As 1/6 Panel Opens, LI Prof. Expects 'Blockbuster Summary' Of Evidence

HEMPSTEAD, NY — After a year-long of interviews and investigation, the public will get to see the Jan. 6 Committee hearings into the Capitol insurrection starting on Thursday night.

James Sample, a constitutional law professor at Hofstra University, was a guest on "Patch AM" previewing what viewers could expect.

"A blockbuster summary and overview of thousands and thousands of hours of testimony, thousands and thousands of pages of documentary evidence and exhibits," Sample said. "To put all of that, not into the raw form, but rather in a narrative form that ties together the multi-layer aspect of this attempt to overthrow the election in 2020."

Sample said one takeaway from the hearings, expected to conclude this summer, is that "those actors were pawns in a larger game, and the end of that larger game was to take the voice of the American people away from the American people and to install Donald Trump as a reelected president, even though the people did not elect him."
