Schiff says Jan. 6 panel has more revelations for Americans: 'There's a great deal they haven't seen

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a member of the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 uprising, hinted on Sunday there are more revelations in store about the events that led up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, saying a “comprehensive narrative” would be mapped for the first time when the panel holds its first public hearing this week.

Schiff told host Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Americans have already seen “a number of bombshells” come out of the panel’s investigation — but said more surprises would be revealed on Thursday, including a narrative of the events leading up to Jan. 6.

“Our goal is to present the narrative of what happened in this country, how close we came to losing our democracy, what led to the violence,” Schiff said. “Americans I think know a great deal already — they have seen a number of bombshells already [and] there’s a great deal they haven’t seen. But perhaps the most important is the public has not seen it woven together, how one thing led to another.”

The Jan. 6 panel will hold its first public hearing at 8 p.m. on Thursday. It’s unclear exactly who will be testifying publicly, as the committee has not released the names of any witnesses. Chairperson Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) has said up to eight public hearings could be held throughout June as the panel presents the findings of its investigation, which included more than 1,000 interviews.

It's important that they weave it all together. Often, people come to different conclusions when viewing pieces of a puzzle versus the whole puzzle. It's human nature. And I think that when the totality of it is presented, it will be shocking in a new way.

We think we know a lot already, but we've been getting pieces of it here and pieces of it there. We've been seeing a branch here, some leaves there. When it is woven together and we see the whole forest, it will shock people anew.

I remember watching it on TV in real time. I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. I hope theit presentation has the same shock value.

He said they could provide needed testimony and documents. He said this would encourage others not to testify.
