7 questions I want the Jan. 6 committee to answer at its upcoming hearings
Jennifer Rubin, Washington Post, 6/12/2022

Jennifer Rubin follows each of these questions with some discussion.

1) Who were those members of Congress pleading for pardons from Donald Trump, and what conduct did they think would lead to prosecution?

2) When aides repeatedly told President Donald Trump that there was no basis for overturning the election and no legal way for his vice president to keep him in power, what did Trump say?

3) What was Vice President Mike Pence doing?

4) How did Trump’s statements and tweets to his supporters promote violence?

5) Why did no one [in Trump's circle] go public or alert the FBI?

6) If virtually everyone else in the White House knew there was no fraud or basis for overturning the election, how did John Eastman’s scheme for a “nonviolent coup” get to Trump and spark this whole series of events?

7) Perhaps the most intriguing question: If White House chief of staff Mark Meadows knew claims of fraud were bogus (“no there there,” as he put it), what was he doing as the plot built momentum?
