Good point, Amelia — though maybe it’s meant only for those who do know who he is.

Micah, it definitely could be fertile ground. I just don’t think the points are being made very sharply. For people who don’t necessarily know who Lanny Davis is, repeating his name over and over again isn’t super helpful.

I was thinking about that earlier, Micah, when Rep. Carolyn Maloney said that “this is a story of redemption” after questioning Cohen. I know that congressional hearings are largely political theater, but it seems as if that could be bad framing for Democrats, especially as much of Cohen’s testimony will be seen through largely partisan lenses.
