What Republicans really don’t want to see illuminated is not just what happened that awful day, but the forces that produced it — the same forces that still threaten the stability of our democracy.
That’s because they see those forces — the anger and hatred, the rejection of the American system of resolving differences, the celebration of violence as a means of achieving political ends, the way social media has become such a potent instrument to spread and organize extremism — not as problems to be solved but as resources for achieving their own political goals.

Given that the panel are Democrats looking for vengeance, we're going to get a lynching, not the truth or justice out of this charade. That Pelosi has Shitty Schiff running it means, like the impeachments it'll be biased, conspiracy based, delusional, and done largely in secret. Nobody will have their minds changed by the outcome.
opinion pieces are not facts. The number of times you liberals have told this to conservatives is tremendous, yet you try to push one???? talk about hypocrites
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

Sad isn’t it? Politics has never been a love fest. But we are well past simple policy disagreements and on to the desire to almost dehumanize each other. It’s not enough for me to disagree with you but I’m going to paint you as evil, desiring for your death and labeling you as worse than someone of the most heinous people in history.

Exactly. Methinks the women doth protest too much.
What are they trying to hide? We've heard the far right say exactly that regarding all these re-audits. Where's the reciprocity?
You far right morons go do your audits and we'll take care of the Capitol Riot Investigation so America can find the truth in both.
The right has a helluva lot more to lose. And they know it. That's why the RepubliQans are shitting Pine cones. I can't wait for the investigation to start. Heads are gonna roll all over like Jeffrey Dahmer's basement. I'm bringing popcorn.

Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

Dang Spell-check: property=protest
The investigation will find that out. That's why the RepubliQans are so fucking afraid the investigation will go forward. They'll subpoena RepubliQan members of Congress and they'll have to answer questions about Jan 6 under oath.
Can't wait. Bring popcorn.
