Democrats want Americans glued to their TVs Tuesday for the first hearing of the Jan. 6 select committee. They also don't want a circus.
More than six months since the deadly siege of the Capitol, the select panel's first meeting is designed as a somber yet camera-ready event to elicit fading memories of that day's horrifying events — not to mention counter a GOP wave of revisionist history that threatens to muddy the waters.
The select committee’s members, assembled for their first public appearance since Speaker Nancy Pelosi added Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) to the dais, are set to question officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Capitol Police who personally fended off violent rioters on the hunt for members of Congress.
The four officers will be dressed in their uniforms to testify, despite appearing in a personal capacity. Questions to them will be limited and interwoven with video footage. And members are restricted to one round of back-and-forth, ensuring the hearing lasts only a few hours rather than becoming an all-day affair like other high-profile moments in Washington.
The hearing comes at a pivotal moment for Democrats and the two House Republicans who put their political futures on the line to join in the investigation. Democrats want to avoid the spectacle that engulfed the Benghazi select committee during former President Barack Obama's second term, despite the GOP's best efforts to frustrate the inquiry into the insurrection. And given their thin majority, they’re trying to avoid playing politics, even though the investigation will inevitably lead back to Donald Trump and other Republicans.
“We're a very serious committee that's extremely cohesive and bipartisan,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a select panel member, told a POLITICO reporter while passing through the metal detectors outside the House floor.

Oh I am sure the fake news is going to go full throttle on amplifying the lies.
Local Miami media in Florida is sending “journalists” to cover this crap.
Nothing like a witchhunt with predetermined conclusions.
Rest assured, my FRiends, that every committee member, Dem and RINO alike, has already been handed a list of the questions he/xe/she is to ask, and that each member has been told the consequences of deviating in any manner from their individual list.
More like a Soviet show trial. The script has been written and the accused are already convicted.
Orwellian is the only word that comes to mind.
set up—Impeachment 3
Wonder how they’d feel about a counter protest during the sham?
Or how they will compete with the results of the Arizona audit?
The “Unarmed Capitol Holocaust” shows how big and useless our government has become; they are actually spending taxpayer dollars on this...
Its more like a Trump hunt.
The predetermined outcome is: Trump should be declared ineligible to run for public office.
In their minds this will solve their problem..which is.. how do we make America full totalitarian .
“...Capitol Police who personally fended off violent rioters on the hunt for members of Congress.”
And they say the pubbies are the source of ‘revisionist history’??? SMDH...
This will be a circus for the lefturds, again.
I predict this is going to backfire in the libtards face the same way the Dems “Covid Express” private jet escape from Texas backfired.
Who wrote this crap, some ChiCom agent??

This will be the appendix to the second weak impeachment attempt. You do remember that, do you not?
Only this time there will be no legal team representing the president.
Peach Fo Fi!
7:15 AM CDT 7/27/21 Fox News let the cat out of the hat about the hearing starting today, but no where can you find a time & station to watch this witch hunt. Looks like it’s by design.
““We’re a very serious committee that’s extremely cohesive and bipartisan,” Rep. Jamie Ratskin (D-Md.), a select panel member,...”
Wasn’t Ratskin one of the “impeachment” leaders?
Politico is written by Morlocks for apes.
First, not watching NBA finals.
Then not watching the Olympics.
Now not the ‘Bipartisan’ circus.
Hmmm does Bipartisan mean two partisans?
Cheney and Kinzinger
“The circus is in town.”
And they brought all the CLOWNS WITH THEM.
