The House can appointment a select committee. The repubs can't stop it. The Truth is not what the repubs want to hear.
hahaa they aren’t interested in the truth
we have had hearings, we know what happened. So we know this is nothing but a political stunt to divert from their failed, horrible policies
Yes, it was a protest that got out of hand. The most heavily armed(with guns) citizens of a country don’t
prepare to overthrow the most powerful nation in the world (insurrection) with zip ties and tasers. Only idiot, moronic, indoctrinated folks believe such nonsense.
It wasn’t a protest
They were there on Trumps orders to stop Congress from certifying the election.
They carried zip ties to secure captured members of Congress and had bear spray to engage Capitol Police
They stormed through the Capitol not in protest but demanding to know where members of Congress were.
Specifically, they were hunting for Pelosi, AOC and Pence.
All this will come out in the Congressional Incestigation
when and where did trump give this order?
They received direction from Trump to come to DC on Jan 6 and Stop the Steal
Not “Protest the Steal” but to STOP it

How is coming to a rally direction to storm the Capitol and bring zip ties etc?
and frankly since DC gave the folks putting the rally together a permit...didn't the liberal town council really invite those people?
If you come to a rally you bring signs not Bear Spray, zip ties to take prisoners and explosive devices
yeah like the young people carrying the sign in the link you provided to “prove” your point...
Oh...so just because some were not prepared to take prisoners, that negates those who were
oh i am sure there were some radicals there.
that however doesn’t prove your first point.
in fact you have shown us that 1) peaceful protesters were invited to come to a rally...holding signs...2) the president spoke at said rally 3) the dem government. of DC invited people there
thanks
The same old cop out
If Trump wanted “peaceful protesters” , why did he wait four hours after the protest turned violent to say anything?
Why, when protestors had breached the Capitol, did he send a tweet questioning the patriotism of the Vice President?
Why did he ignore the urging of staff, family and other Republicans to call off the mob?
Why?
Because he was enjoying it
Vital questions regarding our national security naturally arise and must be answered.
Republicans attempt to sweep the Trump goons' attack on Congress - a component of the
"Big Lie" - under the rug - will
not result in a national
"Never mind!"
Trump toadies ran away from the opportunity for a
bipartisan commission with a specified end-date.
A select-committee investigation will now provide Democrats with subpoena power, just as Republicans were able to summon witnesses during their years-long investigation into the 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Among those witnesses was the central target of their probe, former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, who was
subpoenaed by Republicans, and appeared for 11 hours of interrogation.
Will Cry Baby Loser be lying and whining for 11 hours? That
is the prospect with which Republicans have just rewarded Americans.
Despite their intense and protracted efforts, Republicans failed to contrive anything to charge Clinton with. Whether Cry Baby Loser can derive any solace from that is highly problematical.
(The long slog of one Trump goon after another being prosecuted will provide a fitting
leitmotif for the festivities.)
