Many think the whole thing will be all for show and to work out the myriad issues Democrats still have with Trump:

This will be a daily I-told-you-so. This stupid #Jan6 committee is wholly unnecessary as multiple investigations steamroll along. This is about #Trump hatred, and it will backfire. https://t.co/oVKfcVokDA

This implied threat by Clyburn will not age well. https://t.co/tEbjWX4WFR

They can’t quit him. They need him to have as much attention as possible. https://t.co/wmd6pF95Sp

Here’s a good closing point:

It's quite possible Trump is "called" to testify. It's also quite possible that by the time a subpoena makes its way through the courts, Republicans will have taken over the House, disbanded the committee, and rescinded the subpoena, rendering it all moot. https://t.co/XNDTsHIF54

The Democrats might not be thinking this through, but most of it is about political narrative anyway.
