As a member of the House Select Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) promised Americans “there’s a great deal they haven’t seen” about the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Schiff joined CBS host Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation on Sunday to tease the committee’s first televised hearing, set to air in prime time this week.
“Our goal is to present the narrative of what happened in this country, how close we came to losing our democracy, what led to that violent attack on the 6th?” Schiff said. “The American people, I think, know a great deal already. They’ve seen a number of bombshells already. There’s a great deal they haven’t seen. But perhaps most important is the public hasn’t seen it woven together, how one thing led to another, how one line of effort to overturn the election led to another and ultimately led to terrible violence, the first non peaceful transfer of power in our history.”
With respect to the Justice Department’s decision not to prosecute former chief of staff Mark Meadows or Dan Scavino for refusing to cooperate with the investigation, Schiff warned that declining to prosecute was “dangerous.”
“They were both involved in campaign matters. They both have documents that they could offer,” he said. “None of this is protected by privilege and the idea that you can simply refuse to show up rather than show up and say as to this question, I’m going to exert a privilege, that just invites others to be in contempt of Congress or be in contempt of judges around the country, in other courtrooms, and I think it’s a very dangerous precedent to set.”

The first hearing will air on Thursday at 8 p.m., and while Schiff offered a lot of hype about the event, he failed to provide much substance, including whom the American audience can expect to see testify.
“Margaret, we’re not commenting on specific witnesses, so I can’t confirm or deny who will appear before us,” Schiff said. “I can say that certainly one of the themes that we will be fleshing out is the — the fact that in advance of the 6th, that there was an understanding of the propensity for violence that day, of the participation of white nationalist groups, of the effect that the continued propagation of this big lie to rile up the country and rile up the president’s base was likely to lead to violence.”
“So you will see that theme among the narratives that will be exhibited during these hearings,” he said. “But as to a particular witness, I really can’t comment.”
What Schiff did reveal, whether intentionally or not, was the real reason for this dog and pony show: Get Independent voters.
While he didn’t say it those words, his meaning was clear. Dems are using a block of prime time network air time to lay out their carefully constructed narrative in the hopes of convincing voters with “an open mind” that the events of January 6 were the worst thing since the Civil War before they head to the polls this November.
“So we want to tell that comprehensive narrative, and we’re aiming at people and audience, frankly, that still has an open mind about these facts,” Schiff said. “We want to counter the continuing propagation of big lies. And that’s– that’s what our goal is.”

This is a terrible thing to do a nation that has a baby formula shortage and extreme food and gas prices. The Dems act like this show is going to be like a Cecil B. DeMille epic. I can imagine that they have their Emmys and Nobel Prize hopes puffed up sky high. I hope the show is more like Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone’s vault. Democrats are excellent at doing a poor job.
Adam Schitt still owns us the evidence he claimed to have proving Trump colluded with Russia to fix the election. He is a lying SOB (Son of a Biden).
For Once this Phucking Idiot is right, There is a lot folks haven’t seen and Thats because they are Hiding The Truth
You bet, when you drag the Poster Girl in front of the committee! LET’S GO BRANDAN! ! WeLoveTrump.com
that is correct there is a lot of evidence that no one will ever be allowed to see about the jan 6th event. it won’t show the fbi involvement and the fact some left wing provocateurs were there.
Who’s going to believe the biggest liar in politics? Certainly not me
Just remember democrats have had a year and a half to let their imaginations run wild, resulting in fabricated evidence, edited videos, and photoshopped pics. Not to mention they instinctively “know exactly” what all those “insurrectionists” were thinking that day, which of course is admissible evidence as far as they’re concerned.
There certainly is a lot to see. The FBI provocateurs stoking people up and Capitol police opening doors and urging/herding people to go in, the despicable racist murder of Ashley Babbitt by black racist coward Michael Leroy Byrd who reports directly to Nancy Pelosi who is responsible for security at the Capitol bldg. and so on, ad infinitum.
What ever a democrat says, believe the opposite.
After all the lying Shifty Schiff has done, I wouldn’t believe a word from his mouth. I want to see all that evidence he had about the Russian collusion. Wonder if he has any on the Russians and Hunter.
Im still waiting to see all Schiff’s evidence he had on the Russian collusion. What a lying POS
I guess he is keeping it all with the great deal of evidence he had against President Trump. Schindler is the one who should be in jail.
As Schiff has frequently lied, under oath, to congress, why is he still allowed to not only hold his seat, but, to not be in jail? Anyone who believes anything that he says has Schiff for brains.
Schiff your past as a pathological liar for political gain proceeds you. Your time will come and it will be you who has endless investigations into your activities. The difference is they wont be fabricated. Soon. Soon. PU.
Schiff is such an immense liar that he should get the Nobel Prize for lying.
He should get a hemp neck tie party.
Yeah, like that it’s a total fraud.
Can’t wait until they expose why Kamala was over at DNC, and who the person was who put timer pipebombs at both the DNC and RNC. Oh wait, wrong channel.
I can imagine……schiftfurbrains has conjured up and edited for effect a whole new batch of lies! adam shiftfurbrains is a russian asset, a china asset, and a pathological liar! Truly a disgrace!
What a lying sack of shit scum bag bastard lowlife snake bug eyed freak
Lie again, schiff. You belong in prison for your past lies and frivolous impeachment’s. One murder Jan. 6. Nancy Pelosi and the black capital policeman are responsible. That comment was rejected by DW. Their community standards are offended by simple proven truths. Censorship at its worst.
Shithead Schiff, enough said.
We’ve been down this road with Schiff before. The man NEVER tells the truth.
IMO, he believes his own lies, and the phony committee set up by his leader. Remember his secret witness? IMO, the last place this man belongs is in our congress.
The democrats are a threat to our to National Security.
