Nixon had 18.5 minutes missing on his tape.

With TFI he doesn't know enough to keep his mouth shut in public or in private.

1. These tapes were done by an independent producer trump hired...

Oops! I learned that back in my engineering days. It's hard to monitor and control what happens out of house, and trump et al. have never been confused with good managers of anything.

2. And TFG doesn't have a Rosemary Woods

I'm sure the committee will do an excellent job of compiling the video information for us.

I heard one of the members say on MSNBC today that tomorrow is the last hearing before the July 4 holiday but hearings will resume in July. No mention of how many more hearings there will be. I suspect the committee doesn't know now how many they'll need.

3. In the interim, I wish they would release some juicy parts of the documentary video

It would go a long way to keep people interested and hold their interest for the next hearing.

4. Like Cheney tweeted that video

Of the lawyer telling Eastman to get a defense attorney.

6. Exactly!

5. According to Nixon's plummer Frank Sturgis...

those 18.5 minutes had to do with Nixon seeking information from the CIA regarding the events surrounding the JFK presidency. This had the potential to kill the Republican Party in one fell swoop. Trump seems to be hurting the Party more slowly, by a thousand cuts.
