This next entry in the long-running series, temporarily lacking its Captain & Chairman BennieThompson due to a Covid infection, but ably replaced by Vice Chair Cheney, explores the actual struggle within the capitol. Among the more hair-raising new information is the Secret Service agents calling their loved ones to say farewell.
The testimony of Trump’s Deputy National Security Advisor Pottinger and Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews was, of course, riveting and informative, although I thought it lacked the sheer surprise and drama brought to the table by previous witness Cassidy Hutchinson.
And, of course, the political hit job on Senator Hawley (R-MO) was sublime and delicious.
As always, go see it for yourself. These hearings are defining moments of drama in the political world of today. Don’t deprive yourself of the experience.
