Executive Summary of the January 6th Committee Report: Introductory Material to the Final Report of the Select Committee - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is the top-line findings and principal supporting evidence found in the House Select Committee’s official “Introductory Material” report. It was issued on December 19, 2022, in anticipation of the Final Report’s release December 22, 2022. The committee's summary recounts details of the shocking and deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol building and its occupants on January 6, 2021.

The House Select Committee released this introductory report on December 19. It is entitled in the media (and by the committee itself in its URL of the released PDF) as an "Executive Summary" of the final report. We have used that popular "summary" title itself for this paperback version, but we are not implying this is our independent analysis or summary of the report, other than the addition of Prof. Childress's foreword. This report itself is expressly a summary of the final, later report. The subtitle we use is the nominal title given to the report: "Introductory Material to the Final Report of the Select Committee." This report is available free from public sources but is presented here in book form, using a smaller page-size to ease its use in reading and shelving compared to the memo-sized original. The pagination is maintained. Other than resizing and binding as a book, and addition of the foreword, this is an exact copy of the released introductory report; and we hope it adds value to publish it in a manageable paperback format, rather than an ungainly memo.

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was formed July 1, 2021. It reviewed over a million documents and interviewed over a thousand witnesses. Its multiple hearings produced witnesses and videos revealing behind-the-scenes evidence not publicly known as the world watched in horror the day of the attack.

The Quid Pro edition adds a contemporaneous Foreword by Steven Alan Childress, a senior law professor at Tulane University Law School and coauthor of the three-volume legal treatise Federal Standards of Review. In it, he analyzes the historic import of the report and its criminal referrals, the issue of "bipartisanship," and the evidence-law concept of "hearsay" wrongly used by many critics of the committee's work.
