Congress To Begin Hearings On The Capital Insurrection.
Congress will begin to hear testimony from people who could shed more light onto the riot that engulfed the Capitol on January 6th. (Politico)
“Lawmakers will get their first chance Tuesday to expose the security failures that allowed rioters to overtake the Capitol on Jan. 6 and threaten the presidential transition of power.
At a rare joint oversight hearing, senators are set to hear from security officials who were on duty when a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters ransacked the building and sent them fleeing for their lives. The story of Jan. 6 has become clearer as hundreds of rioters have faced charges, but high-level decision-making by top congressional security officials has so far remained a black box.”
It may take months and possibly years to untangle the bizarre web of plotters and insiders who aided and abetted the January 6th insurrection. The number of law enforcement and elected representatives who participated in the armed revolt is astonishing and may never completely be known. Many are hiding in the shadows and hoping the public memory of the event fades away and the nation loses interest. That probably will not happen considering the magnitude of the event and the lofty perch on which it stands in America’s psyche.
