7. Kinziger wants the profile for the anti-tRump Repubs.

He's looking at the future.

And tho totally silent, there are a lot of anti-tRump repubs.

He was all in for tRump, till he wasn't..he saw a divide & an opportunity.
Liz Cheney as well. They're both still Republicans but may decide to be the 2 that pick up the pieces of their Party after tRump et al, left it in smoldering embers.

Either way, if he can be straight up fair on the investigation then fine.
We know how Cheney feels!

Is there still even a smidgen of integrity, honesty, and honest love for American democracy in the soul of any republican Congress members?

We are about to find out.

But what is necessary should take precedence over what might be desirable.

Nothing is going to stop the 'that's partisan' mewling, so it out to just be 'priced in', to descend a moment to market-babble.

Ms Pelosi herself said she would be open for another repub to join the committee, but it would have to be a "good" one.

per CNN colleague @MZanona, Pelosi making Jan 6 select committee more bipartisan by appointing Adam Kinzinger to join Liz Cheney on panel

the fact that Cheney and Kinzinger embrace reality/tell the truth may make them outcasts within GOP caucus, but they are still Republicans

Andy Devine! Did that ever bring back a foggy, childhood memory: Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!

Words to live by, eh?

Thanks for that, Champp.

As for the Select Committee? Nancy Pelosi is the Boss. She's made McCarthy look like the fool he is. The Committee has Liz Cheney on board so it's already bipartisan. And whew, did Cheney ever roast McCarthy after his performance stunt.

Another Republican on the Committee, a member who stood strong, refused to vote NO on the electoral certification would be fine but unnecessary. The investigation will go forward and the GOP will be on the hot seat bc a number of their members were complicit in the January 6th insurrection.

We know it; they know it.

Madame Speaker will make sure everyone in the world knows it.

The net on these suckers continues to tighten.
