Hey, good morning, Playbookers. I'm Rogum Winovalin. It's Thursday. The January 6th committee

airs what is expected to be its final televised hearing. We'll tell you what to expect.

It's your Politico Playbook Daily Briefing.

Since the very first hearing of the House January 6th Committee, the panel has vowed to do three things.

One, correct the historical record of the aftermath of the 2020 election.

Two, present the case that former President Donald Trump was at the center of a scheme to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

And three, outline an ongoing attack on American democracy.

This afternoon, they're set to tie all three together in what is expected to be the committee's final televised hearing.

As Politico's very own Nicholas Wu and Kyle Cheney write in their preview this morning,

the hearing itself will feature evidence that Trump's allies were

pushing him to declare victory on Election Day 2020, even before the votes were counted,

and that Trump was warned of the unfolding evidence at the Capitol before he tweeted an

inflammatory attack on then Vice President Mike Pence. But if perhaps equal importance,

is the hearing's place in the broader arc of post-insurrection Washington.

If polls hold, it's likely that Republicans will flip the House in November. And if so, they are

almost certain to dismantle the committee come January. That means the panel has less than three months

to finish up its investigation, write and release its final report,

likely sometime in December, and make any legislative recommendations.

As such, today's session marks a transition to a new stage in the quest for accountability

for the insurrection.

One word of work will be confined almost entirely in the legal system.
