How to get the people interested in the Committee hearings ?

We need as many people as possible to watch the January 6th hearings. Since we will be in the garden and spring cleaning time of year, many might miss them?

But, there is one thing that could be done to get the attention of even the most apathetic voter.

The DOJ could charge a couple or three big names before the hearings begin. It would be reported on all the networks and newspapers, including FOX and OAN.

That might be a good start?

They enjoy being lied to and that will get their attention.

That the day's findings can be summarized into no more than a 5-10 minute social media video. Only a minority are going to watch 6-8 hours of testimony, and if you want to convince the politically unconnected, the message has to be short and digestable.

Because its not the job of DOJ to jin up a TV audience. Its their job to prosecute crimes.

lives and have very little interest in the hearings. I don't know how you get them to watch. I expect some well-placed ads at the midterms might help get those who participated tossed out of office...hope so.

… relentlessly run ads on the major networks and cable channels:

Will Comrade Тяцмp go to prison?

What WAS that shit leaking from Rudy Giuliano’s head?

Is Tommy Tuberville REALLY the stupidest member of Congress?

Why did Josh Hawley give a “Black Power” sign to the crowd at the insurrection?

Is Sydney Powell now dating The Kracken?

Get the answers to these and many more burning questions at the Congressional Hearings of the J6 Commission, this Wednesday on C-Span, starting at 10 am EST.
