Pelosi didn't appoint a Commission with only her people on it. She accepted two of McCarthy's other picks, but the two guys who helped Trump plan and carry out January 6th objections to the certification to the election, both of whom are material witnesses in this investigation, were not permitted to sit on the Committee. You don't invite the guy with the matches to an arson investigation.

I found this report, dated January 7th, but it didn't name the "two Pentagon officials" who made this allegation. These are just some of the questions which need answers. Who said this, and on what basis?
Other officials from BOTH parties enquired as to WHO turned down such requests. And why.
This is WHY a commission and an investigation is needed. Because police and FBI investigations will look at who committed what crimes, but not why it happened in the first place.
