Only Two Days Later

Again, journalists need to decide whether they will fight for the Constitution, or only the First Amendment. https://t.co/Qg5ieboI5c https://t.co/7K8phobflT

If you read the emptywheel piece (highly recommended) and the Jonathan Allen piece linked there, you realize how much has already happened since last Wednesday.

A) Maria Yovanovich's testimony, complete with the drama of an angry Presidential tweet denouncing her in no uncertain terms. A hearing which earned her a standing ovation from the audience;

B) New deposition transcripts from people who heard the "perfect" phone call (spoiler: it wasn't).

C) SNL's cold open portraying the first day as a soap opera, an almost direct response to Allen, still bouncing around the web almost 24 hours later;

D) Eugene Robinson's observation on MTP this morning that we've only 2 days of public testimony, and already the shit has hit the fan.

Imagine what Tuesday will bring.
