Serious comments to Heather's serious summary of yesterday's J6 hearing.
On the lighter side: Eric Herschmann was trending on Twitter thusly:

Serious comments to Heather's serious summary of yesterday's J6 hearing.
On the lighter side: Eric Herschmann was trending on Twitter thusly:
"Thanks Eric Herschmann for your candor, truthfulness, & patriotism. Apologies, but, you give lawyers a good name...Said another way, Thx for being a regular honest American, even if you are a lawyer. :o)"
****
"I love this guy, Eric Herschmann. There's absolutely no misunderstanding where you stand with him!"
****
"My favorite story about Eric Herschmann is how he told Mike Flynn to STFU, and Flynn did so." "Flynn: 'You're quitting! You're a quitter! You're not fighting' he exploded at the senior advisor. Flynn then turned to the president and implored: 'Sir, we need fighters.'"
"Herschmann ignored Flynn at first and continued to probe Powell's pitch with questions about the underlying evidence. 'All you do is promise but never deliver' he said to her sharply."
"Flynn was ranting seemingly infuriated about anyone challenging Powell, who had represented him in his recent legal battle.
"Finally Herschmann had enough. 'Why the f*ck do you keep standing up and screaming at me?' he shot back at Flynn. 'If you want to come over here, come over here. If not, sit your ass down.' Flynn sat back down."
****
"Eric Herschmann seems like the kind of guy you'd want to have drinks with after being adversaries in a trial or deposition."
****
(Love this one!)
"ex-*rump W.H. lawyer, on what he said to Jeffrey Clarke: 'I said good f*cking' - excuse me, sorry. 'F'ing A-hole. Congratulations, you just admitted your first step or act you would take as Attorney General would be committing a felony and violating Rule 6(e).'"
****
"The best I can tell is the only thing you know about environmental and election challenges is they both start with 'e.'"
****
"Eric Herschmann is great at translating events into accessible Brooklynese." (Got some Brooklynites chiming in off this one!)
In the middle of my scrolling for Herschmann quotes, this popped into view:
"We were in Botswana when Trump was first running for President. I remember a young customs agent worrying that our country would become a dictatorship if he won. I wish I could meet that young man again and tell him he was wise beyond his years."
The stories and look backs are telling. I mean we can say “I told you so” to the voters and continuing supporters of TFG. “Becoming a dictatorship.” Yes there were more than hints. And this one: “The best I can tell is the only thing you know about environmental and election challenges is they both start with 'e.'" As long as enough voters do not understand ( or care?) about Democracy and Constitution, we will naturally be plagued with a deteriorating government. That should be a real concern.

Agree, Irenie, "As long as enough voters do not understand (or care?)..."
Or who want that. It is that perspective that scares the living daylights out of me.
