Former judge J. Michael Luttig both flummoxed and shocked viewers yesterday with his testimony before the January 6 Committee, and his sobering warning about the ongoing threat to democracy. Here's his full opening statement:

J. Michael Luttig is the former federal appeals court judge who advised Vice President Mike Pence that the VP had no authority to reject electors on Jan. 6. Back in February, Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza spent four hours interviewing Luttig for a Deep Dive episode that ended up being mostly about his extraordinary role advising Mike Pence on Jan. 6.
And you know, and I would say to your listeners that. It’s inconceivable to me how anyone could have better stated, characterized and summarized the Mueller Report at that point than the way in which he did it. Remember, the public was clamoring to get their report, but it was going to take, you know, a week or two to redact classified information. So, you know, Bill didn’t even have to do this, but he thought because the country was demanding it, that he should do it, and he did. And it could not have been any more pin perfect, pinpoint perfect than what it was as a summary, a high level summary of that which was of the greatest interest to America at that moment.
