The calm, accurate and definitive summary that we have come to expect from Mr. Alter. He delineates the historic testimony from Ms. Hutchinson in a chilling yet dispassionate way.
Thank god (George Burns) - the focus of the media has shifted from the Capitol to the Ellipse, where the origin of the crime was revealed to the world by Cassidy Hutchinson. Trump is now perched like an insect on the lip of a carnivorous pitcher plant. He can struggle but he cannot avoid the slippery slope to political oblivion. Sic semper tyrannis.
Yes, it's different this time. The reason is - Liz Cheney. She has gravitas, she is no-nonsense, she is Republican, and she is pissed. Compared to lightweights like Kevin McCarthy, she wins the battle of "Who do you respect/admire/love?" hands down. Republicans who have not yet drunk the Kool-Aid see her as a guide to a future of respectability in the body politic.

This is a great synopsis. Even though I saw the hearing, it will be a good one to refer back to as these hearings go on .
OK, good coverage but you're running the risk of giving readers "Hutchinson Testimony Fatigue."
