Moderating:

In an ATMB thread where moderation of this thread was discussed, @Cervaise offered the following to help clarify my intent in moderating this thread. I thought it was perfect, so I’m using it verbatim:

> In the interest of maintaining a manageable focus in this thread, we will narrow the topic from this point forward to ‘what has happened, who has appeared, what has been said, and what it might mean.’ Speculative subjects should be covered in a separate thread, perhaps under the heading ‘who else should be called, what might they offer, why is the committee not calling them, etc.’

If participants are unable to comply with the directive, I will simply lock this thread in between hearings. I’d much prefer to allow on-topic discussions, but we must have some limiting guideposts and locking the thread is, to me, a better choice than handing out warnings. If you aren’t sure if your post is within the guidelines, it’s probably better to post it in an adjacent thread. I have created one here:

> The purpose of this thread is to give posters a place to discuss speculative ideas and points arising from the January 6th hearings. It can include such discussions on subjects such as who else should be called, what might they offer, why is the Committee not calling them, etc. This thread is not intended as a catch-all for anything you’d like to post about Donald Trump or things not pertaining in some way to the January 6th hearings… Please make sure your post includes at least some tangenti…

The hearing previously scheduled for Thursday, July 14th, has been postponed to an undetermined future date. It also sounds like there will be additional hearings scheduled in August and possibly September, making it more important than ever that we try to keep discussions in this thread focused. Thanks.
