McCarthy Pulls Republicans From Jan. 6 Committee After Pelosi Snubs Two

[butters]

“Monday evening, the Minority Leader recommended 5 Members to serve on the Select Committee. I have spoken with him this morning about the objections raised about Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan and the impact their appointments may have on the integrity of the investigation. I also informed him that I was prepared to appoint Representatives Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy Nehls, and requested that he recommend two other Members.

“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee.

Fuck em. They're going to put Gym Jordan and Randy Pandy and Pedo Getz on some stupid non-committee committee which will have no power and will basically just be all three throwing a tantrum of review of the day's activities....which probably will just have some OAN news anchor soft-balling questions at them.

Gonna be popcorny fun

Fine. The thinking public knows what the Republican game is on this. The thinking public also watched the coverage live on 6 January. They aren't buying the Republican whitewashing of what happened because they know what they saw.

What they didn't see was the "worst attack on democracy since the Civil War." Nothing that happened on 1/6 can compare to what happened in 1954 when Puerto Rican Communists entered the gallery of the House and actually opened fire on members. Nancy Pelosi and her like are despicable corrupt human beings.

He may have already done it. There is no other need for this hearing than politics. The Senate has already done the same and has issued two reports. The FBI/DOJ have arrested and charged 500 people and prosecutions are underway. Pelosi only wants to insist that Trump is the culprit and he must be politically harmed or killed before the next election. So, let the Democrats do what they will alone, Americans know a setup when they see it.

They had their chance. They walked away.

They don't care about what happened Jan 6 because dear leader doesn't want them to care.

When Nancy starts dictating which Republicans can sit on the committee instead of the Republican leader, it's time to walk away, just like Democrats would if confronted with the same choices.

You do realize, don't you, that after what happened 1/6, a Congressional investigation was inevitable?

That's what they get for walking away two months ago.

Perhaps you missed the headline of the article I posted:


Senate Republicans Block Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Commission
Party leaders including McConnell and Trump had urged colleagues to reject proposal

There's already been two Senate 1/6 investigations and reports, and no democrats or Republicans were kicked off either committee.

Poor dumb klanguide.

The seditious Republicans deserve to be pinned to the wall on this one. People had full access to the events of 6 January in real time. No covering this up.

It's a waste of time. It isn't about getting to the truth. The truth is already known. This is about carrying this hearing on like a circus into next year in order to affect the elections in November.

Fuck off with the "seditious" shit. Total bullshit.

Your Donald Trump was attempting a coup--and you have supported that. You are a traitor.

lol, sure they do..that's why Republicans are easily selling their "it was a tourist visit"

Maybe the four oathkeepers who flipped could testify about their tourist planning.

Are you talking about the election audits?

Until Trump and the 12 other speakers that are guilty of Sedition on January 6th get their day in court it will go on and on.

The Senate failing to establish a JFK assassination/9-11 style commission was in itself damaging to the government.

And for the record they agreed that the commission was necessary - THEY wanted to politicize it by adding some bullshit about alos investigating the pockets of violence over the summer. As if that had any bearing on the events of January 6th. Fucking dopes.

Who has been charged with sedition?

 

[ll74]

Who has been charged with sedition?

There are over 200 people still under investigation..and people have started flipping.

The full list of charges are still TBD and will be for quite a while
