Who should be on the list of witnesses for the Select Committee?

Where should they start? At the bottom and work up? Or at the top and work down?

How about if they started with former VP, Mike Pence? That would create a world of interest in the viewing public and the odds would be good that Mike Pence would start off the Committee hearing with a bang. One can imagine the questions he would be asked and the answers he would give.

Or would it be preferable to start with police officers or members of Congress that were beaten or threatened that day? If a couple of Democratic Congresspeople were called as witnesses, it might make it more difficult for Republicans to refuse to testify?

Would it be best to get the people's attention right away, or just start at the bottom and work up? Personally, I think Mike Pence and Bill Barr would be an excellent place to start.

...then, if Republicans refused, it would not be good optics. It would look like they were hiding something.
