Would people pay less attention to hearing in the spring and summer...?

...than they would in the winter months?

The Committee has announced that they would probably have their Jan 6 hearings in late April or early May. Although they do not wish to hurry the gathering of evidence, it will likely be less-watched in those months. Especially if it is not in prime time.

In my opinion, those folks that do not know what happened on January 6th, and before, will likely not be very interested when the hearings come. Those that care about our country and the threats to our democracy have mostly made up their minds already.

The timing probably does not matter. The goal is to get to the facts and tell people what they are and, if they don't want to listen, that is their choice. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

1. The worst possible case is that it has gone on for so long is that people are just tired of hearing

about it.

4. Maybe, but I will be interested to see

all of the crimes that could have been prosecuted. That will fire me up to GOTV in November.

5. Of course, it has to be done, if for nothing else than history to set the record straight. I just

don't recognize America anymore. Something like this should have destroyed the republican party in the upcoming midterms.

9. Watergate went on for a lot longer, and people didn't get tired of hearing about it.

2. When the hearings are finally televised, I will watch everyday.

3. I think the biggest Watergate hearings were in the summer.

And of course, this story is much bigger than Watergate.

6. Watergate had a special grand jury also,

which indicted a lot of Big Fish, and even named Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator. The only reason it didn't indict Nixon was because of the "memo" somewhere, which states you can't indict a sitting president.

Today, my belief is that memo has grown into, you can't indict a former president. (Just for DOJ) The states are doing their thing.

8. Sadly, I agree.

If Turd ever suffers any consequences, it will only be through the courageous efforts of people like Leticia James and Fanni Willis. DOJ will mop up a few horned helmet types and call it a day.

No matter what they find, the committee hearings will end up being nothing more than dystopian entertainment.

7. The Watergate hearings began in May and were broadcast live

for two weeks. People were glued to their televisions the whole time.
