Police testimony will lead off panel's first Jan. 6 hearing

1. I am both dreading and looking forward to this.

It's going to be gut-wrenching.

I've been working at home since early March of 2019 and I was cut off from a Zoom call that day. I couldn't rejoin the call, and I was waiting for my boss to call me, so I turned CNN on while I waited. This was just as the first reports of the Capitol Building breech were being reported.

My daughter, who lives in Europe, called and we both watched the insurrection unfold on live tv. I will never forget it.

I felt traumatized and I wasn't even there. I can't imagine how tough this is going to be for LEOs, members of Congress, staffers, and other personnel who lived through it.
