    Default Kevin McCarthy’s picks for the Jan. 6 panel make clear he wants to continue the cover

    Mr. McCarthy on Monday announced his five picks — Jim Jordan of Ohio, Jim Banks of Indiana, Rodney Davis of Illinois, Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota and Troy E. Nehls of Texas — for the 13-member committee. No sooner were the names revealed than Mr. Banks, who would serve as ranking minority member, issued a blistering statement that blasted Democrats, attacked the purpose of the committee and suggested Republicans might use it to attack President Biden. “I will not allow,” he said, “this committee to be turned into a forum for condemning millions of Americans because of their political beliefs.”

    "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."

    Anyone who participated in treason and conspiracies to enable, engage in and promote insurrection against the U.S. Capitol at turning citizens treasonous should be barred from this Jan 6 panel, in particular, these treasonous and un American repukes who have assembled themselves at conspiring in the sewer with tRump to attack the integrity of the intents of this Jan. 6th Committee Panel. Yet I hope their poison will not deter the event of referring any discoveries of any type of sedition, treason and anti government conspires to federal authorities to take action upon and let that be a throw back on the foreign enemy they serve in the gutter.

    Looks like the GOP helped the terrorist attack on the Capitol.

    the only reason Jim Jordan agreed is he was told all the male members of the committee would take showers together and he could watch. he is one sick skeletor....

    Default Capitol attack committee chair vows to investigate Trump: ‘Nothing is off limits’

    Congressman Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the new House select committee to scrutinize the Capitol attack, says he will investigate Donald Trump as part of his inquiry into the events of 6 January – a day he sees as the greatest test to the United States since the civil war.

    In an interview with the Guardian, Thompson said that he is also prepared to depose members of Congress and senior Trump administration officials who might have participated in the insurrection that left five dead and nearly 140 injured.

    “Absolutely,” Thompson said of his intent to pursue a wide-ranging inquiry against the former president and some of his most prominent allies on Capitol Hill. “Nothing is off limits.”

    What does the committee hope to find that we don't already know? Jim Jordan never shuts up.

    Default Trump and McCarthy among top witnesses

    Thompson indicated that Trump and the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, are among the top witnesses for his investigation, in large part because McCarthy was on the phone with the former president as the riot unfolded.

    McCarthy called Trump in a panic as rioters breached the Capitol and begged him to call off his supporters, only for Trump to chastise the top Republican in the House for not doing more to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    You obviously have not been following the FBI investigations and indictments including reports on radio communications during the event, prior preparation and planning, the 128 page Senate report, involvement by (semi)organized groups.....

    What don't you know?
