Resumen del Editor

The only audiobook of the live Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings, illuminating one of the most shocking days in contemporary American history through the unforgettable testimony and a foreword by lawyer and legal analyst Preet Bharara.

The select committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol gripped the country in ways reminiscent of Watergate or the Clinton Impeachment. From the opening statements by Congressman Bennie Thompson and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, to Cassidy Hutchinson’s riveting surprise testimony, to the vote to subpoena former President Donald J. Trump, the hearings were carefully crafted to tell the story of the day our democracy was put in peril.

The January 6th Tapes is the only audiobook where listeners can hear all 20 hours of unabridged audio recordings – each of the nine public hearings is full of stunning testimony from Trump allies, aides, and lawyers; legal experts; participants in the attacks; and members of the team tasked with protecting the Capitol building that day. It includes a foreword from Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, examining the historical impact of the committee and the hearings, as well as the effect they will have on American democracy.

Hearing the testimony helps all students of history understand the stakes in a way simply not possible from reading the report. As such, The January 6th Tapes is an easily accessible archive providing a lasting chronicle of one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The hearings themselves are filled with riveting testimony and emotional moments that need to be HEARD.… The January 6th committee’s investigation will define history.”—from the foreword by Preet Bharara

Jail the criminal

This was very well done with the commentary. And since I couldn’t watch all of the hearings, I am glad to be able to listen to them.

Jan 6th 2021 was a very dark day in the USA.

May it never happen again.

Day 4

If you listen to nothing else, you MUST listen to Day 4 of the January 6 hearings. This is where Orange Geezus**and Rudy Gooliyawnee personally harass and terrify people for refusing to alter vote counts in AZ "we're all republicans here, why can't you just play ball?" or to simply act as voting officials in counties in GA, only to have their names publicly displayed, first and last name and place where they lived, calling them "election scammers, everyone knows that about them." Not one person is left who had served on elections there after receiving death threats, the FBI warning the mother and daughter from GA to hide until at least the inauguration because they weren't safe, and sure enough, a pack of thugs broke into the GRANDMOTHER'S house to demand the location of daughter and granddaughter for a "citizen's arrest". Do YOU think they would have taken these women to the police station? Yeah, me neither. Please bear in mind that every bit of what they did-the House Speaker in AZ who refused to tamper with vote tallies was branded a pedophile, which seems to be a GQP scapegoat label for anyone who pisses them off-they blasted loudspeakers all over his neighborhood that he was a child molester-a young girl critically ill next door, they didn't care-all because he refused to tamper with the election results. They had huge numbers of pizzas sent to people whose only crime was presiding over voting in counties where he didn't win.
Listen to this, and then tell me that poor excuse for a human has ANY business running around loose, let alone being president **.

Every American should be required to listen to.

For every civics course the younger generation should be able to study these proceedings and learn how our democracy is fragile and allow them to figure out the course to better the American political future.

Good audio quality

It is what it says it is. I will say the audio quality is good.

Edge of your seat worthy

This is very engaging to listen to. Didn't have the time to watch the actual commission report. It gives the insight into the 2020 election and TFG refusal and later acknowledgment that he lost the bid for reelection.

Historical record

Regardless of whatever, it’s great to be able to listen to the entire thing in full.

The day the tangerine Idi Amin tried to destroy American democracy.

Great performance. Excellent intro by preet bharara. I couldn’t catch hearings in full when they aired, and this was a great way to fill the gaps. Burn in hell, Mr. Trump.

Great read

This is a book that everyone needs to read It has the actual Tapes of What the committee finds I enjoyed every minute of it was 1 of those books that was hard to put down wonderful

I wish I could stop listening

I have been listening to this every couple of weeks since it came out. I get angry every time. My favorite is Chairman Benny Thompson, although I admire everyone on the panel and most of the witnesses. My favorite part was Chairman Thompson’s southern accent saying donaltrump. He is never rude but it just seems like donaltrump is a joke. Thank you all for your service!
