As part of the upcoming televised public Jan 6 hearings, I recommend that McCarthy's

floor speech he gave a week after the attempted coup, be aired as the preface to the hearing. He doesn’t want to testify, then play his damn words.
It should be aired in the beginning of each hearing. Period.

I think also everyone who pleads the fifth should have to come in and say that for each question, and each question should be very pointed, like: "On Jan 5, did you attend the Trump war session at the Willard Hotel, where plans were made for Jan 6?"
"5th Amendment."
"Did you on Jan 6 give a speech wearing body armor? Why did you wear body armor? What violence were you anticipating?"
"5th Amendment."

Make their own words and actions their testimony.

Theatrics works. Trump uses that all the time. Use it against him and his lackeys.

damn thing for all Americans, many of whom do not have access to 24/7 cable media blather.
I expect the hearing to be on network tv.
