GOP to run their own Capital Riot investigation

“Unless Speaker Pelosi reverses course and seats all five Republican nominees, Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the GOP will conduct their own investigation into the January 6th Capitol Hill riot unless Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi changes her mind on two representatives she rejected from the committee. Pelosi rejected Republicans Reps. Jim Banks and Jim Jordan. Both men are supporters of former President Donald Trump. The House resolution to create a select committee gave Pelosi the power to appoint people to the committee. She has to consult McCarthy, but she has the “final veto power over the members.”

This seems more than fair. After all this is not going to be any sort of bi-partisan affair and the end result will be about finger pointing. I have less confidence that I will actually learn anything from a Democratic run investigation than a Republican run one. After all, we pretty much already know what the Democratic report will look like. We have already seen the allegations, hyperbole, and political rhetoric from the left.

But I would be seriously interested in the findings of a McCarthy led investigation. We might actually find out something we already didn't know and we might actually get to the bottom of why the calls for more security were rejected and who rejected them. (Hint - it wasn't the President).  The issue here is not to make some sort of political statement or demonize anyone. The issue here is why wasn't security ready and why was the security we had so quick to break down.

Oh... and we need to know just a tiny bit more about the killing of an unarmed protester. I doubt that is at the top of Pelosi's list.

Ashli Babbitt's murderer remains on the loose, there's 14,000 hours of video yet to be released and reviewed, and the nature of the FBI's involvement (read set-up) remains unknown.

Let's start there.

Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Initial claims were 419,000 for the week ending 7/17 (+51,000)"

Biden is a disinformation spreader.

Doesn't seems like anyone is paying attention.

Initial Claims off by 51,000?


Looks like the BLS is spreading disinformation. Hopefully Facebook and Twitter wills suspend those accounts.

Yep, the Republicans hold a very strong hand in a "game" the democrats have way overplayed.

As have the press

I bet Nancy is shitting bricks and wondering how she will avoid her lapses being amplified

The state media and big tech will have to work overtime.

And lie more than ever.

Well, if it turns out to be a purely Democrat-led investigation, let's just see what is uncovered as witnesses are subpoenoed and heard.

Afraid of something?

I might ask that question of Nancy Pelosi who apparently is afraid to have people of different opinion on the investigation.

Pelosi shot her diaper when she ham handed people off the committee.

She agree Republicans could pick their own people, she didn't say with her approval.
