Absolutely right that it's the smart move as far as the two she rejected. It is exactly what most people in the United States wanted done. These two clowns were part of the insurrection. Pelosi could have appointed all members of the commission herself. Popular support is behind giving these seditious clowns called Republicans even less regard than she has. Rejection them was what real Americans want.

They don't fit into her vision of a real communist "people's Court."

The GOP gave her this ability when they went down this route. No surprise here.

They've never done the same to democrat members.

100% correct. They begged for it.

Who cares?

I don't care if you lie, but I reserve the right to call it out when I feel like it.

You still believe Trump won the election.

Awesome for you.

Benghazi hearings was the last straw for me giving a shit about norms.

Democrats gave the GOP a chance to an independent and completely bipartisan committee and the GOP said no.

They get what they deserve because they gave away a chance for something different.

Jordan’s a bomb thrower who has no interest in governing or getting at the truth. That’s why McCarthy chose him and why Pelosi correctly rejected him.

Why would they?

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

If her goal was to demonstrate that her commission is purely partisan theater, it was brilliant. McCarthy wasted no time accepting the gift and might even reciprocate with a small degree of compassion for her in the increasingly likely event that she has to hand the speakers gavel to over to him next year.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

She did the right thing. They didnt want the truth to come out, their loyalty is to trump, not the US&A.

The GOP made their position clear when they refused to vote for a bipartisan joint committee.

This is what they asked for and this is what they got.

"There's one fundamental question that I hope Democrats will actually answer and address and that is why wasn't there a proper security presence that day? And frankly, only the speaker can answer that question, so let's see if the Democrats bring that up," Jordan said Tuesday.

Yeah - Jan 6 was Pelosi's fault

Jordan is a hack that has demonstrated reckless disregard for the truth and still spouts the Big Lie. He does not even belong in Congress let alone this committee.

Good for Pelosi for telling him to fuck right off.

Liz Cheney is the only sane one in the GOP on this issue and makes the commission bipartisan.

That's a lie, flat out.

We already know the answer.

Jordan is a sleaze who deserves to get his ass handed to him.

Liz Cheney will be center stage as the STAR of the BIPARTISAN House investigation.

Unsurprisingly, she has more courage than Kevin McCarthy, and is willing to look at the evidence without fear, even if it means calling some republicans still serving in congress insurrectionists and traitors.

Kudos to Liz Cheney in this instance.

Dude. They broke into the Capital, chanted they were going to murder the vice president, smeared shit on the walls, stole computers...and most Republicans have responded by either lying about it (it was Antifa in disguise!) or trivializing the threat ("they were just tourists"). If that's how they're going to address what happened, they don't get to complain when the speaker of the house doesn't give them everything they want. Live with it.

 

[KeithD]

Liz Cheney came up with the definitive reason why Jim Jordan wasn't accepted to the commission. He helped plan the attempted coup. He is a target for a prison sentence for sedition.
