Happy January 6 Committee Hearings Week! Well, maybe not exactly "happy." Starting Thursday, the tale the hearings will tell is sure to be unprecedented and, to all of us who believe in democracy, deeply upsetting. The hearings also need to command America's attention — not easy when the gun debate is raging and we're all bracing ourselves for a brutal June, courtesy of the Supreme Court.
But Liz Cheney gave a sneak preview. Telling CBS that Trump's sedition is a conspiracy, she said, "It is extremely broad. It's extremely well-organized. It's really chilling." By that, we assume she means that it involved all three branches of government. (Clarence and Ginni Thomas, we haven't forgotten about you.)
So we take Cheney and Jamie Raskin, who said the hearings "would blow the roof off the House," at their word. Which makes you wonder why so many Republicans — including our own representative, She Who Will Not Be Named from NY-21 — are eagerly lining up for counter-programming.
It's unimaginable that anyone would rush to defend the traitorous lout Donald Trump, but for some reason they feel captive. Or they're nervous. Or both. Whatever the reason(s), Jennifer Rubin is right: The hearings must be so thorough and shocking that Trump's Republican enablers must "look foolish,
dishonest and malicious." We cats PURR.
