More generally, I don't think it's all about convincing hard core Trumpers... it's about people in the middle who aren't very tuned into politics. And the historical record more generally.

I dont know that it will be successful in the former, I'm pretty cynical these days, though it probably will in the latter 

If they aren't tuned into politics, they are watching Netflix right now.

Does the average American, independent or moderate voter watch this? If so, do they care? Do you think they've done a good enough job thus far showing them and and getting them to understand the gravity of the situation? Do they understand the dire consequences of voting Trump-worshipping Republicans back into power?

Testimony from Ivanka and Bill Bar is extremely damning. Would Julie or Tricia Nixon ever turn on their dad? 

N/a. Nixon had the decency not to task David Eisenhower with a portfolio that included brokering Middle East piece, solving the drug crisis, liaison to Mexico, criminal justice reform, overhauling the Republican Party platform, and on and on.

Again, you are probably right. 

But it all needs to be on the record regardless, might as well try to break through

The headlines are getting out.  News is being made.  the RW Drudgereport is putting a lot of that out.

Flipped over to Fox News briefly and saw two things in short order:

  • While Nazi Ingraham was blathering, the crawl at the bottom read: Americans Are Smart Enough To Know That Democracy Wasn’t In jeopardy
  • Some no account R congressman from Texas said, basically, Democrats had all the intelligence about it beforehand and did nothing about it, why?, because Democrats wanted it to happen.

And so the Bonkers Brigade has been mobilized …

No need for any more of these hearings.  Just charge him now.

You laugh, but wait until all of it is revealed and see if you’d still feel the same way.

Soooooo glad the individual questions are submitted in writing so we aren't subject to hours of fundraising clips

I'm sure that is by design - they do not want these hearings to turn to business as usual as it would detract from their goals.

To that end, Kevin McCarthy did them a big solid by pulling all of his picks off the panel... this exercise will be far more clear and functional without Jim Jordan up there yelling at the witnesses

Serious question, did you think my statement was sarcastic?
