I think I heard Lawrence say the January 6th hearings wouldn't begin until June?

1. That's what I've been hearing.

[JohnSJ]

2. It keeps moving further and further down the road.

[rownesheck]

13. That's what I've been saying!

Almost like they're not planning on having them at all.

[2naSalit]

3. That's what I heard him ask...

Rep. Raskin who nodded in agreement that it would be early June.

I think it's due to all the new evidence that keeps piling up.

[Hoyt]

4. Yes. Getting close to the midterms. Sure hope they have hard evidence.

[MerryHolidays]

5. K&R to the infinite degree

They are taking it down to the wire. If it is as explosive as I think it might be, perhaps that will help in November.

I do wish they would at least start in May to get the ball rolling.

6. Just Swell

Right at the start of Summer, when everybody will be doing Summer things, meaning they won't be sitting at home glued to their TV sets.

It's all a Dog & Pony Show anyways. Since there is unlikely to be any accountability, I honestly have little interest in getting myself all worked up over whatever EXPLOSIVE information is going to come out.

[JohnSJ]

7. Yeah, I wasn't happy when I heard that also David. I hope I am wrong, but between the DOJ and these

hearings, I think a lot of time has been wasted, and if it every sees the light of day, people will have their thoughts on other things

10. The Watergate hearings were held from the 3rd week in May and through June.

People were glued to their TVs anyhow.

[SoCalDavidS]

11. Watergate Was 50 Years Ago

We're living in a Completely different country from the one that existed in the early 70's. The repubs in Congress actually went to Nixon and told him to resign. Today's repubs were in on the scheme with TFG and couldn't care less.

Not to mention people have more or less spent the last 2 Summers stuck indoors, watching TV, and they're not going to do that this year. I guarantee you that.

[Chicago1980]

12. Lots have changed in the past 50 years.

Including the attention span and critical thinking skills of Americans.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. Raskin's been saying May. Nt

[Bev54]

9. So much new evidence comes in which sends them in new directions

that it keeps getting delayed. Hopefully they will just get this done and before the middle of summer. Want the viewers to be engaged and not on summer holidays.

[SKKY]

14. If they're smart, and thinking strategically, they make sure this is a topic of discussion...

...during the mid-terms. I have actually thought for a while they could probably have started the hearings and referred charges a while ago, but have been playing the long game hoping to keep this in the news through the mid-terms.

[Calista241]

15. Will the two Repubs on the committee sign up for timing close to the midterm?

Cheney has been the de facto public face of the committee, and I’m not sure she’d sign up for what the majority of Repubs would call political sabotage.

Will they see a difference between trying to call out Trump, and attempting to doom their own party right before the election?

[Tickle]

16. Don't they take August off?

That would mean the hearings would only last for June and July. Who pays attention in the summer?

They should start it the Monday after Labor day that way it's going while people are talking about voting in November
