    McCarthy pulls his choices from Jan. 6 panel after Pelosi rejects GOP Reps. Jordan and Banks

    "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday rejected two of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s choices for the select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio, who supported objections to the election results during the electoral count formalizing President Joe Biden’s victory. In response, McCarthy pulled all five of his proposed appointees, a source familiar with the matter said."

    Not sure McCarthy has the right personality/ disposition for the job. His selection was group that would undermine the investigation............and politicise everything. That is not the objective if one is to examine the events ina factual, logical manner.

    It’s funny you are worried about people “over politicizing” the most over politicized riot of the century
    Thanks for a good laugh

    The perps are being sentenced, and Trump was impeached over it, so the Congress should be working on infrastructure, healthcare, pot, etc real priorities (maybe pot is not a priority). Another investigation is not helping anyone, its just another distraction.

    It isn't an either / or situation. The can do both at the same time. What is a distraction is the comments that people like McCarthy make.

    Of course the other "distraction " is the obstructionism that is now a pattern for the GOP They obstruct for the sake of obstructing.

    Anarchists and Black Nationalists can riot every night for the last year on the left coast. But there's one right wing riot in DC and it's some kind of insurrection they claim. Yeah, right.

    It was a spontaneous event and the House need not investigate it since the Capitol Police already did, unless you're claiming the police failed to investigate.

    I'll give you this much....this event was more heavily investigated than the 9-11 attacks.

    Nancy Polisi wants to manufacture a scenario where it was a planned even and then manufacture links to nefarious groups so that the government can enact more Patriot Laws.

    9/11 was investigated for 4 years and Benghazi was also investigated for 4 years (suddenly stopped after 2016 elections).

    As for Jan 6, I agree it does not require further investigations unless they want to learn if Trump was aware of the plan to attack the Capitol. Other than that, the perps have been arrested and are being sentenced.

    FBI reported to Trump, so its safe to assume Trump knew and possibly gave "stand down" order to LE. Yea, - maybe this needs to be investigated a bit more.

    Would be why he offered thousands of national guard 2 days before but Congress turned them down. The FBI also reports to Congress.

    The Capitol police report to the House and Senate.

    "But your honor, I can't be guilty of robbing that bank - the police know that people rob banks and they weren't there
    to stop me, so how can I be guilty ....".

    Sell it somewhere else, dude.

    Since the Republicans don’t want to participate, just sweep this insurrection under the rug because it hurts them politically, they are going to deserve every sound byte that comes out of this investigation.

    Offered? To who? Why? DC National Guard answers to the president, and they depoly when he tells them to deploy. This is getting more and more suspicious.

    You think left wing conspiracy theories are actionable.

    do you mean like the Kabuki theater of Russia Russia , or the NY atty general digging into historic records of the Trump org in the hopes of finding something?

    Democrats do what Democrats do, and your Democrat vote has consequences; generally bad for the common folk

    Actionable intelligence 3 weeks before 1/6. Why the Capitol was so unprepared is off limits.

    Thanks to your comments, my opinion has gone from "don't investigate" to "investigate". Sounds like Trump knew all about it and did nothing, or even gave "stand down" order.

    Offering thousands of national guard two days before is he did nothing? Not sure how you get there. How about congress doing nothing? The Capitol police report to congress not the WH and top of that food chain is Pelosi.

    Examining the events in a factual and logical manner AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. This has been a political event since the start, and the presence of FBI agents and informants proves that.

    At the moment I cannot think of a single "government investigation" that has been conducted in a factual and logical manner. The Warren Commission was not, and neither was the 911 Commission. Neither was the TWA800 investigation, with the FBI taking the lead over the more qualified NTSB.

    This investigation will achieve two things: it will protect the guilty parties and it will deceive the public. That's what most government 'investigations' do. Perhaps the only exception was the Church Committee.

    Partisans will cover their eyes and plug their ears. They think they can listen with their tongue.

    I asked you who he offered them to and for what purpose, and why he didn't just order them there. You did not answer. The fact that he "offered" makes it clear he knew what was going to happen, and he made a meaningless "offer" so he can cover his own ass later on.
