The panel charged with investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob will hold its first hearing this month, its chairman, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), said Friday.

In an interview on MSNBC, Thompson also said the hearing will “absolutely” go forward even if House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) declines to recommend Republican members for the panel.

“Either the 21st or 22nd of July, we will have our first [hearing],” Thompson said. “We take our work serious. We want to hear from any and all individuals who think they might have something to contribute to the investigation.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) moved to form the committee after Senate Republicans blocked an effort to create an independent, bipartisan commission.

1. Geenius republicans will probably try to storm the committee

Further proving the rancid point everyone already knows.

2. I hope they start it off w/a bang, not piddle around, while interest is high!

Please.....timing and messaging like the Republicans would (except we tell the truth).
