Here’s Axios’s Mike Allen with what he breathlessly terms a “scoop”: “I’m told Goldston is busily producing Thursday’s 8 p.m. ET hearing as if it were a blockbuster investigative special.”

Oh? James Goldston, former ABC News president and “a master documentary storyteller,” according to Allen, is “a renowned former network-news executive” who is working for the Democrats to “hone a mountain of explosive material into a captivating multimedia presentation for a prime-time hearing Thursday” in yet another attempt to restore the events of January 6, 2021, to the front of the national attention.
