Analysis: When hearings had the power to change history
On Thursday and in weeks of subsequent hearings the panel is under fierce pressure to establish the depth of Trump's apparent conspiracy. Its work so far suggests it plans to prove that the attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob was not simply a rally that got out of hand but was the culmination of weeks of chicanery to subvert a free election by a President who called a crowd to Washington and incited an uprising against the American experiment itself.
The committee is racing against the clock, since Republicans who are whitewashing Trump's role as they seek to win back the House in midterm elections are sure to end its investigation.

In the U.S. neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have a monopoly on truth, goodness, and the American way. A half year before the mid-term elections the Democrats are scrambling to reprise the material they made public during Trump's second impeachment.

The House select committee on the Capitol insurrection has a duty far beyond investigating one of the most traumatic days in US history. Its wider mission is to expose and catalog an assault on democracy that is still going on.
