Opinion: Pelosi must not let Kevin McCarthy’s cynical gambit spoil the Jan. 6 investigation

Opinion by the Editorial Board
Yesterday at 5:31 p.m. EDT

Because of how the committee was created, Ms. Pelosi will have final say on its membership. Her appointments — including Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Democratic Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (Miss.), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee who will lead the panel — reflected a real seriousness of purpose. In contrast, Mr. McCarthy’s choices seem solely designed to make a circus of the proceedings. Ringleader, of course, would be Mr. Jordan, a persistent if not terribly skillful disrupter and provocateur. Mr. Jordan, Mr. Banks and Mr. Nehls all voted against certifying the results of the election despite the absence of voter fraud or major irregularities. Their complicity in feeding Mr. Trump’s lie about a stolen election is not compatible with any dispassionate investigation of the day’s events.

I suppose McCarthy can now instigate a showdown and create a clown show where he thinks he can spend the next couple weeks cycling through a list of the worst of the seditionist loons, one by one, including the likes of Brooks, Gosar, Nunes, etc. If he did do that, Pelosi should cut it off and go with what she has.
