Emptywheel (Marcy Wheeler) and Jeralyn Merritt provide analysis for PoliticsTV. Jeralyn at firedoglake and David Corn have posted recaps. Booman catches Ari's testimony at noteworthy odds with a report by former Time Magazine reporter John Dickerson, with the discrepancy having potential legal implications. update: Although not at all the way he remembers, or reported at the time, Dickerson speculates that Ari's testimony was not intentionally false and misleading.
