commentators/analysts. Some of them are just so savvy and wise. I heard one say to Blitzer that the committees need to pick out an handful of expert questioners and really plan how to go about this. It is not a time for every single person to get their moment on stage. And, more importantly, LET HIM TALK. Don't get bogged down in minutia. Sample question: "Please, explain ALL the incidents of obstruction of justice for the american public". Let the people hear a full explanation. Let the questions be open ended.

Then, Blitzer interviewed Schiff and was asked about this. He didn't seem to grasp and said, well it was up to the committee how to do this and they hadn't talked about it.

YES WATOOS !! Practice !!
