Marco Rubio Says 1/6 Commission Requests for Subpoenas Will Be Tool to 'Damage Republicans'

Why would any GOPer want to block any part of this investigation if they have nothing to hide?

"This is about politics," Rubio said. "You don't actually need the subpoena. All you need is a story out there saying 'congressman so-and-so, they want to subpoena him or her but they can't because the Republicans are blocking it.' It creates this impression that maybe congressman so-and-so did something wrong."

DOn't block subpoenas, then.
Testify, then.
Seems the Republican party only has a problem if they are complicit. Otherwise, why not demand to get to the bottom of it, since Antifa Did It, and Biden Supporters disguised themselves and pretended to be Trumpers to make 45 look bad.
