It'll pass without much notice, but was a substantive point. If the DEMs were honest, they would know this without being spanked for trying to coopt CJ onto their team.
Also, once you take this and play it back into many of Schiff's arguments about how CJ could make the "more witnesses" process work quick, Schiff's arguments become totally bogus. IOW, Schiff assumes a bogus theory and asserts it as good law. A day later, on a slightly different question, CJ says Schiff's legal contentions are false.
Very good post. You know your stuff.
