Brian Lowry: “For those who have talked about the production qualities of the Jan. 6 committee hearings, it was particularly notable how Thursday’s news-breaking hearing built toward the revelation of the names of the members of Congress that had allegedly sought pardons.”

“It was structured very much as if it was building toward a dramatic climax, saving the most newsworthy element — the one seemingly destined to reverberate loudest in the days ahead — to close the presentation.”
