J6 Committee acknowledges election-year publicity stunt with show trials
Key Members of January 6th Committee Admit Operation Was a Publicity Stunt
In a new PBS documentary, key members of the now-disbanded Select Committee on January 6th reveal that the entire operation was nothing more than an election-year publicity stunt. The documentary, titled “Democracy on Trial,” sheds light on the committee’s work and exposes the orchestrated nature of their public performances.
The committee’s goal was not just to investigate the events of January 6th but also to captivate the American people with compelling storytelling. They wanted to present their findings in a way that would resonate with the public and leave a lasting impact.
“The one thing that we knew was the information that we have is compelling,” said Illinois congressman-turned CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger. “The thing we needed to do was tell that to the American people in a compelling way.”
The committee enlisted the help of former ABC News President James Goldston to produce their hearings, turning them into a captivating miniseries. Goldston’s expertise in storytelling for a mass audience proved to be fruitful, as he envisioned the hearings as a series of episodes tackling specific themes.
Despite their efforts to create a gripping show trial, the committee faced challenges in persuading the public to care. Their first episode received dismal ratings, and even free ice cream watch parties couldn’t generate enough interest. However, the committee’s investigation remained central to the Democratic Party’s plans to maintain their majority in the upcoming midterms.
The committee eventually became the legacy project for Liz Cheney, who served as vice chair. However, Cheney’s bid for re-election ended in failure, and she published a memoir reflecting on the committee’s tactics to boost Democrats’ electoral prospects.
What are the potential implications of the revelation that the Select Committee on January 6th was primarily a publicity stunt for the integrity of future investigations and public opinion
Key Members of January 6th Committee Admit Operation Was a Publicity Stunt
In a new PBS documentary, it has been revealed that key members of the now-disbanded Select Committee on January 6th have admitted that the entire operation was nothing more than an election-year publicity stunt. The documentary, titled “Democracy on Trial,” sheds light on the committee’s work and exposes the orchestrated nature of their public performances.
While the committee’s ostensible goal was to investigate the events of January 6th, it appears that their true objective was to captivate the American people with compelling storytelling. They wanted to present their findings in a way that would resonate with the public and leave a lasting impact.
One of the committee’s members, Illinois congressman-turned CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger, admitted, “The one thing that we knew was the information that we have is compelling. The thing we needed to do was tell that to the American people in a compelling way.” This statement clearly reflects their intention to create a narrative designed to sway public opinion.
To ensure that their hearings were transformed into something more than lengthy congressional proceedings, the committee enlisted the help of former ABC News President James Goldston to produce their hearings, turning them into a captivating miniseries. Goldston’s expertise in storytelling for a mass audience proved to be fruitful, as he envisioned the hearings as a series of episodes tackling specific themes.

The committee eventually became the legacy project for Liz Cheney, who served as vice-chair. However, Cheney’s bid for re-election ended in failure, and she published a memoir reflecting on the committee’s tactics to boost Democrats’ electoral prospects. This further emphasizes the political nature and motivations behind the committee’s actions.
The revelation that the Select Committee on January 6th was, in fact, a publicity stunt raises serious questions about the integrity and purpose of such investigations. While there is a legitimate need to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable, using the process for political gains undermines the credibility of the entire endeavor.
This new information casts doubt on the objectivity and impartiality of the committee’s work. It highlights the need for a deeper examination of their findings and raises concerns about the potential manipulation of public opinion for political purposes.
As citizens and voters, it is essential that we critically analyze the information presented to us and question the motivations behind it. While the events of January 6th undoubtedly warrant a thorough investigation, it is crucial that this investigation remains focused on the pursuit of truth rather than becoming a tool for political posturing.
The revelation of the Select Committee’s true intentions serves as a reminder that we must remain vigilant and not allow the quest for power to undermine our democratic processes. We must hold our elected officials accountable and demand transparency, honesty, and a genuine dedication to truth-seeking in all matters that impact our nation. Only then can we ensure that our democracy remains strong and resilient.
