Thursday open thread: Day 5 of the January 6th hearings


Well! Will today's hearing be as gutting as Tuesday's? 

What we know is that this will be the final hearing until July. The hearings were supposed to wrap up on June 30 with another primetime session. But so much information has been flooding the committee—shaken loose by the success the hearings have had so far—that the committee and its staff have to sift through everything, investigate, and present it.

I doubt anyone will top Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. They are the stars of the hearings: two ordinary women, a mother and daughter, who found themselves thrust unwillingly into the maelstrom of an attempted coup. Pundits wanted "pizzazz". Well, they got it.

As always, the comments are open, and the beer is cheap.
