Even as he raised his gavel to open the hearings, Thompson knew that the committee's Democrats had found a way to steal the show. For weeks the man at the center of the scandal, former D.N.C. fund raiser John Huang, had refused to testify; so when Glenn disclosed in his opening statement that Huang might be willing to talk if he were granted some partial immunity, Republicans growled that it was "nothing more than an opening-day stunt."
