  1. Leftist WSB radio was spinning it as “Republicans feared that a commission investigating the deadly attack would hurt their electoral chances in 2022.”

    You could hear the anger in the news readers’ voices as they lashed out every half hour. It warmed my heart. And I was only listening because the execrable Erick Erickson was on vacation.

  2. @??
    The Republicans aren’t trying to hide anything. Except for the six knuckleheads, the Republicans are trying to keep democrats from using a kangaroo court to attack Trump yet again.

  3. This could be a mistake. The only narrative we’ve been hearing about January 6th is what the media wants us to hear. A commission COULD be a chance at hearing what happened in detail.

  4. There is too much denial in this country. Globalist traitors usurped your Federal government in two election cycles. You could hear a pin drop at Joe’s inauguration.

    I am drool with the idea of Trump usurping Nancy’s spot too, and then taking the presidency in 2024.

    Our vote is all there really is.

  5. Well OK.
    I assumed they were blocking a Legitimate investigation. Silly me.
    On further reflection I doubt any commission run by demtards would be legitimate.
    Carry on, people.

    I do get your point. Like when someone files a lawsuit, discovery can be very helpful for the defendant. However, with Ds controlling the process and the narrative through their friendly media, it gives the Dumpocraps a chance to prolong the rubbish about right-wing domestic radicals led by the ee-vile Trump. Our side of the story will come out through lawsuits by Judicial Watch, et al. If the the Rs go along with this commission they give legitimacy to a rigged process. If they don’t support it they’re accused of hiding and obstructing. Pick yer poison.

  8. How long this would stand?
    The usual suspected already caved.
    All the demcorats need to do is to make “some adjustments” and the rest of the RINOs would cave too.
