The Jan. 6 hearings will hopefully bring accountability for the attack on the U.S. Capitol and those behind it, @mehdirhasan says. But the 1/6 panel must do more than retell the story of the insurrection, he adds — it must show the danger to our democracy didn’t end that day.

Here's what I don't get, I'm a liberal. I've been to plenty of protests & certainly seen them on TV. It looks to me like some of "our" protests have some breaking in & tearing down behaviors. Jan. 6 seems pretty much the same to me. Most seem to have been milling around peaceably

No, the hearings will not do that. Indictments, prosecutions, convictions & sentencing might, but just the hearings won't. So, if the evidence is as great as alleged, when will DoJ initiate the prosecutions? Without that, this is just more theatrics from clown town DC.

It won’t. You have to know it won’t? No objective, reasonable assessment could maintain such hope.

Will go over w/a thud.
