Kevin McCarthy nailing down GOP members for Capitol riot panel as Republicans' defense strategy

comes into view.

CNN Politics
~snipped~
Other elements of the GOP's game plan are beginning to take shape. *Republicans are already casting the investigation as a politically motivated probe that Democrats are just trying to use to damage Trump and the GOP ahead of the midterm elections -- similar to the playbook they deployed during Trump's first impeachment, when they relied heavily on process arguments.

*Though it's okay you see when GQPs try using all kinds of rot to damage Dems. Hay, if your shoe fits... Or that bird, the Foo bird. If the Foo sh*ts, wear it.

This is worse than if the Benghazi consulate had been attacked by a group of Democrats. It will be very hard for the Dems to overplay this. It is very likely that eventually some very bad info is going to come out. Their actions will most likely be driven by the base, which will turn off everyone else.
