7 questions I want the Jan. 6 committee to answer at its upcoming hearings

[BidenPresident]

1. Who were those members of Congress pleading for pardons from Donald Trump, and what conduct did they think would lead to prosecution?

It’s rare to learn about a member’s possible criminal action and even rarer to have such strong evidence of a guilty mind. And it’s possible there is more than one. The identities of those who sought pardons will certainly shed some light on why Republicans refused to support an independent commission and seek to whitewash the entire coup attempt.

2. When aides repeatedly told President Donald Trump that there was no basis for over

When aides repeatedly told President Donald Trump that there was no basis for overturning the election and no legal way for his vice president to keep him in power, what did Trump say?

We know that in one instance when Justice Department officials explained they could not invalidate the election, Trump responded, according to notes from acting deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue, “Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen.” More comments like that will cement the conclusion that he knew there was no legal basis to overturn the election.
