Nicole Wallace's Show Today Is So Far A Complete Disgrace

They all miss the point that before the House Judiciary Committee held it's impeachment hearings and vote, there were months of televised hearings of the Senate Select Committee on Watergate that uncovered all the facts and the existence of the WH tapes. That is what moved public opinion.

Dems are trying to follow this model, but they only hold the House, not both chambers of Congress like Dems did during Watergate.

If I were Pelosi and the committee chairs, I'd be looking to begin hearings with small fish, ones who are bit players and cannot afford to defy Congress, but are still important. Remember it was Ulasewicz was the one who revealed the bags of hush money cash being delivered via phone booths and Butterfield who revealed the existence of the Oval Office taping system.

If they want a bigger fish, I'd call Flynn. Flynn's plea agreement requires him to co-operate and he has not yet been sentenced. Do you think he'd risk refusing to appear given Judge Sullivan's order that he co-operate more before Sullivan would impose a sentence? Sullivan doesn't have to accept the SCO's sentencing memo recommendations.
