Explain something to me about the 1/6 public hearings

Is this going to be basically a 6 day summation of what they've uncovered? Or are any of these fucks going to have to go before this committee PUBLICLY and answer questions, pre-determined or not, aka. Watergate, Iran Contra, cum stained dresses, Benghazi? I swear, if any of these fuckers get away without testifying in front of the American people this is a farce from hell. I don't need a history teacher explaining to me for 6 days wtf happened. I want to see these fuckers squirm, dodge, lie... show themselves for who they are. All at once, not in 15 DOJ courtroom dramas that will be drug out over 5 or 6 years to the point my fucking dogs are bored. I was under the assumption that much of the testimony was under the guise that the the "defendants" will have to answer and "testify" in front of the American people. If that's not going to happen, or even if they just show video of these fucks being questioned, this is total bullshit and I want my money back from these "lawyers" I paid and voted for to protect my democracy. I hope I'm fucking wrong.

At least for me for awhile I was happy to see crooks testifying, naively giddy about it but then I sobered up and thought about it. It was all behind closed doors. I mean am I missing something here? I thought congressional hearings, unless in matters of national security, were to be held in an open public forum, at least at the behest of the assigned committee. Now that I've come down from my "lock 'em up" irrational high I'm wondering WTF are these 6 days going to entail? This is serious shit. If they are gonna pull out the chalkboard and show us how they've connected the dots, however believable, great. But without somebody's balls being held to the fire under public scrutiny, live public scrutiny, it's gonna be played as a sham. They can have all the evidence they want, all the affidavits they want, but without the physical presence of these fucks live on TV answering the questions none of us are privy too so far, it's a sham. It's a farce in the eyes of the cult. If anything it strengthens their belief in the 12 tablets of cat litter bullshit.

Maybe I'm nuts. My mother made me watch the Watergate hearings when I was 14. I was all over Iran contra hearings, I even bought a VCR to tape them. The cum on the dress shit, who cares, its Slick Willy, but the hearings themselves weren't private.

I missed this in my greed to stomp these fucks out of existence.

I'm elated one minute, deflated the next.

The recurring sinking feeling inside affects daily living.

A big ball of crap it seems. Keeps enlarging.

Obnoxious entities disappear from the scene only to resurface again.

In the midst of all this, I still continue to have 'some' hope...

This is not a trial. The trials will start when Garland starts to indict people who organized the coup.

The totality of an incredible amount of evidence the committee will present to the people will leave no doubt there was a wide spread organized coup to over turn the election and install Trump as a dictator. The committee will share their evidence with Garland.

No one knows everything the committee knows.

This is not a trial, nor do I think it will be used for public questioning. I could be wrong about that (and I hope I am), but we have not heard anything about them scheduling any of the insurrectionist assholes for the public hearings. Again, I could be wrong.

I'd like to see both: a solid presentation juxtaposing the violence with what was going on in the WH at the time, AND I want to see public questioning. I also want to see solid evidence of the recon tours, the planning to overthrow the election from all fronts, which will have to include elector impostors and the phone calls to election officials to "find" 11,000 votes, as well as the bogus lawsuits (all of which they lost) and lawyers being sanctioned for wasting the courts' time. All of that stuff.

They have a TON of stuff to present, and they need to do it in a way that engages the public and clearly shows the conspiracy, which started even before the election in November 2020. It's a HUGE amount of stuff. I'm not sure they have time for all of that AND public questioning in just six sessions in June, especially because anyone they bring forth will stall like hell.
