Jan 6 Committee Announces A VERY Last Minute Tuesday Hearing

By Red Painter — June 27, 2022

The January 6th Committee just announced that they are holding a hearing to "hear witnesses and present newly-discovered evidence" TOMORROW at 1pm. This urgent and and hastily scheduled hearing is raising a LOT of questions on social media and in the news. No one knows the topic or a witness list. And Congress is on vacation, so having everyone come back to set this up with less than 24 hours notice is really unusual to see in a city like Washington, D.C..

Twitter had a lot of thoughts:

The committee released names of witnesses for *prior* hearings.

They're NOT doing so ahead of tomorrow.

It adds a layer of intrigue and hints at a blockbuster

Not everyone was happy, though. Sorry, Ginger.

Dear @January6thCmte humans:

I was displeased by your decision to hold a surprise hearing which will require my human to leave the house instead of staying home to play with me.

Please try to be more considerate in the future.

Sincerely,

Ginger Breadloaf

I predict a bombshell. This is just too fast for DC politics. Buckle up, buttercup.

We will be running a livestream of the hearing, which begins at 1 PM EDT.
