On both of the above assertions --- I would demur.
The 'purpose' of the Select Committee is to investigate what happened on J6, who was involved in it, who, if anybody, had some responsibility for it, and what can be done to prevent another American tragedy of this dimension.
Now, if Don Trump get 'dirtied up' as the poster Polish alleges, well, that would not be unexpected if he was intimately involved in the decision making that caused it and/or accelerated and intensified it. If he was......well, getting 'dirtied' is the least America should expect. From testimony (under oath) by Republicans it certainly appears Don Trump was well aware of the Election Denial machinations prior to January 6th, and seemingly was aware that armed bad actors who supported him had the clear potential to do some bad juju on J6. Bad juju against our legislators assembled in the Capitol.
Second, poster Weather53's assertion that the piecemeal nature of the presentation signals that it is to continue for years.
In my opinion.....not hardly. The election is in November of 2022. That may have an impact on its longevity.
Look, this was a big complicated event with a lot of moving parts, and a lot of major and bit players. (Hell, we've had nearly 900 arrested so far.) Many of the players have motivations to hide or obfuscate their actions and statements. Hence, it takes a long time to winkle out the who did what and who said what details. And 'to what effect' did either or both have. I'm mildly sure all here know that.
So far, what America has seen is a Committee with minimalist grandstanding for a TV presentation by Congress. We've seen a focused and organized presentation of various aspects. We've seen credible witnesses....most of them Republicans. Some testifying against their interests. And, importantly, we've learned stuff.
So, all good so far. At least two more hearings to go. Hopefully, they can present their findings in those next hearings as professionally and effectively as they have done for the previous ones.
