Being the weak Trump sycophant that he is, Mitch McConnell is so afraid of Officer Brian Sicknick's mom that he is begging GOP senators to do him a "personal favor" and kill the proposed commission.https://crooksandliars.com/cltv/2021/05/mcconnell-strongarms-gop-senators?utm_source=social&utm_medium=twitter&utm_content=46182

Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?
But we put together a Benghazi special committee. A select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because shes untrustable. But no one would have known that any of that had happened had we not fought to make that happen.

Some of us suspected that's what they were trying to do to HRC with Benghazi. They may now be afraid a 1/6 commission will turn the tables on them ahead of the midterms.

Congress and the Senate. They have a whole lot of people to protect. Vast right-wing conspirators strike again.

Appoint a Special Counsel.
The Republicans have John Durham still hanging out there. Garland needs to get busy and appoint a Jan 6th counsel asap once this vote fails
