The reality of the Jan 6 Committee is...
..a possible fizzle. I for one, have been betting big on it exposing Trump and cohorts for what they are, maybe leading to some indictments. And I suppose that's a possible eventuality, but...
"For many Americans, the idea that a congressional committee formed to investigate a violent attack on the seat of American power might simply be shut down before it’s been allowed to complete its investigation might seem baffling...There have been a number of probes that have extended over periods of years...Those, however, were not congressional probes. ..If the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack ran for an equivalent period, it would end in late March 2023. But the Jan. 6 committee is unlikely to finish at that point for two reasons: willful efforts to slow its work by the witnesses it hopes to interview and the likely prospect that Republicans could retake the House in January 2023."
"The Jan. 6 committee faces active and hostile opposition from most of one of the United States’ two major political parties. It faces a barrage of public opposition from a former president and constant efforts from potential witnesses to prevent it from uncovering what occurred in the weeks before the riot. But most of all, it faces a likely termination date of on or around Jan. 3, 2023.
To the extent that Trump and his allies can waste time until then, they will."

Committee members seem to think they will prevail...maybe they know something we don't.
