J6 Committee Hires Another Television Producer To Dramatize Show Trials
The committee’s employment of television news producers to dramatize its proceedings showcases how the partisan probe has approached its work of persecuting political opponents in a public forum absent a legitimate defense. The panel’s series of summer hearings possesses all the hallmarks of the Soviet-era show trials in the 1930s where regime dissidents were dragged before the public courts and declared guilty without fair representation.
In March, Democrats on the committee conceded the panel’s work was all about smearing the political opposition ahead of the November midterms.
“Jan. 6 committee faces a thorny challenge: Persuading the public to care,” headlined The Washington Post in a story that chronicled staffers’ anxieties over making a three-hour riot which happened more than 18 months ago interesting to the broader public.
“Their challenge: Making the public care deeply — and read hundreds of pages more — about an event that happened more than a year ago, and that many Americans feel they already understand,” the Post reported, followed by the passage below (emphasis added):
They’ll attempt to do so this spring through public hearings, along with a potential interim report and a final report that will be published ahead of the November midterms — with the findings likely a key part of the Democrats midterm strategy. They hope their recommendations to prevent another insurrection will be adopted, but also that their work will repel voters from Republicans who they say helped propel the attack.
