Few journalists have followed the January 6 investigation as closely as CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane. Here’s what he’ll be watching for in the committee hearing:
Few journalists have followed the January 6 investigation as closely as CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane, who covered the 2021 attack on the Capitol as a reporter for NBC4 before moving to the national outlet at the beginning of this year.
This is the challenge of a lifetime for a congressional committee. They have a thousand interviews. They’ve got 140,000 records. And they have this limited bandwidth of a few hearings, potentially, in front of an audience that also has an iPad on their lap, a kid on their lap, or dinner on their lap. And they’ve got to convince those people to look up and watch.
Reporters appreciate the challenge of distilling a lot of information into digestible form. I don’t know if it helps the committee or not that so much of their work has already leaked. Do you expect there’ll be meat left on the bone by the time that this hearing airs, that we’re going to learn new stuff?
They’re pretty unequivocal saying it’s materials not seen before. You had one member, Jamie Raskin, say we’re going towith what we’re going to show. So they’re promising. Question is, Are they overpromising? Because yeah, there have been leaks. There’s been good enterprise reporting. What I found most striking is that they showed some of their cards in their civil court filings: They showed some of what they had to go to federal court in California and try to get more from John Eastman.
In the civil case brought against them by Mark Meadows, they released text messages sent to Mark Meadows by key figures: Donald Trump Jr., Fox News hosts, other members of Congress, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry. So they’ve shown some of their cards through the court filings. So I’m going to be interested as anybody to see what’s new come Thursday.. What are you most keen to hear about?

History As It Happens: Dred Scott, the Worst Ruling EverThe U.S. Supreme Court, one of our bedrock judicial institutions, has been on the wrong side of history time and again. But as the arbiter of the Constitution, the Supreme Court is indispensable to the functioning of democracy. In this episode, esteemed constitutional scholar Akhil Amar discusses some of the court's most notorious rulings, starting with Dred Scott in 1857. And as the current court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, Amar draws parallels between Roe and Dred Scott that explain why the robed justices have never been beyond the reach of criticism for, in the eyes of the critics, botching the Constitution.
