Judge Luttig reveals why he spoke so slowly at Jan. 6 hearing

[ShazzieB]

34. Neither did I!

I never understood what all the hooha was about, and I really don't understand why some people are still being so critical.

Yes, he was slow, slower than I would have preferred at times. My ADHD brain got the fidgets during some of those long pauses. But I found everything he said to be crystal clear and had no trouble following any of it.

In a situation like these hearings, each witness is going to express themselves in their own way, and not all of them are going to be polished public speakers or riveting communicators. They are there to contribute whatever information or insights they have to offer, not be entertaining or exciting to listen to. Luttig contributed some very important insights from his standpoint as a legal expert. Could he have done it in a more dynamic and engaging way? Sure. Was it necessary for him to do that? Absolutely not.

The man did the job he was there to do. I think it's just plain unfair to nitpick about whether he conformed to some arbitrary standard of the "correct" way to do it. YMMV, obviously.
