The House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol plans to use video and multimedia elements for its public report later this year.

But those hearings and that report are unlikely to be dense, text-heavy presentations. Instead, video evidence and multimedia elements are expected to be critical to both efforts, according to four people familiar with the ongoing discussions.," one of the people said, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the conduct of former President Donald Trump and his advisers.

One model for the committee's endeavor is the 13-minute video that House impeachment managers presented at the opening ofin February 2021. That video production used dramatic, behind-the-scenes videos taken from cellphones and social media uploads, along with security-camera footage, to illuminate the scope and severity of the violence during the attack on the Capitol.

This wasn't a blip or a protest that got out of hand but a violent insurrection," veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod said."The best way to do that is to share video." "This has dragged out so long," said Republican consultant Ed Rollins, who manages Great America PAC, a pro-Trump group."It needs to be laid out very carefully by the committee because Republicans won't pay any attention if it's an 800-page report, and I do wonder, with the war in Ukraine, if people will care."Thompson recently told reporters that investigators' goal was to wrap up depositions with witnesses by the beginning of April.

by trying to block Congress from certifying the election. That filing also described how a Trump ally, attorney John Eastman, advised Trump to"press an unconstitutional plan" to persuade then Vice President Mike Pence to intervene during the January 6 certification.

In this day in age with all the tools the media have at their finger tips, why is it that we can’t get real reporting from the MSM. Polls show that the public distrust is at an all time high when it comes to MSM. How is this? MSM has failed the public & disgraced the profession.

Nobody cares
