Does anyone still believe this committee is actually going to do anything more than make it harder for Dems to win in the midterms?

America is a nation of laws. On January 6, multiple crimes were committed by Donald Trump as well as multiple Republican lawmakers who met multiple times in conspiracy to subvert the constitutionally mandated counting of electors. If we ignore the fact that the President of the United States enlisted the help of lawmakers and his Vice President to subvert the Constitution of the United States and when he refused put the VP's life in danger by the angry mob he assembled and incited, then what?

Trump likes to repeat ad nauseam his bullshit assertion that without walls, we don't have a country. Trump is close but nevertheless incorrect: Without laws, we're a third world shithole. Ignore this at your own peril and a death blow to democracy.

I was not kidding when I referred to Donald Trump as "the biggest threat to our country coming not from without, but from within.

I hear that a lot now. About time too.

Subpoena the White House records on January 6 and get busy calling the witnesses beginning with Minority Leader McCarthy, a fact witness doing everything he can to obstruct the investigation.

Of course, I'll be very happy to be proven wrong. Ahem.

for me, that's enough to put him on the valid side of the ledger. jordan and banks, however, both seem to continue to have a bias against finding out anything resembling the truth.

agree, the committee's findings are highly unlikely to impact the election either way.

Elizabeth don't you think that if this was REALLY TRUE then all Republicans would be IN FAVOR of the committee and not HELL BENT AGAINST IT, even to the point of opposing the ORIGINAL BIPARTISAN investigation proposal?

I think this committee is going to find out a whole lot of stuff that some people want kept swept under the rug, Including PARTICIPATION BY CURRENT SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS in the insurrection that took place! Don't you think that is at least worth the public knowing about????

Dems will win or lose in the midterms almost entirely because of what they do or don't do on: A) how well the economy is doing, B) what they manage to pass legislatively, (showing voters it was worth coming out and voting for them in the first place, because it MADE A DIFFERENCE and got things ACCOMPLISHED, instead of the old NOTHING EVER CHANGES SO WHY BOTHER mentality - Republicans and Democrats are all the same, etc.) and C) how hard they fight back and overcome voting restrictions and partisan manipulation of vote counting and certification by Republicans.

The committee's hearings, investigations and findings won't make one single difference to Dems chances of winning, unless there is a bombshell criminal indictment of sitting Republican members of Congress because of it.
