What would be the best time for Committee to have public hearings?

And for how long for each session?

I suppose they would need to take into consideration the attention span of the American people?

It should not be anti-climatic.

How many times per week should they meet?

Will they call live witnesses?

In my opinion, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays would be the perfect schedule. Preferably, they would be in prime time for about two hours with each session. They should leave each session with people wanting more information. Do not bore your "audience".

At the rate they are moving with witnesses, they may be able to start their public hearings by the middle of May, it seems to me.

It could be the best political television since Watergate, if they plan it correctly.

5. As long as it takes to lay out a complete case.

I heard one of the committee say,” Hearings will start this spring!” That means May

I want it to go on as long as possible. They need to make people understand. Primary season has already started. Trump is coming to Delaware Countty. Biden needs to endorse Tim Ryan. He is working his heart out to workers. Sherrod needs to get out there with him.

Sherrod has endorsed Nan Whaley. Right now I am leaning John Cranley. But either one could go after DeWin. Both need to concentrate on the corruption Republicans have brought to the State House.

6. begin hearings just before GOP primaries.

Continue in phases, culminating with a complete report before general elections.

7. Sorry to disappoint you...

The Jan 6 Hearings will come nowhere close to the Watergate Hearings.

In a world of saturated news coverage and tribal social media, people have made of their minds. Progressives will watch but already know what happened. Trumpists will discount the results as biased and will ignore it.

And most average voters will go about their lives and maybe read a summary in the newspaper.

They certainly will have no impact on the November election.

3 AM as that will be the amount of people who might care about this nothing burger.

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

As an analogy, this whole "January 6th" nonsense is similar to the NFL or NBA draft. A few geeks actually care and obsessively track beforehand, during and afterwards.  The general public simply does not care, not can anything be done to convince people differently.

Brooklynite is right that nobody cares.

I'll just read the recaps on Raw Story - should be good for some laughs.

Though the "reason" he gave is pure DU party-line - We need better messaging - BS. In the real world, I think most Americans - including may Dems - figured out a year ago that the 1/6 Kangaroo Kourt Kommittee was a partisan attempt to Himalayanize an imaginary ant hill.
