How does this leak out from closed testimony and is it really legit? It sounds too good to be true.
Usually comes from interns via their phones.
I think it's fair to question legitimacy of it, and certainly parts of it are the writer's sense.
I find it to be pretty credible based on the way it flows, observations made (phone rings, objections from Dems, etc.) and delivered in a series of fairly short posts that start with the hearing start, and end with the hearing end.
