As many of you are aware the series of hearings by Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on our legislators have been riveting TV.
Surprisingly so given that it is a televised Congressional panel, made up of mostly Dems but some articulate and willful Republicans also. Usually such a recipe turns into a talk-fest and a lot of mugging to the camera. Not this hearing.
It has been sobersided and professional. Witnesses have been articulate and credible. The events described have been unsettling. Makes for good summer-time TV, IMHO.
So, we won't want to miss this next hearing......in prime-time, no less. This Thursday, tomorrow evening. Here is information from C-Net: https://www.cnet.com/news/politics/jan-6-committee-how-to-watch-thursdays-prime-time-hearing/

Jan. 6 Committee: How to Watch Thursday's Prime-Time Hearing
The House select committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol will, once again, hold a hearing during prime-time hours, on Thursday, July 21. The last time the committee was in session for the evening happened on June 9 for its first hearing.
Formed more than a year ago, the select committee has been investigating the circumstances behind the Jan. 6 attack and those who influenced the more than 800 people who've been criminally charged in connection with an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's win in the 2020 election. The committee held six sessions in June and is continuing in July.
Committee chairman Rep. Thompson, and Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee vice chairwoman and a Republican from Wyoming, spoke throughout the two-hour hearing. They revealed how officials from Trump's administration didn't believe his claims of voter fraud, how multiple Republican members of Congress sought presidential pardons for their roles in trying to overturn the election, and how, when the mob chanted "Hang Mike Pence," the vice president, Trump said: "He deserves it."
