Let's make one thing perfectly clear.

The reason why there are so many republicans senators oppsed to the 1/6 Commission is that they don't want to admit that they were involved.

Hey Tuberville and Hawley, care to admit that you guys were at the Trump Hotel meeting the night before, during a Congressional hearing? Thought so.

What are you guys hiding?

and go full Benghazi. They'll be sorry they blocked the watered-down bipartisan commission that gave them everything they wanted. Yes; they'll whine that any investigation will be a "witch hunt," but the fact is that there are plenty of real witches to be hunted, and it will probably turn out that some of them are members of Congress. They don't want to get to the bottom of 1/6 because they are at the bottom of it.

Justice matters.

But cutting themselves out of having power to block subpoenas is as stoopid as they R.

They don't Read the bills.

always do. Instead of a House commission we need a special prosecutor so that DOJ can put some teeth into the investigation.

Political money was used to support the effort. Follow the money to find out who was involved.

Where they said that the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were getting anonymous text messages about the location of where Congress and the Senate were being held and the messages were traced to a source from INSIDE CONGRESS. They had help from the fucking inside! Time to find out who these traitor(s) are and brand them and hang them out to dry like a traitor deserves.

that the RepubliQans do NOT want to go off - and why they are doing everything they can to keep it under cover.

LOGIC again asks: "If "ANTIFA" was 'responsible' for the INSURRECTION of January 6, why do the RepubliQans NOT want the investitgation?"

Who was that traitor they had on the inside who was willing to kill half (or more) of their coworkers? It's time to find this person out and give them a one-way ticket to Supermax!

Hawley and Tuberville, I'm looking in your direction. You too, Marjorie.

She agreed to be used as a conduit for some dark money. Needs to be investigated further.
Lock them all up until they start talking. Let's see subpoenas on these people.

Not now, not with a Jan 6 Commission.

Not in impeaching Donald Trump the second time.

Not in impeaching Donald Trump the first time.

THREE TOTAL FAILURES to defend the Country from attacks on its sovereignty.

This is a total whitewash.

Easy-peasy to strip all the questions of: Why? What were they thinking? How could they?

McConnell knows. McCarthy knows. They all know that they gave a wink&nod and/or outright encouragement and support to what happened on January 6th.

This is like asking a condemned serial murder if they want to be executed or not.

They. Are. Complicit.

They've chosen their side with a mini-me autocrat, an angry old man whose only delight is revenge, cruelty and disinformation, a man who would rather set fire to the entire country than admit he lost an election.

Treason Weasels, all of them. Particularly those who know better but chose silence.
