If This is John Dean Stuff,

I want Liz Cheney to lead today.

Trump hates her because she is hell bent on bringing him to justice. Strong, powerful women have a knack of getting under Trump's hide.

23 more minutes until blast off.

I believe she, Liz, will lead this....Plus, Dick Cheney still has connections...that is intimidating too.

I'm fine with what she is doing on the committee but that does not make her our friend. I prefer Bennie Thompson remain the lead as he has been and deserves to be. He is doing a masterful job.

I have praised every member of the select committee to high heaven, they are doing a better than fantastic job.

Having Liz Cheney lead a John Dean moment would have the greatest negative impact on Trump, I mean nervous breakdown type of impact.

The way she's being made a hero by democrats makes me ill. Look no further than her opinions on the recent Roe decision by SCOTUS before you lionize her.

Please start another thread if you want to talk about her other views and I will 100% agree with you.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

By the way, Liz Cheney did a fantastic job with her questions.

No one has pushed the committee to go after Trump harder than Cheney and it worries me that people are upset with that.

He somehow puts the focus on the answer.

I would like to see them all ask questions of the witness today.

Ms. Hutchinson took on a mentally ill mobster.

Ms. Hutchinson is an American hero, an American patriot.

Too bad MSNBC has Mrs. Greenspan analyzing this.

She came in every morning right before things got started. She was this gorgeous platinum blonde. Her hair was always pulled back in a bun. She was always dressed in a beautiful suit. And the minute she entered every camera was on her. She never flinched and she was always there to support her husband.

It was very dramatic.

I think they are still married.

And John Dean was so handsome in a nerdy kind of way.

Trump Loyalists are going to attack Ms. Hutchinson.
Trump Loyalists are going to attack Liz Cheney. Do Democrats really need to also attack Liz Cheney?

Trump can be charged with numerous crimes, DOJ has its pick, what a hearing, it gave me hope in our democracy staying alive.

He recognizes Cassidy Hutchinson's power right now, and also respects her vulnerability.
