a lucrative media contract or book deal, but its so implausible.

But, that's just the only way I can wrap my head around getting her testimony in.

716 I don't think she committed perjury. She repeated a rumor, which isn't lying, its just meaningless in any kind of inquiry.

She says she was told directly by the security head who denies it happened. Its likely that he never told her the tall tale, which makes her a liar

717 Andy AssSniffer is mixing up hearsay and the right to remain silent. There have been cases where the silence of an individual can be used against him if, in the presence of some shocking allegation, he says nothing. That has nothing to do with hearsay except in the fucked up head of AssSniffer, who thinks he's Matlock because he convicted the Blind Sheikh.
