The members of the Jan. 6 House select committee are aware of the high expectations connected to tonight’s hearing. Committee members acknowledge that there has been a significant period of time since the Capitol riot and that much of their investigation has been conducted behind closed doors.
Members of the committee recognize that they have two important missions tonight: First to re-introduce the events of Jan. 6, 2021, to the American people and remind them of the gravity of the situation and the implications it could have had on the peaceful transfer of power.
The second is to introduce their thesis — that Donald Trump is specifically responsible for the push to undermine the election results and that effort was directly tied to the Capitol riot.
Their goal is re-invest the public in the urgency of the moment. They hope that opens the door to more interest in their future hearings and ultimately their final report in the fall.
