So was I right re my last comment?

re: #239 Jay C

The Judiciary hearings are, apparently, a rerun of the HPSCI circus? Nadler and the Dems laying out a clear, coherent case, while the GOPers just blither, bluster, and waste time?

The big problem I see is that Jerry Nadler (who I like - he used to be my Rep when I lived across town) isn’t the attack-dog prosecutor type Adam Schiff is. Not that I think Nadler is going to let the Repubs’ efforts to derail the process succeed, but in terms of setting the narrative and presenting the “case” to the public, the Judiciary “show” is likely to suffer from the “second-act doldrums”. And - unfortunately, but true - the media want a “show”. And it doesn’t (at least AFAICT) look like there is going to be a Marie Yovanovich or Fiona Hill in the wings this time round.
