I remember a few things about the pandemic. I remember that the Obama admin had constructed a detailed playbook after the first SARS crisis, and the Trump admin ignored it. I remember the shortages of PPE and Kushner advising delivering only to red states, because blue states weren't our people. I remember that there were early warning systems in place until Trump dismantled them. And I suspect that the Woodward tapes you mention hold a lot of things that I've forgotten. Moreno trotting out the F bomb to show his fury was so juvenile. Johnson's performative stupidity (I admit I've only seen clips - I wouldn't watch these clowns if you paid me) makes my fillings ache. Fauci's words at the beginning were dead accurate. His lawyer getting tossed was probably planned just to emphasize that the whole thing was performative nonsense. Here's hoping there aren't another 8 or 10 hearings like the Benghazi crap that Hillary went through. Real oversight is important, but it's not on the menu with these twits.

Hillary weathered TEN GOP-led inquisitions which came up with the same result: NADA.

Yes. You absolutely nailed what Dr. Fauci’s “hearing” was about. I am impressed with your stamina and insight. You dive into the most terrible waters and come up alive and thriving and with an excellent essay in your hand. Boy you write a beautifully analyzed essay. Thank you for your work.

There needs to be a moral reckoning and a Nuremburg tribunal when the Democrats regain power.
