Sparks flew on Monday night's episode of CNN Tonight when CNN political analyst Scott Jennings landed body blow after body blow against the leftists on the panel with him. The topic at hand was the news that Visa MasterCard and American Express will begin tracking gun purchases used with their credit card coding systems.

A powerful Dutch banking executive signaled support for personal carbon wallets that would give citizens — and perhaps even a government regulator — the ability to track carbon emissions on a micro scale.

Naturally, CNN returned January 6 to its prime position as, from 3:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Eastern, the Jeff Zucker-led network spent 97 minutes obsessing over what it (and other developments) meant for the probe. In contrast to the 97 minutes and 19 seconds on…
