   1. I'd prefer they open the hearing with a recital of the oaths of office — Congressional and Presidential oaths would seem to be particularly relevant.

3. Republicans seem to have settled on the strongest defense strategy they think the public will buy — Trump's a gullible old fool

   Many of President Donald Trump’s critics (myself included) have portrayed him as a fantastically successful con artist, a man who has swindled customers, vendors and voters alike.

   We were all wrong. Trump isn’t history’s biggest scam artist; he is history’s biggest dupe.

    

   At least, that’s the narrative Trump and his defenders are spinning as they portray the president as the victim of an elaborate, long-running political sting, perpetrated by his own devious underlings.

   Trump claimed once upon a time that he was recruiting the “best people” to the White House and senior ranks of the executive branch. He now claims he got conned into hiring a cabal of covert Never Trumpers.

   The list of people who allegedly hustled the master hustler is long, an “Ocean’s Eleven”-like dream team carefully cultivated to undermine their guileless boss.
