Wonkette Live Blog - January 6 Select Committee: THE FINAL CHAPTER
Blow-by-blow with links, video clips, photos, and the customary snark.
https://www.wonkette.com/january-6-select-committee-the-final-chapter
The House January 6 Select Committee is back today for what is quite likely its final hearing before Kevin McCarthy takes back the speaker's gavel and turns the House of Representatives into a Star Chamber fixated on Hunter Biden's laptop.
But before then we're going to get a summation of the committee's work over the past year and a half, with the focus on Donald J. Trump, the person whose quest to stay in power is at the center of this nightmare. CNN reports that the committee's focus today will be on warning Americans that the former president remains a “clear and present danger” to the Republic, even as he is very clearly gearing up for a third presidential campaign in 2024.
We won't be seeing any live witnesses today, but we will see new evidence and video testimony from former Cabinet officials who hadn't spoken to the committee before.
“We will be presenting a great deal of new documentary evidence tomorrow as well,” a select committee source told CNN. “And certainly among that evidence will include information from the hundreds of thousands of pages that the United States Secret Service has produced to the committee pursuant to the committee’s subpoena of July.”
So, let's do this, shall we?
