Jan. 6 hearing to provide opening argument, focus on far-right groups

Committee aides sought to temper expectations of any shocking revelations during Thursday’s hearing and instead framed the session as an opening argument.

“[Thursday] night is connecting the dots,” said a second aide. “A lot of this has been reported and bits and pieces of it have been shared. But our aim is to tie all that together in a comprehensive narrative and to show how it’s a pattern that started before the election and went all the way through January 6.”

I keep hearing people say, "Oh, we already know what happened." Yeah, we do. But we've been getting it in bits and pieces. There is something to be said for a comprehensive, coherent narrative that ties all of it together. The brain tends to see the totality a whole lot better than when seeing only bits and pieces. Plus, the committee needs to remind people. It was more than a year ago and people's memories tend to fade. We need to SEE how it started before the election in 2020 and all of the steps along the way to get to where we are today.
