I ignored this story when it first surfaced about 5 days ago:

Guantanamo detainee trials could be broadcast online thanks to House measure

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/13/house-votes-in-favor-of-broadcasting-guantanamo-ba/

But skimming it again today I see Adam Schiff’s name:

“Mr. Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, introduced the amendment after a report he requested from the Government Accountability Office recommended that the military consider making the commissions available online.

“The military commissions at Guantanamo have been out of sight, and therefore out of mind, for far too long,” said Rep. Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.”As Guantanamo nears its third decade, and with trials still years away, it is all the more important that victim’s families, the media and the public are able to follow the trials before the military commissions.

The version of the defense bill passed by the Democratic-controlled House was approved by a nearly party-line vote of 220-197.

Mr. Schiff ....said he would push for it to appear in the final version considered by Congress.”

I would have loved to hear ‘No Name’s’ trial and GHWB’s trial...

and just think, we might even be able to listen to Mr. Schiff’s trial...

Just my opinion...

Don't fret lil' Adam. I think you're gonna have a front row seat.
