Ray Epps is the door by which we find out what really happened January 6th 2020.
And why is it that there are not one but two investigative reports on Ray Epps Part 1 and Part 2.
Imagine now what happens when the Republicans take over the senate and Senator Ron Johnson, ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will be formulating all the information on Ray Epps and why he's so important about what happened 1/6/20.

For a nice view of the judicial power of this "select committee" a la McCarthy-esque powers that have already been appropriately dealt with by the SCOTUS as being unjust and illegal, here is a quote from this article from American Thinker. So why is the Democratic party able to get away with this illegal operation?
What Congress is barred from doing, as two McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases ruled, is exactly what the 1/6 committee is now doing: conducting a separate, parallel criminal investigation in order to uncover political crimes committed by private citizens. Such powers are dangerous precisely because Congress’s investigative powers are not subject to the same safeguards as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. And just as was true of the 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) that prompted those Supreme Court rulings, the 1/6 committee is not confining its invasive investigative activities to executive branch officials or even citizens who engaged in violence or other illegality on January 6, but instead is investigating anyone and everyone who exercised their Constitutional rights to express views about and organize protests over their belief that the 2020 presidential election contained fraud. Indeed, the committee's initial targets appear to be taken from the list of those who applied for protest permits in Washington: a perfectly legal, indeed constitutionally protected, act.
This abuse of power is not merely abstract. The Congressional 1/6 Committee has been secretly obtaining private information about American citizens en masse: telephone records, email logs, internet and browsing history, and banking transactions. And it has done so without any limitations or safeguards: no judicial oversight, no need for warrants, no legal limitations of any kind.
Indeed, the committee has been purposely attempting to prevent citizens who are the targets of their investigative orders to have any opportunity to contest the legality of this behavior in court.
