I guess you must be happy reading about it the next day after the news reporters have added their spin.
I'm going to watch it and make up my own mind. Do I think there will be theater? Of course. That's all these politicians know how to do.
But I want to see what their evidence is that a) President Trump was behind this and b) there was a clear and present danger to our 'democracy.' (I currently don't believe either of these assertions.)

You are kidding, right? All the news networks are running clips of what will be shown tonight. Likely no one knows better than the producer who was hired to put together this charade knows what will be shown tonight. "cut, print...that's a wrap!"

Well said.

Just think. If dems, would work as hard on the economy, as they do trying to make Trump look bad, we'd have cheaper gas, lower prices at the store, more, better jobs, more cash $$$ in your pocket, and the average American would be a lot more prosperous, successful, and happy, for all races, and gender.

Well....do you know of any weapons charges that were filed on any of the people involved?

This is an outright lie. Fox has been mentioning their coverage of tonight's event all day... Perhaps, if you tuned in, you would know that...

No, we wouldn't. Dems have no idea how to improve the economy (hint: get out of the way), how to get cheaper gas, better jobs, or any of the rest of it. These are people who would save the Titanic by drilling more holes in the bottom to let the water out.

Not matter how long and hard they worked at it, they would NEVER improve the economy even a little.

Closed hearings don’t work like that, so nobody who testifies knows what has been said before them.

But you already knew that, didn’t you?

It's all political expediency.

The same people undertaking all of this are the same people tanking our economy and country.

God sees all and will deal with them in His time.
Which is irrelevant.

All that should matter is what actually happened re 1/6. What the truth is.
