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

[Winco]

I give a shit what you think.

I know you do.

 

[Winco]

And Repub voters have been lied to time after time.

I understand your frustration.
When are you going to demand that trump stops lying.
No election was stolen, stop lying trump.
I'm sorry that trump has lied to you.

 

[jc456]

Yes, Pelosi denied two, Jordan and Banks, both subjects of the investigation.
I'm sorry you don't understand how this works.

well she and her fellow reps were all victims and must recuse themselves from this. So how can they have a hearing as the questioners? You know that's illegal right?

 

[jc456]

I understand your frustration.
When are you going to demand that trump stops lying.
No election was stolen, stop lying trump.
I'm sorry that trump has lied to you.

I'm sorry that trump has lied to you.

I believe in the United States being a sovereign nation. Language, borders and culture. Our politicians have sold us out to globalism. We pay more and more through taxation for ways of living. When the system reduces enough, the poverty will expand.

 

[jc456]

I know you do.

who do you think you are that I should?

victims running a hearing is illegal. Every court in the land will have to throw any evidence out.

 

[berg80]

They denied seats to the people the Republicans picked.

Their work has been a partisan dog and pony show.

You keep avoiding the reason 2 of the Repubs McCarthy named were rejected. The others were not. Furthermore, you can't substantiate your claim of a dog and pony show. It has been the opposite. Which is why you feel forced to disparage their work. It has been devastating for the Trumpian narrative.........which is founded on a mountain of lies.

 

[Mashmont]

.........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.

www.nbcnews.com

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.

To participate in the panel was to admit the investigation was legitimate. It never was. It's always been a partisan sideshow.

[CowboyTed]

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.

One was a witness in the investigation...

The other said that the investigation should be disbanded, that is to say there is nothing to investigate...

They then decided to not give anyone else so two Republicans volunteered..

[berg80]

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

McCarthy and the Dems agreed to negotiate. Rep. Katko negotiated for the Repubs.

Then McCarthy sabotaged the compromise by refusing to agree to it.

 

[berg80]

To participate in the panel was to admit the investigation was legitimate. It never was. It's always been a partisan sideshow.

Prove it.

 

[berg80]

well every questioner is a victim and therefore must recuse themselves. No one can sit.

(WASHINGTON) – Today, Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) announced that he has reached an agreement with Ranking Member John Katko (R-NY) to introduce legislation to form a bipartisan, independent Commission to investigate the January 6 domestic terrorism attack on the United States Capitol and recommend changes to further protect the Capitol, the citadel of our democracy. The legislation, entitled the National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol Complex Act (H.R. 3233), will be introduced by Reps. Thompson and Katko today and is expected to be considered in the House as soon as next week.

Commission details:

• The Commission will be charged with studying the facts and circumstances surrounding the January 6th attack on the Capitol as well as the influencing factors that may have provoked the attack on our democracy.
• Like the 9/11 Commission, the measure establishes a 10-person bipartisan commission with five commissioners, including the Chair, appointed by the Speaker of the House and Majority Leader of the Senate and five commissioners, including the Vice Chair, appointed by the Minority Leaders of the House and Senate.
• Commissioners must have significant expertise in the areas of law enforcement, civil rights, civil liberties, privacy, intelligence, and cybersecurity. Current government officers or employees are prohibited from appointment.
• Like the 9/11 Commission, the Commission will be granted authority to issue subpoenas to secure information to carry out its investigation but requires agreement between the Chair and the Vice Chair or a vote by a majority of Commission members.
• The Commission will be required to issue a final report with findings regarding the facts and causes of the attack, along with recommendations to prevent future attacks on our democratic institutions, by December 31, 2021.

 

[berg80]

my response had 100% more logic than any fking post you ever put up in here. You think McCarthy choose Liz Cheney. And then claim to have more logic than me. I drop my mic.

“There has been a growing consensus that the January 6th attack is of a complexity and national significance that what we need an independent commission to investigate. I am pleased that after many months of intensive discussion, Ranking Member Katko and I were able to reach a bipartisan agreement,” said Chairman Thompson. “Inaction – or just moving on – is simply not an option. The creation of this commission is our way of taking responsibility for protecting the U.S. Capitol. After all, the Capitol is not just a historic landmark, it is where our constituents come to see their democracy in action. As such, we owe it to the Capitol police and all who enter our citadel of democracy to investigate the attack. The timing of this action is particularly poignant with this being National Police Week, when we honor those who gave their lives to protect us.”

 

[Winco]

well every questioner is a victim and therefore must recuse themselves. No one can sit.

you're so silly.
grow a pair and man up, and demand that trump concede and demand that trump stops lying.

Yawn. The results of this ridiculous witch hunt will land....guess where....at the US Supreme Court where it will be...guess what.....DOA.

All part of trumps Master Plan.

Things like abortion and gun rights are decisions where a court can be split.

SCOTUS on trumps insurrection, I don't think so.
I really don't see the SCOTUS giving a big Fuck You to the Nation just to protect a con man.
But, Keep that Dream alive. Gives you hope doesn't it.
By the time it potentially reaches the SCOTUS, trump would have already been found guilty.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Excuses excuses.

They wanted a partisan shitshow, and they got one.

McCarthy wanted a self fulfilling prophecy. They got it.
Now you’re crying about it endlessly.
Such a tool.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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?

That tends to happen when orchestrating an attack on Congress.

Bottom line: The committee is made up of nothing but anti-Trumpers who only have an anti-Trump agenda.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Republicans had the right to seat who they wanted, Dems denied them this.

They decided to go it alone with two prop RINO quislings.

Sorry. There is no such right. Members of select committees are seated at the sole discretion of the Speaker and can be replaced at any time.
