Has the GOP blown it on the Jan 6 committee?

[Dana7360]

The former guy has again put the GQP in a lousy situation: They can't risk angering him by backing the Jan 6 Committee, and their cowardice may make things even worse for them.

At least with an even-numbered, bipartisan committee they could have controlled some of what took place and what was released. But if Pelosi puts together a select committee, and they find irrefutable evidence that harms the GQP, the Trumpsters will just have to bend over and take it.

Oh well. Another example of what happens when you choose to sell your soul to a weak man who cares nothing about you.

Embarrassed Republican Max Boot (now most likely a an evil Hitler commie in the eyes of the cult) makes good points here, including gung ho the GQP was with its Benghazi "investigations":

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/05/19/why-republican-opposition-jan-6-commission-could-be-blessing-disguise/

A special counsel appointed by the DOJ can also happen if the republicans don't allow the January 6th committee to happen.

The republicans are their own worse enemy.

My guess is Mitch and Charlie McCarthy would rather be in the position they've taken where they will say the Commission is a political stunt, and they agree Jan 6 was "just terrible" but Antifa and Blm pose dangers the dems refuse to address

It IS a political stunt, the idea that there needs to be a Congressional Commission surrounding this incident is ludicrous and nothing more than a thinly disguised attempt at a partisan attack using taxpayer funds.

We already have law enforcement agencies that can handle the investigations and prosecutions in this case, Congress Critters need to knock off the attempts at grandstanding, get out of the way and LET THEM DO THEIR JOB.

We send Congress Critters to Washington to act as legislators not to live out their out their Dick Tracy fantasies on our dime.

What have they "blown?" The Dims plan to put the entire Republican party on trial. This is a witch hunt. Any Republican who supports it will get his ass handed to him in the next election.

Here's a sample.

The British Army in Palestine | National Army Museum

In the 1940s, the British Army found itself stuck in the middle of a growing conflict between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. The momentous events that followed led to the creation of the State of Israel.

With the cooperation of their minions in the media, democrats seem to be following the script. The plan is to take the focus off the doddering old fool in the W.H. and the mess the Country is in and turn the focus on the former president. It's pretty easy to entertain the hard core democrat base with hate speech but I doubt if it is resonating with the rest of the Country.

Was Jan 6 much more than a capitol tour that just got a little rowdy?

Yeah, that's probably the plan. Maybe they think they can throw enough crap at it to stick.

So it may depend on the nature and quality of any dirt they dig up. Even though we now inhabit two different universes, some facts may be too big to ignore.

Assuming they find something, that is. Who knows.

It's amusing in a way. Trump wants the focus to be on him. The dems want the focus to be on Trump. But McConnell and Charlie McCarthy know that is one issue where they probably can't get to 45%, and they will lose the Senate pretty much guaranteed

They've made their bed, that's for sure. But they also know that the odds still favor them in 2022, and that's all that matters.

It never ceases to amaze me how Republicans will absolutely humiliate themselves for Donald Trump. Donald Trump: a man who ran a fraudulent scheme known as Trump University, a man barred from ever owning a charitable foundation because of his corruption, a man sued for raping a 13 year old, a pathological liar, a man who brought or defended over 3000 law suits, an incompetent twit who botched the covid response, a man who lost the senate and the house while president, and a man so delusional and arrogant that he was, and is, willing to destroy the fabric of this nation to satisfy his ego.

One word describes the GOP: SPINELESS.

Ummm.. being directly involved in the case would make Congress the WORST organization to investigate it, why do you think we force law enforcement officers to recuse themselves from investigating cases that involve them personally?

We have PROFESSIONAL law enforcements agencies that can handle this just fine, for example the FBI, ever heard of them? apparently, they're surprisingly good at investigating crimes.
