1. Good

But it's the open hearing with the House committee that is important.

2. Somehow...this feels like.....

Feels like a subtle form of intimidation message by the GOP Senate wherein, Cohen, he best maintain within the walls of silence when speaking on February 7th openly to the public for the House Hearings....

4. Per the OP article for the Senate hearing

Any interview with Cohen would almost certainly take place in private, in keeping with how the panel generally conducts Russia-related hearings.

I think the House one was aiming to be a public hearing however.
