Day One of the January 6th Committee Hearing: If a hit man orders a hit…

Wednesday, July 27, 2021 marked the first day of the January 6, 2020 Capitol Hill insurrection.

Testimonies from four U.S. Capitol police officers offered (beyond) revealing testimony about what they went through the day of January 6, 2021 that left two officers dead, multiple officers wounded and another recovering from a heart attack.

Notwithstanding the facts, and the truth revealed, committee members have the daunting task of deciding how they will proceed to bring forth justice and uphold democracy.

“We don’t know where this ends”, said former prosecuting attorney and Sirius XM radio host, Laura Coates, but “no stone should be left unturned.”

The Committee has an upcoming August recess, however Bennie Thompson has suggested that the committee members should be made aware that they may
