When will the 1/6 committee hold public hearings?

Does anyone know when the January 6th select committee will hold live public hearings?

Heard it might be after Thanksgiving. Assume they have to do private interviews with all the witnesses to get them on the record first. I know the Watergate select committee took around 6 months to get going.

but legislative accomplishments and publicizing those accomplishments must also be priorities.

Why should they? Certainly not because of a meaningless subpoena by Congress.

Unless the House uses its “Inherent Contempt” authority to detain those who refuse to testify.
