  1. Wow!! I’m the first commenter? It’s after 7:00 am in Alaska which is 11:00 on the East Coast so what’s going on with the hearing? I thought it was to start at 10:00. Edit to say I missed the discobot notice at the top of thread saying the hearing would not start until 1:00. Any idea on when or why they changed the time?

  2. Luttig’s statement reads like something the Proud Boys will approve of.

  3. Worshipping the language and pomp of war is a hallmark of failed thinking. Primitive.

  4. That will be closed-door testimony for Ginni, not public. But it will be on video, and the transcript and tape will eventually be made available to DOJ.

    Gonna be uncomfortable to plead the Fifth, but that’s what she should do.
