I too was very impressed TC, an extremely strong case was outlined.

Observations from the outside: Having no "skin in the game" I like to flatter myself that I can see things differently.
To me, after Liz Cheney and Benson's * performances, I got the impression that she, not he, was very much in command and control of this thing and is the Game Master, Director, Editing Director, and Exective Producer. As such Ms Cheney knows exactly what is yet to come. War has been declared internaly within the GOP and that will be the focus of her long game. We all noted how the DoJ's superseding indictment landed on the incarcerated Not So Proud Now Boys a few days before this public hearing - well timed for effect, and to let the noise settle down. Many moves are yet to be played out in this game of 3D chess (thinking Game of Thrones) and I will not be surprised if she has some player pieces lined up in the wings that we do not yet see. It's plausable that, over the coming five or six weeks, some Congressional Representatives may also receive delivery of their own personal indictments for Seditious Conspiracy and Other Offenses. "Ha! Hold my brain, be still my beating heart."
How difficult will it be to gain endorsement for re-election at midterms while awaiting a grand jury trial for sedition? Against a Liz Cheney endorsed candidate? What are the chances of a Cheney candidate winnining in a red state if the Dem voters there curiously decide to "squander their votes" accordingly? America, where weird and impossible shit happens every damn day.
* apologies if my reference to a favourite '80s comedy series offends, but the title sprung to mind during Chairman Bennie Thompson's closing.
I see wannabe Michigan governor Ryan Kelly is facing up to one year in federal prison and a fine of up to $100,000 for each of the four federal misdemeanor charges in regard to his participation on Jan. 6 that the FBI arrested him for this week. His Zoom hearing on June 16 would be an interesting one to watch in on.

I like the way you dream, and I'd rather wake up in your dream than mine.
