The House committee investigating last year's Capitol attack hopes to explain what happened Jan. 6, 2021, but the challenge is whether the tick-tock sets off alarms or the viewing public simply hits the snooze button.
Court records described the debunked legal strategy behind former President Donald Trump’s effort to reject votes in closely contested states. Closed-door testimony described Trump’s inaction for hours after the Capitol was breached.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said during an April program at Georgetown University the hearings would "blow the roof off the House."
Raskin said, "I do believe that we are going to tell this story of perhaps the greatest political crime or attempted political crime in American history. We have voluminous detail that is helping us put the whole story together.”
A coalition of 150 advocacy groups announced they would organize watch parties for the hearings.
“This is a criminal conspiracy that has been unfolding for more than a year, not just another blip in the news cycle," Lisa Gilbert, executive vice president of Public Citizen, said. "It’s a top story that includes the fragility of our democracy and the ongoing threats to its integrity."
The Capitol attack, when 140 police officers were injured as a mob ransacked the building, temporarily halted Congress counting Electoral College votes certifying President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee’s vice chair, said, "While the attack was underway, President Trump knew it was happening” and “took no immediate action to stop it,” Cheney said on the House floor. “This appears to be a supreme dereliction of duty by President Trump, and we are evaluating whether our criminal laws should be enhanced to supply additional and more severe consequences for this type of behavior.”

My bet is that the rating will be extremely low as most would prefer to watch old reruns, Pawn Stars, watch Netflix, or Amazon Prine. So, let them have their little tired ass temper tantrum and spew their lies. Not even their true believers will watch this farce.
Long awaited only by the Democrats and the press.
There’s no penalty for Congressmen telling bald lies to the media or to the public. Of course, the MSM will not even hint that the liars should lose credibility, no matter how many lies.
Will be another 4 months of “most secure election in history!” and anyone who says otherwise can sit in front of a kangaroo court, conveniently leading up to the midterms
Prove 140 officers were injured by the protestors.
Let’s see the part of the 14,000 hours of videotape from inside the Capitol that show the trespassers. I won’t hold my breath.
Proof we are on the way to becoming a Banana Republic.
“...”It’s a top story that includes the fragility of our democracy....”

There’s that phrase again, ‘our democracy’.
Id rather get my tooth pulled than watch that garbage..these commies really need something to take the focus off of the fact that Biden is an absolute FAILURE of a demented idiot
I prefer to watch old episodes of Hazel, damn good show though..too bad the entire cast is deceased
I know exactly what these M-Fs on the Jan 6 committee are going to do. A month prior to the Fall Midterms, they’re going to indite Trump and his family members. Doesn’t matter if the charges are total garbage. the Dems are desperate going into the election.
It won’t do them any good, but it’s all they’ve got as they can’t run on Biden’s record.
‘Revelations’ like another Trump pee tape or the Trump Dossier? Not sure I can handle anymore ‘revelations’ coming from this political farce called the Jan 6th committee, spare me plz. /s
Trump using legal processes to argue the election is held out as insurrection, these people are insane
I suspect that we will see nothing but a Soviet style show trial featuring unsupported accusations by the dozen.
How many of the corrupt members of the select committee participated in the left wing conspiracy to steal the 2020 election?
Nancy Pelosi does not really have a legitimate committee. She is probably in power because the Democrats have been counting the votes. The whole operation is a coverup by the guilty. Disgusting!
Stalinist show trial
Another Russia hoax like monkey pox on the American people
In Sri Lanka, the pissed off population has burned down the homes of 34 corrupt politicians, including a former president of that country.
Makes one go hmmmm.
