    There are some interesting snippets in there about what she learned about how the Dem party operates vs the Republicans from when she was part of the Jan 6th committee.

    In the Dems’ case, the reps themselves do a lot of the work - they’re actual lawyers and qualified people who can dig into the substance of an issue and go through the details in a knowledgeable way. The reps, in contrast, rely on staffers for most everything that isn’t the most basic understanding. She said that the difference between how the Dem and Rep parties operate are like night and day.

    I think the snippet is included as part of Lawrence O’Donnell’s interview with Nancy Pelosi last night, but I might be wrong. I watched a lot of Liz Cheney talking on the news last, and heard a lot of snippets from her audiobook yesterday as well, so I’m not 100% sure, but I think the source is either Lawrence or Nicole Wallace’s show.
