My favorite news commentator wrote this today in Fast Forward of the Boston Globe:
Later this afternoon, he [Trump] will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Roger Penske, presumably for being a successful race car driver and businessman. I wonder if Trump knows that Penske’s company once donated half a million bucks to a Super PAC supporting that #HumanScumMitt Romney.
You know that episode yesterday when about two dozen House Republicans stormed into a closed impeachment deposition, a move Democrats labeled as a desperate stunt designed to draw attention away from the damning facts? Well, we find out this morning that about half of those Republicans are on the three committees taking the depositions, so they already had access to the meeting room. I wonder if any of them realized that.

I wonder if any of them realized that.
Of course. Street theater has moved into the halls of Congress. Trump encouraged the political performance as a distraction from publicity about the substance of the testimony, including the written statements of some civil servants who refusded to be intimidated by Trump.
