I woke up this morning (which at my age is a great start) thinking that

if I were writing this story as a screen play, one of the earliest scenes would have been that group of Congress people walking out of the meeting clearly upset and angry to the point of grimacing and controlling their temper in front of the cameras. I will never forget the face of Maxine Waters and the narrowing of her eyes and look of extreme anger and frustration. Of course, events would transpire which would cause the audience to forget the scene and dismiss it as background noise/establishment of character.

In the narrative this document, video, or eyewitness testimony becomes the smoking gun at the denouement -that it is revealed that the villain is and has been a seditionist and traitor, and that long-forgotten scene, early in the film, takes on paramount importance.

In spy thrillers made in the 1970’s, a senior agent would quietly enter the domicile or vacation home and use a silencer or poison/injection. These days, there is a trial and the individual is found guilty on all counts.

So much for Hollywood…
