Republicans Threaten to Launch Their Own Jan. 6 Riot Commission, Because Why the Hell Not?

[Rye Catcher]

THE FBI HAS ALREADY INVESTIGATED 1/6:

The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.


"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."

1-OFF CASES: 'A ONE-TIME EVENT, NOT COORDINATED OR REPETATIVE'



'FBI investigators did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol. But they found no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside, the sources said.'



Prosecutors have filed conspiracy charges against 40 of those defendants, alleging that they engaged in some degree of planning before the attack.
- NO ONE ARRESTED INVOLVED IN THE 1/6 INCITED RIOT HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH 'CONSPIRACY', 'TREASON', OR ANY SUCH RELATED CHARGES. THEY HAVE BEEN INDICTED / CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANORS, UNLAWFUL ENTRY, ETC... NO 'INSURRECTION'




"Senior lawmakers have been briefed in detail on the results of the FBI's investigation so far and find them credible, a Democratic congressional source said. :

Much like with Pelosi's 1st Failed impeachment, Senior Lawmakers were briefed by the FBI - Pelosi and pother Democrats KNOW this was not an 'Insurrection' - just as she knew there was no crime committed by Trump and no evidence to support any claim there was; yet once again Pelosi is going forward with another political theatrical waste of time.

More Bullshit! You're despicable; much like trump.

Red State ^ | 07/22/2021 |

The political circus over the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol building continues to get zanier, Republicans seem to be more willing to throw their weight around. During a Wednesday briefing at Capitol Hill, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) declared that the GOP will launch its own investigation into the incident, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pulled two Republican lawmakers from the supposedly bipartisan committee.



McCarthy’s threat comes after Democrats decided to form their own committee to “investigate” the riot, when it became apparent that they did not have enough support for a 9/11-style commission to look into the matter. RedState’s Nick Arama noted that Pelosi made sure the committee was “stacked with anti-Trump people” like Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and others. However, when the speaker vetoed the appointment of Reps. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), who were the McCarthy’s choices, it became clear that the Democrats were intent on making the panel as partisan as possible.
The House minority leader released a statement, explaining that unless Pelosi seats all five GOP picks, “Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts.”
In his announcement, McCarthy said, in part:

In a move that is sure to shock the nation, Cheney defended Pelosi’s actions, stating, “I agree with what the Speaker has done.”

Pelosi also released a statement in which she defended her decision. She argued that the “unprecedented nature” of the Jan. 6 riot “demands the unprecedented decision” to prohibit Banks and Jordan from participating in the panel and requested that McCarthy pick two other Republican lawmakers instead.
Since the effort to form a 9/11-style commission and subsequent Democratic committee are clearly partisan in nature, none of this comes as a surprise. McCarthy likely chose Banks and Jordan, knowing that Pelosi would pull rank and reveal her true intentions.
This sham of an investigation is intended for one purpose: To further weaponize the riot at the U.S. Capitol and milk it for all it’s worth. Democrats are trying to use the incident to gain an advantage for the 2022 midterm elections, and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the result of the supposed probe will be released at a time when Democrats believe it will help them strategically.
The FBI is already investigating the riot, and there are other congressional investigations proceeding at this moment. This is what Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pointed out when he signaled that Senate Republicans would not vote in favor of this farce.
In light of all this, why shouldn’t the Republicans form their own committee and conduct their own investigation? After all, some are questioning Pelosi’s conduct as the fracas ensued. What if the GOP digs deeper and finds information that isn’t favorable to the left? Turnabout is fair play, isn’t it?

Pelosi has all but revealed what everyone already knows: The committee is politically motivated. But why should the Democrats have all the fun?
Let’s have two competing investigations that are purely motivated by political expediency. That way, when the Democrats reveal their findings – or better yet, their manufactured evidence — Republicans will have material with which to counter the narrative that the left will almost certainly push when the time comes. If Democrats wish to continue weaponizing the riot, the Republicans don’t have to make it easy for them, do they?

Maybe THEY will release the name and ID of Ashli's murderer, because we KNOW the corrupt demonRATS will not!!!!...... and call founder charges to be filed!!!

Is this as promising as:

Durham indicting Hillary Clinton?

trump winning a lawsuit?

Mexico paying for The Wall?

The majority of America forgot about around January 9th

Well, the weak-minded minority that makes up the orange cult.

"RedState’s Nick Arama noted that Pelosi made sure the committee was “stacked with anti-Trump people”"

Nick Arama is a damn liar. McCarthy wanted to put the rudest most
obnoxious members of the Republican Caucus to interrupt witnesses and and upset the committee. The Speaker is smart and knew this was McCarthy's effort and did not go along with his crap.

Every witness who testified knew that they were under oath, and the evidence was clear. The former President incited the insurrection, and as the AG stated clearly, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Nope.......House tradition allows the minority party to select the members on each committee....Pelosi didn't allow that, and appointed her own pet republicans to the committee......

So you have the democrats choosing all the video, all the witnesses, issuing all the subpoenas without one voice to contradict or ask opposing questions of the witnesses...

You guys learned a lot from Stalin's show trials....

I imagine that in actual criminal courts the victims of your persecutions having actual legal representation and being able to question witnesses burns your ass....right?

More Bullshit! You're despicable; much like trump.

That thing at the bottom of my post - it's called a LINK...when you click on it, it takes you to an article.

It is understandable that you have no idea what it is because you never use one. As you just demonstrated ... AGAIN ... You have an emotional, TDS-suffering, tantrum-throwing meltdown, then you start rudely insulting people after you give your f*ed up opinion.

Ignorant and boring, which you are, is a bad way to go through life....

I can't wait for the GOP version of the J6 Kangaroo Court in January.
Followed closely by the Impeachment of Joe Biden

Several months ago I posted a link to and a copy of a bipartisan report filed by a bipartisangroup in Congress, report that went into great detail covering the many security and communication failures by the Capitol Police and others.

Interesting how that report has gotten almost no media play ... it does not fit their false narrative.
