Washington (CNN)The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection is planning to produce a multi-media presentation and hire a writer as part of its effort to turn its largely secretive work into a compelling narrative, multiple sources tell CNN.
The online multi-media presentation, which would include links to key video evidence, would be in addition to a traditional written report, according to a source familiar with the committee's work.
Presenting its information in a comprehensive and engaging way will be crucial to creating a convincing argument for potential legislative changes as well as possible criminal referrals.
It's also a recognition of how most people consume information in 2022 -- and the massive amount of video evidence the committee has at its disposal.

"The Muller report is the example of how we don't want it to read," said Raskin.

This could get interesting if they get creative in hiring a writer. They could get a master storyteller like Steven King to do the narrative. Or they could go the Hollywood route and do a compelling, full fledged production.

(15,543 posts)Fascist a-hole Republicans lose as decent, honorable Americans rise up, vote in massive numbers, and with their votes tell the fascist republican grifters sit down and shut up. Can't handle the truth. Lie a lot. Lie systematically. Attempt a violent overthrow of the USA. Fail. Lie a lot. Whine about being losers. Whine that The Law is unfair to them because they are "special." Kiss Putin's fugly butt. Whine. Whine some more.

It seems as if all "justice" is only about is protecting the rich and powerful, regardless of the crime and regardless of the evidence. The prisons are full of purse snatchers, shop lifters and pot dealers, but attempt to steal a country and it is 'no problem" justice has your back.
Everything we are seeing is just theater, now that is where the apparently intend to try the case.

License it to Amazon, Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock, Disney Plus, and all the networks/cable for a nominal cost. Also make it freely available on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter etc after licensing period runs out.
Make sure it is a vetted, balanced account. The truth is bad enough.
