I'm sure the Committee is debating about what is the best way to present their investigation?

[kentuck]

There are likely several ideas.

In my opinion, they should present it as much as possible from the perspective of Mike Pence. He was a central figure in the entire scheme to overturn the election. He was the central figure in certifying the electoral votes as to who would be the next President,

Someone suggested Dan Quayle as a surprise witness at the hearings. The only other witness that would be more powerful would be Mike Pence. This is not a comment on the leadership qualities of either man, but more in the interest of the people that need to hear the story.

The story should have a focal point. What was the attempted over-throw of the government about? Who was involved? How were they involved? How many people were leaders in the conspiracy and how many were simply followers?

The story should not make January 6th the focal point, in my opinion. It should be about what led up to January 6th. That is the story.

1. I suspect they made THAT decision some time ago.

[kentuck]

2. Perhaps.

It will be interesting to see how they present it.

3. I'm pretty sure they decided how to do that a long time ago.

[kentuck]

10. I'm pretty sure they are fine-tuning it as we speak.

I doubt they decided how to do it "a long time ago".

4. The insurrection and accountability for the American people.

Lies repeated and words directing someone to commit a crime for personal benefit, has consequences. Rule of law is the bedrock of functioning Democracy. Without accountability for the crimes committed or planned, would be undermining the Republic.

5. Good points!

13. Thanks.

6. Quayle? What does he have to do with any of this??

8. Pence sought Quayle's advice about what to do on January 6.

"Over and over, Pence asked if there was anything he could do.
"'Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,' Quayle told him.
"Pence pressed again.
"'You don't know the position I'm in,' he said, according to the authors.
"'I do know the position you're in,' Quayle responded. 'I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That's all you do. You have no power.'" -- From Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa

7. Ken Burns-style...

9. A number of current J6 members were also involved in the presentations for 2 Impeachments

so they have an idea about "what worked" and maybe "what didn't". I expect they may try to do it as a chronology.

But note that only the first and last ( tentatively- ) scheduled hearings are going to be done "in primetime", so it would not surprise me that the first will be like a "prologue (summary) " and the last will be like a "epilogue (summary) ".

11. By what mechanism would any proven sedition be prosecuted?

I'm worried if no one is prosecuted, it might as well have never happened.

does the J6 committee have to bundle it all up after the hearings and send a package to the DOJ requesting prosecution, have they already done so?

[kentuck]

12. It will take a strong Executive and a strong Justice Department...

Either we have it or we don't.

The last few years have been nothing less than a criminal, Mafia-like environment in the highest office in the land.

14. I think the J6 committee will begin with the footage of the January 6 riot..

and then rewind to the election backstory..the multi-pronged plot to nullify Joe Biden's win, and then move forward to January 6..I'm a big fan of whodunit detective stories...this one promises to be the granddaddy of them all..true crime played out in real time...
