Did I hear Cummings say that he had suggested this topic to Gowdy for the first public hearing?
Cummings thanked his D colleague Adam Schiff for suggesting this topic.
Gowdy is very strategic-keep that in mind. He would not have agreed to it without careful thought.
I don’t know, but based on Gowdy’s past performance, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s going to let Cummings have his way in certain areas, with the strategy that superficial cooperation (even capitulation) is fine, and may even have some PR value, but it doesn’t matter what topic gets the attention at any given point because there’s plenty of ammo to be used on them on whatever battlefield they may choose.
