On Thursday, May 20, 2021, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined CNN’s Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer to discuss the Republican effort to block a bipartisan, independent commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection. Schiff also discussed new reports that the Trump administration secretly obtained phone and email records from reporters at CNN and the Washington Post, calling for immediate action to probe this abuse of power.

1. The GOP opposed the 911 Commission, as well.

"Leading Democrats, some Republicans and several relatives of those killed in the attacks on New York and Washington questioned why the White House did not disclose the warnings, which Bush administration officials described Thursday as "vague" and "nonspecific."

The White House said it would cooperate with any congressional inquiry. But in a private meeting Thursday, Bush told Republican senators there was a "sniff of politics in the air" and that Democrats were seeking a "political opportunity" in November's midterm elections over the disclosure.

Other Republicans echoed his comments after the meeting."

3. Of course they did. Political aspirations are more important to them than the safety of Americans.

5. The more

the GQP digs in their heels about rejecting the commission the more it tells me that those bastards knew all about the insurrection taking place. They need to go down they are our domestic terrorists.
