MORNING MUSING
Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) is sort of always a deal with to behold in congressional hearings. I’ve written on some of her exchanges right here before. But she will not be somebody to be trifled with. And I get the sensation that Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) was reminded of that on Wednesday during the first listening to of the GOP-led Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6.
As Rusty Weiss famous, Hageman mainly shut Raskin’s revolt rhetoric down proper fast. She’s an skilled trial attorney, so one would anticipate her to deal with the questioning of witnesses proficiently — which she does and did right here. But it was the look she shot at Raskin after he lamely tried to interrupt her questioning that obtained my consideration.
