Jan. 6 committee prepares to go public as Capitol insurrection findings mount

WASHINGTON — They’ve interviewed more than 300 witnesses, collected tens of thousands of documents and traveled around the country to talk to election officials who were pressured by Donald Trump.

Their goal is not only to show the severity of the riot, but also to make a clear connection between the attack and Trump’s brazen pressure on the states and Congress to overturn Joe Biden’s legitimate election as president. They hope to fill in the blanks about the preparations before the attack, the financing behind the Jan. 6 rally that preceded it and the extensive White House campaign to overturn the 2020 election. They are also investigating what Trump himself was doing as his supporters fought their way into the Capitol.

“I think this is one of the single most important congressional investigations in history,” Cheney said. The panel also is focusing on the preparations for the Jan. 6 rally near the White House where Trump told his supporters to “fight like hell” — and how the rioters may have planned to block the electoral count if they had been able to get their hands on the electoral ballots.

Pelosi, who created the select committee after Republican senators rejected an evenly bipartisan outside commission, subsequently appointed Republicans Cheney and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Trump critics who shared the Democrats’ desire to investigate the attack.

Can't wait to see reality deniers 😆

Wait, let me make sure there's space on my DVR! NeverForgetJanuary6th

Could anyone imagine what could’ve been accomplished with that 6 months of intensity by the House committee, if not for 1/6/21? I wonder how much money that translates to. I wonder how much time & effort is involved with EVERYONE who touched “Jan 6.” Where was Police Capt Pelosi?
