14. It's only been two months

Two months since the SCOTUS ruling on Trump’s privilege claims and the resulting dump of thousands of pages of documents, as well as barely two months since Pence’s staff testified.

The public hearings will likely contain few surprises, but instead will most probably be a well organized summary of all evidence and closed door testimony, packed for easy digestion by the short-attention-span public.

from Re-fascists. And, I see hard work and determination from Democrats wasted, with a loosely defined end game and no will to fight on behalf of anybody with power to prosecute.

My understanding is they didn't get the messages sent between Nov 24 and Jan 10. Can you imagine what's in those? (Cough, Jan 6 planning and reaction, cough)!
