How many members of the Jan 6 committee were chosen by the Republican leadership in the House?

They were asked to seat people and McCarthy refused. He boycotted because he knew who was responsible and he did not want to face it. There were 2 Repubs on the committee.

Wrong! McCarthy and the Republicans made their choices, one being Jim Jordan for example, and the Democrats then REFUSED to seat them. That followed by the Republicans refusing to choose alternates in protest of the Democrat's actions. That's when Pelosi chose two Republicans that the Democrats found acceptable to them to be on the committee.

The GOP refused an independent commission. So, the GOP whined after it denied a more independent investigation.

Top Jan. 6 investigator says FBI, other agencies could have done more to repel Capitol mob had they acted on intel

The House Jan. 6 committee concluded that the FBI and other federal security agencies could have prevented a violent mob from overrunning the Capitol had they acted on the large volume of intelligence collected beforehand, the chief investigator told NBC News in an exclusive interview — a judgment the committee left out of its televised hearings and final report.

Former federal prosecutor Tim Heaphy, the committee’s chief investigative counsel, said that while he endorses the panel’s main finding that then-President Donald Trump sparked the riot by urging protesters to go to the Capitol, his probe documented how federal law enforcement failures contributed to the debacle...............

==========================

Oh gee how did the J6 committee forget to mention this? And why did law enforcement like the FBI fail to act upon its intelligence? Probably because they wanted it to happen. That is the reason the provocateurs like Ray Epps, the megaphone guy, and others have never been arrested for their parts in inciting the crowds. Oh and who was ultimately responsible to make sure the Capitol was protected? Nancy Pelosi a person that was politically interested in making Trump and his supporters look bad. And somehow the J6 committee just forgot to report to the public on why law enforcement was caught flat footer on J6. Yes a few of Trump supporters were idiots but keep in mind tens of millions of Trump supporters voted for him and did not riot on J6.

Source.

My accounting of this is that a commission by the House and another by the Senate looked into Jan 6, along with several other agencies before the Jan 6 committee was formed, and that the Jan 6 committee's focus was entirely on getting or framing Trump for that riot. They looked at nothing else.

Jordan is a bomb thrower. He is not a serious politician. They would have accepted a better choice. Mccarthy used powers on the Dems he did not have. So he took his baseball and went home.

No framing was required. Trump organized and called for an insurrection at exactly the same time and down the street from where the certification of the electoral college votes was going on. You do know that, don't you?

Agreed on Jordan. Mostly agreed on Kevin. He got what he wanted; the gavel and his framed portrait in Congress. He effectively sucked the dick of all the Republicans and was happy to swallow. He got what he wanted and is happy to go home. He won't quit but may have let them set him up to be fired whereupon he'd retire or fall back into pre-retirement mode for another term or two in the back row.

He's only 58 now. My guess is Congressional retirement includes post-65 bennies.

It wasn't the Democrat's decision to make. Those were the House rules up until Pelosi and the Democrats decided in a moment of petulance to change them.

There's a lot of bullshit in the air with all the finger-pointing. My main question is this: Where does the Commander in Chief fall into this?

What kind of commander in chief doesn't take responsibility for events on their watch?
