Clip of the day \u2014 CNN\u2019s coverage of Tuesday\u2019s Jan. 6 committee hearing gave way to one of the more surreal exchanges we\u2019ve seen on cable news, as Jake Tapper and former national security adviser John Bolton discussed some Jan. 6 participants\u2019 attempts to overthrow the government:\nTapper: \u201cOne doesn\u2019t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup.\u201d\nBolton: \u201cI disagree with that. As somebody who has helped plan coups d\u2019etat \u2014 not here, but other places \u2014 it takes a lot of work.\u201d\nAbout that hearing \u2014 Tuesday\u2019s hearing was cut into two different parts: Donald Trump's call to action, and his supporters\u2019 response.\xa0\nPieced together, they amount to this: The members of the Jan. 6 panel \u201care laying out an unmistakable map to a potential criminal case against the former president,\u201d as Kyle Cheney and Nicholas Wu write.\n.
