The committee recorded the depositions from hundreds of people, many who told all they know. We will most likely see many of these videotapes during the open hearings. The open hearings are going to be devastating for all those involved in the attempted coup.
The open hearings will dominate the news cycle and many Americans are going to be shocked by what they see and learn. All of us are going to learn things that have not been reported yet.

(7,481 posts)If it had succeeded, a government that seizes power can also take your vehicles, job, home, bank account, put you in prison under false charges, that could lead to executions.
I believe, most people can juggle more than a few concerns, at a time.

I do have hope that some Independents might be swayed from the Republican side, but the Trump supporterswhich is now most of the Republican Partyabsolutely dont care.
