Well if you look at their body of work around national/international "policy" thus far there is nothing that would lead me to to believe that they wouldn't double-down on stupid.....They just have a couple of political dead men walking RINOs on their side this time.
The American public has the attention span and focusing abilities of a two year old at a carnival. Plus, we're more concerned about things that affect us directly.
The report goes beyond prior analyses to provide the first in-depth treatment of the voluminous publicly available evidence and the relevant law, including possible defenses. It reviews the evidence as to whether Trump as a matter of law conspired with his outside counsel John Eastman, administration lawyer Jeffrey Clark, and others to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 by scheming to block the electoral count on January 6, 2021 and to subvert the Department of Justice’s election enforcement work. The report similarly reviews the evidence as to whether Trump and Eastman violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c) with their scheme to obstruct the congressional count.

The bolded area is what I'm curious about going into this. The committee can't do anything legally, and I'm assuming that they're putting everything in a big pile and shipping it off to the DOJ when they're done with the public stuff.The report goes beyond prior analyses to provide the first in-depth treatment of the voluminous publicly available evidence and the relevant law, including possible defenses.

While the report is primarily focused on possible federal offenses that the hearings are expected to illuminate, it also notes evidence potentially probative of state criminal violations that the hearings will consider. Fulton County, Georgia is one jurisdiction currently investigating such evidence, and the report addresses the factual and legal aspects of that investigation and how it will be advanced by the Congressional hearings. (The Georgia investigation is also the subject of a separate report by some of the publication’s authors.)
The report’s review of well-established law and public record evidence as it exists today leads the authors to believe that there is substantial evidence of all the essential elements of those federal and state offenses and suggests there is a substantial basis for prosecutors to go forward. Accordingly, the report considers whether the Committee will send prosecutors an evidentiary “road map” or even formal criminal referrals as among the possible legislative and other outcomes following the hearings. The decision whether to make such referrals rests with the January 6 Committee and the ultimate determination whether to prosecute must be made by the Department of Justice—and for Georgia state offenses, by the Fulton County District Attorney. But the issues bearing on those judgments are among the most important open questions as the Committee does its work and as prosecutors weigh next steps. Our report’s analysis is intended to help readers evaluate all those proceedings going forward.

A report reviewing the substantial evidence that Donald Trump conspired to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, by scheming to block the electoral count on January 6, 2021.
This report is tremendously informative in explaining the statutes behind the crimes Trump committed and the evidence of his (and other's) guilt.
Bad optics.
Again Hugh Hewitt who I started a thread on back a few months ago
Political prisoners. Very AmeriKKKan.
The optics are bad because REPUBLICANS refused to allow for a bipartisan non-lawmaker commission.

Hay Pally.It's been " PUSHED " hard since day one { January 6th }.
One would hope it will fill any gaps in knowledge regarding info the DoJ already has. The real question being whether Garland has the nads to charge a former prez with a crime(s) since it is inevitable he will be accused of being motivated by politics if he does. Making it somewhat important for the public to pay attention to the hearings so they can grasp the scope of Trump's criminal behavior.
You are right. How could they inflect more injuries after an 18 month locked up in total confinement, no charges filed. Their rights as Americans violated by dirty tyrants that shit them self and anyone within 10 feet. Ask the Pope! I hope we have enough short rope to go around for all the bunch of those worthless lying democRats and a few left over for their ass hole followers.I've seen several comments from around the net about the importance of these hearings, and this board sure is crammed with threads trying to downplay them. So some facts, just for fun:
- This isn't a trial. There are some who appear to think it is.
- Some Dems, especially Jamie Raskin, sure have been pumping this sucker up at the risk of creating expectations that are too high.
- If these members launch into the standard politician showboating, preening and pontificating for the cameras, this thing is toast.
- If they start going beyond hard facts, hard evidence and solid testimony, people will tune out.
- If they provide hard facts, hard evidence and solid testimony, great, it will help to flesh out the historical record.
- Those who are saying this is a cynical ploy to grab the independents certainly have a fair point. Such is the condition of our politics.
- This committee can't convict anyone. They can't sentence anyone. What they're doing is separate from legal proceedings.
- I'd imagine there will be a lot of people like me who don't want to sit through it, and will just observe the fallout, where we can get views from both ends.
- What matters in this thing is what, if anything, Garland and the DOJ decide to do. I'd imagine they'll get the evidence the committee has found.

There's a reason that No respectable Journalist even bothers
Nope. The FACT is there are 600 political prisoners sitting in Nancy Pelosi's personal gulag.
It's a joke based in a lie they know is a lie. Same as Russian Collusion. Obama, Clinton and Biden should be in jail for that bit of treason but they will only see justice when they are thrown in to Hell on Judgment Day.I've seen several comments from around the net about the importance of these hearings, and this board sure is crammed with threads trying to downplay them.
