I just saw the first January 6 public hearings will take place on June 9. Republicans will cry this was a politically-motivated investigation (it wasn’t, and they decided not to have an independent one) and that it was done close to election time to gain votes (so what? The party of birtherism and “lock her up” whining about pre-election politics?).
I think it’s great for democrats:
-It’s getting much-needed facts and information about that day so the public can know the truth, and they’d be derelict not to investigate.
-They have a valid excuse of needing to finish because McCarthy has already said the committee will be disbanded if he takes control.
-It’s just an added bonus if it’s a dirty trick ahead of the midterms. It’s not, but let’s just grant the right that it is. Again, they’ve used dirtier tactics many times. Nothing will top “election fraud”.
The good thing about the right’s coverage, if anything, is that it’s predictable, and if I was on the left I’d embrace the outrage Fox will pretend to have at such hearings being close to Election Day.
