Republicans Can't Stop Congress from Investigating the 1/6 Insurrection, But They're Trying to

Every Way They Can

WASHINGTON — Two.

That’s how many Republicans in the House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to create a select committee that will investigate the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, the worst assault on the heart of American democracy since the War of 1812. The remaining 200-odd House Republicans either voted against the committee or didn’t vote at all.

Six months after the insurrection, the vast majority of Republican lawmakers have decided to treat January 6th as yet another partisan wedge issue or to deny the reality of what happened despite all the evidence to the contrary. In the Senate, Republicans blocked an earlier bill to establish a bipartisan independent commission. Now, in the House, fearful as ever of incurring the wrath of Donald Trump and his followers, Republican leaders fought against a select committee and threatened their own colleagues who might sit on that committee.

But an investigation will happen. The select committee created on Wednesday will hold hearings and produce a final report in the same way that past committees did for Watergate, the Pearl Harbor attack, and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will pick the committee’s 13 members, five of them in consultation with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. On Thursday, Pelosi made good on her suggestion that she might name a Republican member by naming Rep. Liz Cheney, a conservative and vocal Trump critic, to help run the investigation.

republican congresscritters to border for a photo opt, so obviously they are keeping it alive and well.

3. Since we already have a quorum, I hope it starts quickly.

One thing I really really want to know and I hope they probe for it. The officers who were shown to let the insurrectionists in, especially now that many previously unknown entrances (I think the count is up to like 14) were breached, other than the ones who were overwhelmed, what did those officers think would happen? Did they think it was going to be peaceful once the rioters got in? Were they okay with taking hostages and possible murder? How about smearing shit on the walls of the peoples' house? What did they consider victory? Just continuing the Trump presidency even though he lost? Did they just think it was going to be one big party? These guys weren't just guards with a job. They were sworn police officers. You raise your right hand and swear to do the job of protecting these premises and the people in it.
