The Challenge for the January 6 Committee

Playbook: “Committee aides are staying coy on the actual structure of the hearings but told reporters there will be a multimedia component (much like the impeachment hearings in January 2021) with unseen video and audio that the committee has obtained.”

“The biggest challenge for the committee is connecting the dots their investigators have spent months gathering, hoping to make the case to the American people that our constitutional democracy came close to collapsing — and that the threat is not over. Moreover, the committee will need to make that case in a way that breaks through the day-to-day concerns of Americans — ranging from high gas prices to empty formula shelves — and makes them care about an event from a year and a half ago.”
