    Default So why is McCarthy against a January 6th bipartisan investigation?

    Now what here isn’t bipartisan:

    “The bipartisan proposal calls for a 10-member panel, evenly split between the two parties: Five of them, including the chair, would be appointed by the House speaker and the Senate majority leader; the other five, including the vice chair, would be appointed by the minority leaders of the House and Senate. The commission is tasked with studying the "facts and circumstances of the January 6th attack on the Capitol as well as the influencing factors that may have provoked the attack on our democracy."

    “The commission would also have the power to issue subpoenas to carry out its investigation, but these would require "agreement between the Chair and the Vice Chair or a vote by a majority of Commission members."

    https://www.npr.org/2021/05/18/99783...e-capitol-riot

    McCarthy complains Pelosi’s initial request for a 9/11 style Commission was too political, and has a set of demands he would want included. He then appoints one of his own to reach a bipartisan plan, and when his representative does, satisfying the built of McCarthy’s demands, McCarthy campaigns against it

    Two developments definitely occurred here; one, McCarthy got word from Florida the Messiah definitely didn’t want any investigation bipartisan or not that he couldn’t control, and two, the realization hit McCarthy that he would be subpoenaed as a witness

    Just goes to show that truth and facts aren’t all that important to the MAGA militia and their political representatives

    Its purpose is to demonize and hurt the enemies of the Revolution, not truth or facts.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    The main reason- McCarthy WAS COORDINATING THE ATTACK DIRECTLY WITH DONALD TRUMP AS HE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH DONALD TRUMP ALL DURING THE ATTACK!

    So naturally, he does not want to be a witness in any of the up and coming investigations, as he will be forced with having to testify and answer for his conversations with Donald Trump and other DONALD TRUMP'S White House officials during the melee!

    Lying in a Congressional Hearing will get you impeached- and him telling the truth about him helping coordinate the attack with Trump would also get him impeached!

    I don't think he was coordinating. He was livid that trump wouldn't stop the rioting. During the phone call, trump told him that this is what happens when they don't do their job with respect to overturning the election.


    McCarthy doesn't want to testify against trump. He'll have to commit perjury, or ignore a Congressional subpoena

    Which is one reason McCarthy is against any investigation of January 6th let alone a bipartisan one actually looking for answers

    Because McCarthy would be called as a witness under oath and will have to throw Trump under the bus. That's the sole reason.

    Nothing about Jan. 6 is good for Trump Republicans. They want only to bury it. As loyalists to Trump this is perfectly understandable. As loyalists to the country they degrade themselves.

    The purpose is to get the facts, not demonize anyone. We have investigations by congress in so many things. Remember Watergate, Army Mccarthy, Titanic, Truman investigating waste in army contracting, about 50 on Hillary Clinton? It is easy for a person with firing neurons to understand the worst attack in the American system since the civil war is screaming for sunlight.

    That wont happen because that would not serve the purposes of the Revolution.

    NOT THE SAME COMMISSION!

    IF PEOPLE WANT THE BLM PROTESTS INVESTIGATED- KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT BY STARTING A COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THAT- BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ASSAULT ON THE CAPITOL!
