WASHINGTON — “This is my Super Bowl,” a news anchor said off camera during the public hearings held by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. But what is a Super Bowl without any stars, or even fans, I thought. Former President Donald J. Trump and his family certainly would not show up in person. Neither would Rudolph W. Giuliani, once his personal lawyer and the former New York City mayor, nor any others who would be recognizable to anyone but a politics major.
And unlike the defamation trial last month involving Johnny Depp and his former wife, Amber Heard — in which the public’s passion for salacious celebrity gossip was unmistakable — avid followers did not appear to be lined up to cheer or protest.
