Of course coordination should not imply something nefarious and if the DoJ or Congress aren't convinced about something they hear from the J6 committee, they need not act on it.
Given the attention span of the viewers/electorate, it is important to not only communicate the narrative of how Jan 6th came about and the actions that led to the inssurection but also what the response is going to be. That is the part that needs to be coordinated. The response could be a combination of DoJ and legislative proposals that will be taken up immediately. Perhaps DoJ/congress need their own prime time slots to explain to the nation how they plan to respond.
I'm afraid without an articulation of the response from DoJ and Congress (or at least how they plan to respond), the hearings will be entertaining for a few days but an exercise in futility.
The hearings are likely to present devastating evidence against Trump and his GOP collaborators. If the evidence pertained to a Dem, the GOP would move heaven and earth to have them indicted. What we see is that the GOP is already poisoning the well. In a sideways admission that the evidence is indeed devastating, Jim Jordan is out there claiming the J6 committee fabricated it.
Didn't the DOJ request all the docs from the hearings? And the reaction from the Committee was tepid at best. They did all the work, and now DOJ wants to swoop in and take it? I don't fear coordination between these two entities. They are cooperating, of course, but not coordinating a la Barr and tRump.
