The January 6 committee is racing against the electoral clock
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
On Monday night, the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack at the US Capitol unanimously recommended a pair of criminal contempt referrals for two top aides to then-President Donald Trump who have repeatedly slow-walked requests for their testimony about their actions happened that fateful day.
It's the latest in a whirlwind of activity from the committee. The committee scored a court victory Monday that will allow them access to more than 100 emails sent between January 4-7 by right-wing lawyer John Eastman.
The panel has also expressed interest in talking to conservative activist Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who sent a series of text messages to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows urging him to actively oppose the certification of the 2020 Electoral College vote.

And yet, left largely unsaid -- and un-realized by many -- is that the January 6 committee is racing against the election clock. See, if Republicans retake the House majority come November, they will almost certainly immediately move to disband the committee -- and make it very unlikely that the public ever hears the full extent of its findings.

Hence why Merrick Garland needs to be more actively investigating Jan. 6.
