Clip of the day — CNN’s coverage of Tuesday’s Jan. 6 committee hearing
gave way to one of the more surreal exchanges we’ve seen on cable news,
as Jake Tapper and former national security adviser John Bolton
discussed some Jan. 6 participants’ attempts to overthrow the
government:

Tapper: “One doesn’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup.”

Bolton: “I disagree with that. As somebody who has helped plan coups
d’etat — not here, but other places — it takes a lot of work.”

About that hearing — Tuesday’s hearing was cut into two different parts:
Donald Trump's call to action, and his supporters’ response. 

Pieced together, they amount to this: The members of the Jan. 6 panel
“are laying out an unmistakable map to a potential criminal case against
the former president,” as Kyle Cheney and Nicholas Wu write.
