First they complained about the makeup of the commission.........

[berg80]

.........which was BS since Dems agreed to a 9/11 style commission.

WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Tuesday voiced opposition to legislation to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

In a lengthy statement a day before the House is set to vote on the measure, McCarthy complained about the negotiations, argued that multiple investigations into the riot already exist and said he wants the panel to also look into other instances of violence.

The legislation is the product of a compromise announced Friday by the top Democrat and Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and John Katko, R-N.Y., who reached a deal on the guidelines for the panel to model it after the 9/11 Commission.

The House is set to vote on the measure to create the panel Wednesday. McCarthy argued that multiple investigations into the riot already exist.

Then they claimed no one was paying attention, which is self-evidently absurd since the revelations from the hearings have consistently been stunning front page news and the talk of the board.

Then they claimed the hearings were one sided despite the fact that the witnesses who theoretically would be presenting the Trumpian point of view refused to testify for fear of self incrimination and or to protect the Orange Insurrectionist.

Then they claimed the hearings lacked due process. Well, yeah, they are hearings, not a legal proceeding. The evidentiary standards are not the same as in a court case. Anyone who is indicted will have an opportunity to defend themselves in court. Everyone understands that except Trumpleton's.

Then they claimed it was all hearsay even though the irrefutable fact is that witness testimony has corroborated the evidence, and the testimony of other witnesses, not disputed it.

What next? How about Liz Cheney wears Army boots. Yeah but.........Hillary. Inflation! Hey......squirrel.

When they denied the Republicans their choice of who sits on the panel, they removed any legitimacy the panel had.

The Dems didn't agree to shit, they dictated their terms.

McCarthy proposed members who were potential witnesses and compromised

There were 212 other Republican Congress members available to serve. McCarthy forbid them to serve on the panel.

Excuses excuses.

They wanted a partisan shitshow, and they got one.

 

[berg80]

The Dems didn't agree to shit

That is a demonstrable lie. McCarthy assigned Rep. John Katko to negotiate terms with the Dems. After an agreement was reached Kevin sabotaged the compromise. His plan all along was to create the conditions by which he could claim the committee wasn't fair.

The thing is if you look at the way the committee has conducted itself there is no legitimate claim of a lack of fairness. Their work has been exemplary.

Their work has been a partisan dog and pony show.

you can't use the term "potential" and "fact" at the same time in this situation.

You are a hack, Dems are hack, the panel is a reichstag fire investigation.

So let's see, McCarthy wanted to negotiate terms, the demofks said no, And your point is?

We know that demofks don't play fairly. That's why we know the election was stolen, no way 80 million sane humans voted for xiden when that many didn't vote for the first black man. So silly.

the OP is demofk. Tell your peers to stop

 

[Dragonlady]

The Dems didn't agree to shit, they dictated their terms.

Bullshit. Two of the people they wanted to seat on the panel were involved in the planning of the insurrection. It's like inviting the arsonists to investigate the causes of the fire. They're not going to stand up and say "I did it", now are they?

They also indicated that they had made up their minds about the causes of the violence. It was Nancy Pelosi's fault.

The purpose of the Commission isn't to provide cover for the criminals, it's to find out what happened. McCarthy's picks were to be seated for the sole purpose of derailing the investigation. No fucking way!

 

[jc456]

McCarthy proposed members who were potential witnesses and therefore compromised. Fact.

the logic you use is extraordinary, I must say. You've been listening to George Carlin far too long.

 

[Burgermeister]

You have to be a real moron not to see what a sham that Jan 6 crap is.

Democrats negotiated with McCarthy's rep and gave him everything he asked for. Then McCarthy talked to Donald Trump, and suddenly McCarthy said "No" to everything he wanted and walked away.

It seems Trump now regrets that mistake, but like every bad decision Trump has made since he was elected, it's too late to change things now.

and everyone in the panel was the victim. so you have the victims controlling the kangaroo court. Cause that's within the demofk guidelines right?

You don't use any logic at all so your comment is both stupid and pointless.
