(CNN) I've been wondering who the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot sees as its primary audience. Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who co-chaired the committee, delivered a long presentation that felt like the opening arguments of a criminal trial. Thompson was always a strange choice to lead this committee, given his history of trying to interrupt a previous president's electoral college certification. Cheney has become public enemy number one to Trump and Thursday night she got her chance to swing back in prime time television. We did, after all, watch the storming of the Capitol unfold on live TV and have seen hours of footage since then.
