Why is that Kevin? Afraid the truth is going to come out on how you were privy to the intel before the January 6th insurrection?

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday broke his silence on the bipartisan Jan. 6 commission proposal negotiated by one of his key lieutenants, saying in a new statement that a new commission would be "duplicative" of federal law enforcement efforts and "potentially counterproductive."
While the proposed panel would give both parties equal representation in appointees to the commission and require bipartisan agreement for subpoenas, McCarthy said he wants the effort to expressly include a review of "political violence" in American cities last summer amid racial justice protests.
But Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., said the panel could decide to investigate or review such episodes if the appointees agreed to do so, even if not explicitly stated in the legislation.

(82,849 posts)Equal representation on the panel and no subpoenas issued that did not have majority support. As long as the Republicans hung together, the panel wouldn't and couldn't do anything. So after bargaining away their power as the majority party, the Democrats again had the football whisked away. It's depressing that this continues to happen, and that Democrats don't appear to really, truly believe in "majority rules."
On the other hand, it appears that the Minority Leader doesn't trust the members of his caucus to stand united against anything the Democrats support.

He pissed his pants on the floor of the house right after, and lay the blame at TFG's feet.
Fuck him.
