We'll know by his screams how close they come to the truth when his name comes up during the hearings. For a current example, check out what Roger Stone's response was to Jordan Miller's testimony:

If they have evidence that Trump was responsible for January 6, Trump should be arrested. The fact that he hasn’t been arrested tells us all that whatever “proof” they have is probably as reliable as the “proof” they’ve attempted to pawn off the last few times they tried to get him.

The hearings are the modern day version of “bread and circuses,” pushed by the Democrats because they are watching their support from anyone other than hardcore partisans dwindle more rapidly than inflation is rising. The more they focus on Trump while ignoring the disastrous policies they support, the more likely it is that they will be relegated to minority party status for the next decade. That’s already a strong likelihood simply based on the economy, but ignoring the economy in favor of making a production number out of our legal system isn’t doing them any favors.
Sounds like you are ok with wrong-doing as long as the person doesn't get caught red- handed at the crime scene. You don't seem interested in hearing evidence from the people who were in the room.

Opinion. Extra points for spelling bloviate correctly.

Glad you're on board. Patience.

They are in the process of presenting witnesses from Trump's administration, telling the story, under oath.

I believe that most people want to know the truth.

They sure do love talking to the media, yet refuse to do so under oath. I'm seeing a pattern.

It was not Pelosi who blocked the assistance from the National Guard.

Any evidence to support your allegation?

That was 1200 spread across the Capitol Complex. There were somewhere between 195 and 400 actually in the Capitol Building, according to estimates. I have no idea whose estimate to believe on this one.

I’m interested in letting the justice system do its job, not watching a group of people who lied about a man for 5 years lead an “investigation”.

If so, it’s the opinion of the vast majority of people. There are a whole lot more people talking about the issues I listed than about the hearings. My social media is filled with people talking about the economy and illegal immigration, nobody is talking about January 6 other than the few who are known Trump haters.

On board with what? Running the country off a cliff while attempting to distract the masses? Not particularly.

Which should be done by the DOJ, not by a committee appointed by an individual who has no respect for her office, the office of President, or the people of the United States.

Most people want to see their 401k stop tanking, their weekly gas fill up stop costing as much as their car payment, and groceries on the shelf. If they are looking for the truth about January 6, the Democrats are the last place they’ll turn to for it considering the abysmal track record the Democrats have with being honest. The people hung up on the hearings aren’t interested in the truth, they’re interested in confirmation of their beliefs.

You do realize that everything posted on these forums is someone’s opinion, right? Calling out a post as being “opinion” is pointless. And yes, I can spell bloviate correctly despite the fact that my spellcheck wants to change it every time.
