Reports: Jan. 6 Committee Considers Airing Public Hearings During Prime Time

The Jan. 6 committee is reportedly considering holding its upcoming public hearings during primetime hours, according to Bloomberg News and Axios.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who chairs the committee, told Bloomberg News that the panel views the potential decision as a way for the public to have “the best opportunity” to hear testimony and evaluate evidence.

“Maybe a series of hearings,” Thompson told Bloomberg News on Tuesday. “The public needs to know, needs to hear from people under oath about what led up to Jan. 6, and to some degree, what has continued after Jan. 6.”

Thompson added that the public hearings could happen in late March or early April, but the committee is still “working toward” a set date.

Also, I believe Trump was happy when the violence was happening, he was described as being giddy during it. There 100% has to be fil of him, virtually everything is on film around a President. Find this film and release it to the public, it will be the end of Trumpism.

Gave everyone a chance to listen to testimony and decide for themselves.

Took forever for the story to gain traction and the man in the street to even give it a thought.

Looked like Nixon was getting away with it but the end came swiftly.

Give Garland a chance to do his work. Be patient.
