If the committee has actually secured cooperation from members of the Proud Boys or other extremist groups, the country is about to be given a guided tour through a terrifying realm many never knew existed.
In the days before the 1/6 Select Committee opened its hearings on the Capitol attack, the airwaves were filled with the usual cynical, desultory baby-nihilism that rises along with anything worth hoping for these days. Will anyone watch? Will thewatch? Will it make any difference? The pre-game answers, in the main, were no, no way and hell no, not necessarily in that order.
A significant portion of the Tuesday hearing appears to be focused on the tweet heard round the world — Trump’s invitation to the “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” — and how various right-wing extremist groups reacted to it. This is profoundly significant; with this, the committee seeks to show Trump as more than merely a giddy bystander to the mayhem, and as a central instigator of the subsequent violence.
It goes without saying that the gold standard for these hearings was set by former White House Aide Cassidy Hutchinson, whose measured yet devastating testimony turned the country on its ear. Worthy of note: Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel, the two Trump alliesof a violently unhinged Trump attacking his security detail on 1/6, have yet to make a peep under oath regarding their claims. There appears to be no effort underway to make that happen.
