And for how long for each session?
I suppose they would need to take into consideration the attention span of the American people?
It should not be anti-climatic.
How many times per week should they meet?
Will they call live witnesses?
In my opinion, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays would be the perfect schedule. Preferably, they would be in prime time for about two hours with each session. They should leave each session with people wanting more information. Do not bore your "audience".
At the rate they are moving with witnesses, they may be able to start their public hearings by the middle of May, it seems to me.
It could be the best political television since Watergate, if they plan it correctly.

(17,994 posts)I heard one of the committee say, Hearings will start this spring! That means May
I want it to go on as long as possible. They need to make people understand. Primary season has already started. Trump is coming to Delaware Countty. Biden needs to endorse Tim Ryan. He is working his heart out to workers. Sherrod needs to get out there with him.
Sherrod has endorsed Nan Whaley. Right now I am leaning John Cranley. But either one could go after DeWin. Both need to concentrate on the corruption Republicans have brought to the State House.

(90,367 posts)... massive arrest, charges etc then the hearings are just telling America that water is wet.
In the end telling America that the GZP is bad ...***THEN*** ... not arresting the GZP involved in the coup conspiracy... or charging them before October-ish is useless.
The thing that gives the Hunter Biden 100% complete MAGA Allegation BS is the DOJ is involved.
We need that with J6 bastards who planned and carried

(94,789 posts)The Jan 6 Hearings will come nowhere close to the Watergate Hearings.
In a world of saturated news coverage and tribal social media, people have made of their minds. Progressives will watch but already know what happened. Trumpists will discount the results as biased and will ignore it.
And most average voters will go about their lives and maybe read a summary in the newspaper.
They certainly will have no impact on the November election.

It may not affect the Republican Party as much as we would hope, but it will impact the Democratic turnout, in my opinion. Democrats cannot continue about their business as if nothing happened. It could spell very big trouble.

(35,389 posts)Too much time has gone by. The only people that give a
damn voted for Biden anyway. The Republicans have had 15 months to convince people it is just a witch hunt. We lost January 6th when all the traitors were escorted out of the capital.
