In the first place, the “opportunity lost” was because the Republicans killed the bipartisan commission he’s swooning over. Then McCarthy insisted on naming attack dogs to the House Committee.

And he could easily have invoked executive privilege on any questions about deliberations in the White House.

What a sleaze.

I don’t think Jane Tapper will press him on it, or on anything really difficult. It seems to me that Tapper has made his decision to get along with the new power structure at CNN.

That's been my take as well. Still, Town Hall -doesn't that mean the people in the audience get to ask questions? I don't watch enough of these to know how they're structured.

I think audience questions are included. I wonder though, about how the questions and/or the questioners are “vetted”.

About the Adam Kinzinger interview with Nicole Wallace today, so far the only link I can find is the general one up at her website.

NEW: The Jan. 6 committee had its final planned interview today and now turns to unfinished business. Chairman Thompson tells me potential perjury referrals will be among its final considerations.

For who? “Stay tuned.”

The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection is considering criminal referrals for at least four individuals in addition to former President Donald Trump, multiple sources told CNN.

The panel is weighing criminal referrals for former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, right wing lawyer John Eastman, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the sources said.

The committee has not officially decided whom to refer to the Justice Department for prosecution and for what offenses, sources said. The four individuals who are among those under consideration, and whose names have not been previously reported, provide a window into the panel’s deliberations.

While the criminal referrals would largely be symbolic in nature – as the DOJ has already undertaken a sprawling investigation into the US Capitol attack and efforts to overturn the 2020 election – committee members have stressed that the move serves as a way to document their views for the record.

A spokesperson for the January 6 committee declined to comment.

I disagree. Having a criminal referral from a bipartisan Congressional Committee certainly gives DoJ cover from any cries of political prosecution. Notwithstanding that what's left of the Republican Party doesn't consider them to be real Republicans.

In addition, too, also, could not the Select Committee have additional ebidence that would corroborate, confirm, or otherwise augment ebidence that the DOJ already has?

I think it is good to have a little something extra in one's pocket for the unexpected. (Excuse me while I tighten my belt and adjust my suspenders.)

What the Jan. 6 select committee’s final report will look like
A large executive summary describes former President Donald Trump’s culpability for his extensive and baseless effort to subvert the 2020 election, according to people briefed on its contents.
One more week :waiting:

Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, told reporters the committee will hold its final public meeting on Monday and that the panel’s full report will come out December 21.

Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, said the committee will approve the panel’s final report on December 19 and make announcements about criminal referrals to the Justice Department, but the public will not see the final report until two days later.

“We will do all of the business of the committee on the 19th,” Thompson said, which includes voting on the final report.

MORE: Chairman Thompson says the select committee will have what is likely to be its final meeting (to vote on its report and referrals) at 1 pm on *Dec. 19*

, who tells reporters they're trying to get their report to the printer by noon today, referrals are "done" and we'll get just about everything on Monday - just probably not transcripts, etc.
