This thread will reopen 2 hours prior to the hearing date and time of July 21, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. EDT.

P&E staff are tasked with balancing the interests of the OP, who is entitled to a thread that remains mostly on topic, against the interests of posters who wish to discuss things that may not have a relationship to the original topic of the thread. With that in mind, please let me clarify once again:

**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 you aren’t sure if your post is within these guidelines, it’s better to post it in the adjacent thread. Here is a link to the adjacent thread:

I freely admit there may have been better ways to run this discussion. Hindsight is always 20/20. But this is what we’ve got, so let’s please ensure it stays on topic. Thanks.
