    Ya'll make good points. I don't think it was as corrupt or condemnable as you, and I think the net value output of the investigation and all of the interviews, documents, footage, and analysis is very much important for the historical record, and substantially better than the muddy he-said, she-said beforehand.

      I think you have to examine the context in which this happened, which is a scorched earth effort to destroy Trump as a candidate. No stone was left unturned to try to find something, anything, to prosecute or sue him on, anything to present to make him look bad. There is plenty of reason to assume bad intent. To try to judge the Jan 6 committee's actions as an isolated event is to be one of the blind men and the elephant.

        You can look up the full report here, but just as they showed summary videos of what happened that day, I don't expect anyone will open this link and read through the thousands of pages.

        Here is a summary of what was found by the committee.

        https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/the-key-findings-and-criminal-referrals-from-the-jan-6-committee-report-summary

        Now, whether you or I or anyone else agree or disagree or condemn or simply wish the committee was run in a different matter... ask yourselves this: Prior to the committee, when we just had youtube highlights, and people on both sides claiming different narratives, resulting in a very muddy picture for the historical record... isn't it important to have a mostly-complete investigation and recreation of all of the events, statements, actions prior, during, and after the Capitol attack so that there is at least a chance of history having a clear record of what happened? In that light, I say the committee was very much was worthwhile.

        So, when do we get that?

          I have ever confidence Trump will investigate the attack that absolutely had nothing to do with him.

            It'll be very interesting to see a case by case analysis of the rioters and their punishments.

              I thought that Rep. Johnson, when he became speaker said he was going to release ALL of the Jan 6 footage.

              Has that been done?

                    Where have you seen that? I can’t imagine an organization putting in the time and effort to do that unless the real objective were cherry picking to froth up a subset of the electorate.

                      Trump has said he'd issue pardons for Jan 6 rioters, on a case by case basis. I will be interested to see the microscope put to each of those cases, and I trust the media will oblige me on that. That is assuming he issues any pardons.

                          Some legal types in his admin will go over each of them, and if anything bubbles to the top as an unreasonable punishment, Trump may pardon, and we will all get a deep dive into that particular case.
