As for the commission, well they just wanted to make it a bigger joke and complain about how they can’t be like the BLM and it supporters…
when did he do that? he’s a member of the house, the link you provided was to a senate vote on a seperate Commission…not a house investigation.
That`s your excuse for smearing feces on the wall of the Capitol and beating up 130 cops?Roudy

A group of House Democrats and Republicans announced Friday that they had struck a deal to establish an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a significant breakthrough after months of partisan standoff over the mandate for such a panel — and whether it should exist at all.
The proposed 10-member commission, which emulates the panel that investigated the causes and lessons of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, would be vested with subpoena authority and charged with studying the events and run-up to Jan. 6
In the bipartisan deal announced Friday, five members would be appointed by the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, while the other five would appointed by their Republican counterparts. In a departure from Pelosi’s earlier proposal, President Biden would not have a say in appointing any commissioners.
The commission would have the power to subpoena witnesses, but not without an agreement between the Democratic-appointed chair and the Republican-appointed vice chair, or a majority vote of the panel. Current government officials, including those holding elective office, would not be allowed to serve on the panel, to maintain its independence.
The commission would be tasked with producing a final report detailing its findings, as well as any recommendations for preventing similar attacks in the future, by the end of this year, giving it about six months to complete its work — if Congress approves the commission in short. By comparison, the 9/11 Commission took 20 months to publish its findings.
In his announcement, Thompson predicted that legislation would be on the House floor as soon as next week. While it is almost certain to gain majority support from the Democratic-led House, Republicans will have to decide whether to side with moderates like Katko or with GOP leaders who have resisted efforts to hold Trump accountable for the violence. Many Republicans fear that supporting the commission risks alienating the former president’s followers, a base of political support they consider vital to reclaiming majorities in the House and Senate.
nancy pelosi agreed to everything the (R)s asked for in order to establish a jan 6 commission. when it went to the house floor the (R)s, including mccarthy still voted no; sans cheney & kinzinger.

since the (D)s have the majority - it passed & then the senate struck it down.
when the investigations are shown live - will you watch them on an unbiased site - like CSPAN, or catch the pundits edits & obvious spin?
Cool...but Kevin is a member of the House not the US Senate. So, he wasn't part of the group that struck it down as you suggested...idiot
. Let’s talk about the real insurrection by leftist all throughout 2020 , where many were badly beaten or killed
Cool, but there was a bipartisan agreement in the House....anyway...that's rather old news, compared to what is happening right nowhe tried to strike it down ... by voting NO.
& then got turtleboy to seal the deal.
1+1=2 no matter how you slice it or dice it. had he voted YES & got the rest of his caucus to do the same, he'd be in a much better place now.
sucks to be him too.
With all that propaganda when you have full power the Progressive Socialist Party will not play. They will fit the amount of people needed into a reduced sized and slow growing economy.That`s your excuse for smearing feces on the wall of the Capitol and beating up 130 cops?
By deciding who can and can't be on committees or participate in political activity, Pelosi is borrowing a page from Iran's authoritarian theocratic ruler Ayatollah Khamenei who regularly choses by edict those who can run for political office, hold certain administrative positions or participate in any type political activity only if they are a crony who's ideology is in line with the Mullahs and are willing to steal from and torture their people.
Shame on the Democrats.
Nancy Pelosi just doomed the already tiny chances of the 1/6 committee actually mattering
If you ever held any hope that the House select committee on the January 6 US Capitol riot might produce a report that would help us understand what happened in the lead-up to that day and, in so doing, provide us avenues to keeping it from happening again, you should give up on those hopes now.
"The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision," Pelosi said by way of explanation in rejecting Jordan and Banks.
~Snip~

No matter Pelosi's reasoning, her decision to reject Jordan and Banks, the two most high-profile Republicans put forward by McCarthy, dooms even the possibility of the committee being perceived as bipartisan or its eventual findings being seen as independent.
Comment:
Pelosi took that step to far.. Whatever the outcome of the 1/6 based upon the committees' findings without a bi-partisan panel the findings will be suspect and biased.
& now for the truth:
A look at the facts of the proposed Jan. 6 commission, and the politics surrounding it:
A BIPARTISAN APPROACH
Republicans have tried to paint the commission as partisan, even though the bill passed by the House would give Republicans and Democrats an equal number of members.
In fact, the bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and the top Republican on that panel, New York Rep. John Katko. The commission would have ten members — five appointed by Democrats and five appointed by Republicans. The chairperson would be appointed by Democrats and the vice chairperson would be appointed by Republicans. Subpoenas could only be issued if there is agreement between those two heads or by a vote of a majority of the commission.
...The legislation calls for the chairperson to hire staff “in consultation with the vice chairperson, in accordance with rules agreed upon by the commission.”
EXPLAINER: How Congress' Jan. 6 commission would work
GOP blocks Capitol riot probe, displaying loyalty to Trump
By MARY CLARE JALONICK and LISA MASCARO May 28, 2021
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Friday blocked creation of a bipartisan panel to investigate the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, displaying continuing party loyalty to former President Donald Trump and firm determination to shift the political focus away from the violent insurrection by his GOP supporters.
The Senate vote was 54-35 — six short of the 60 needed — to take up a House-passed bill that would have formed an independent 10-member commission evenly split between the two parties.
“The investigations will happen with or without Republicans,” declared Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, one of the Republicans who voted to move forward. “To ensure the investigations are fair, impartial and focused on the facts, Republicans need to be involved.”
GOP blocks Capitol riot probe, displaying loyalty to Trump
they had their chance . now comes the truth with the witness' & the subpoenas forthcoming.
Hilarious, Democrat hack propagandists promoting fascism and authoritarian accusing Republicans of what they are. Looks like they forgot that Adam Schitt and co. are on this so called committee. Yet they have the gall to refuse Republicans just because they question the lies the Democrats have been promoting.
I don't recall Boehner or any Republican denying any particular Democrat the right to serve on a committee or investigation just because he / she doesn't like what the Democrat stands for, genius.
dude, the swamp is full. Both parties. Been saying it. It's why there was a Trump, you still don't understand that. And..............74 million did vote again for Trump, a 13 million increase, so don't pull your usual shit, If you really think 74 million americans think the planet is wrong. Not at all, those 74 million know demofks are wrong. One wishes to associate with those demofk idiots are included in the thought. The planet doesn't really do anything except exist.
Is Nancy really getting away with anything? A "bi-partisan" committee that's obviously not bi-partisan becomes a show trial and has about as much believability as one! Nancy Pelosi is overstepping badly on this one and it WILL come back to bite Democrats in the ass!
We thought you where a Berkley college educated ?You are the fascists and authoritarians. The fact is that Republicans are the ones lying as you are.
well dude, that's the senate. peloser isn't in the senate.
We thought you where a Berkley college educated ?
