Every member of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which many conservatives view as a partisan game to blame Republicans and conservatives, had voted to impeach Trump.
Of the nine members on the select committee, seven are Democrats: Reps. Bennie Thompson, Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Elaine Luria; and two are Republicans: Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. All nine of them voted to impeach Trump in January over his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 riot.
The two Republican committee members publicly feuded with Trump during his presidency.
"My vote to impeach was compelled by the oath I swore to the Constitution," Cheney said at the time of Trump's second impeachment, which resulted in her getting censured by the Wyoming Republican Party. Kinzinger also faced backlash – from his own family – over his vote to impeach Trump.
-------------------
I'm certain this was just a coincidence because I remember Nanzi clearly stating this was bi-partisan.
What was I thinking?
These hearings are for Pelosi’s benefit. She was asked twice if she wanted to increase Police presence on Jan. 6 and she declined. It was the lack of leadership on her part that allowed the officers to open the building up to the protesters.
Note to future Republican Speakers of the House: You have the authority to pick all of the committee hearing members. The precedent has been set. Use your authority.
