Like how stupid are they? McCarthy is meeting with the orange monkey today. Pelosi is going rip out a new one and veto every partisan person he picks only after conveniently meeting with the subject of said investigation
Good old Kevin, hope he brings a lot of Chapstick. That loser thinks Trump's going to be his savior to stay in leadership.

How much?
Does it matter? If they were not doing this they would be doing something else, and it would cost as much. The cost is in work hours paid, and no matter what they were doing they would charge the same. This is the government, it is all overhead.
How long?
Also, does it matter? However long it takes to get to the truth.
This is basically a type of trial. Do you ask these questions when a court is trying a thief?

Will it accomplish anything useful?
This is the interesting one. We can hope so. We need to take a long hard look at what happened and figure out why it happened, and how we can prevent it from happening again. This might have been nothing but a hiccup, but it might also be a sign that something is seriously wrong that we need to address. Failing to do so could be disastrous.

That is what it really comes down to, what is the cost if we do nothing?

Three questions;

How much?

How long?

Will it accomplish anything useful?
< Banghazi
Most of 2022 I hope. Still <Benghazi
If the whole truth comes out will be devastating in suburbs across the country. Trump's people will stay with him because they don't really care about the country.

Fox News will run a campaign that states the Jan 6th run on the Capitol was actually an event in Spain, also largely orchestrated by AOC. Also in the news : "This man took the vaccine and days later grew a tail".

There is no amount of *truth* or logic that penetrates caveman cognition. No. Amount.

McCarthy has selected Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, who recently visited former President Donald Trump on trips to the U.S.-Mexico border and Trump’s New Jersey golf club, to be the top Republican on the panel, according to a Republican familiar with the decision and an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi must approve the names before they are final, per committee rules.

McCarthy has also tapped Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis, North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong and Texas Rep. Troy Nehls to serve on the panel, according to the two people, who shared the names on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.

The five Republicans selected by McCarthy — all men — have strongly supported Trump, whose supporters laid siege to the Capitol building on Jan. 6 and interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory. Banks, Jordan and Nehls all voted to overturn Biden’s win that day, even after the rioting. Davis and Armstrong voted to certify Biden’s win.



Guess he doesn't trust his wimminfolk.

i'm guessing she'll reject them, and then repubs will bitch about how democrats won't seat them on committee. it's a stunt. and one that will sadly work for the GQP base.

So McCarthy made his picks for the 1/6 commission, and they include Jim Jordan, among other crazy ass clowns. This after he went and spoke to Trump.

Not that this is the least bit surprising.

Edit: never mind, already posted.

Wonder if it would be better to just seat them but enforce a strict rule no off topic questions or statements. The minutes Gym starts veering off into Hunter, spying on Americans, so called burning cities, Antifa or BLM cut their mics and they lose time allotment.

The hearing is just about Jan 6 and events that led up to that day

Yes but literally everything will work with that crowd so it doesn't matter. They could declare that Pelosi was literally eating a baby live on TV and those dipshits will believe it.

No it won't be better to seat them. But, they should look for an opportunity to scrutinize their roles in what happened Jan 6th and use that to dismiss them.

They would insist that was all part of the distrust and deep state games that caused The Don to act the way he did and try to use it as justification.

McCarthy’s going to make his own committee to investigate why Pelosi failed to prevent Trumpers from storming the Capital by not hardening it enough.

Oh yes they will. We will be up to our ass in Benghazis, Hunter Biden-ghazis, and probably at least one impeachment.
What are they going to impeach Biden for, Stuttering? :D (I know, they will try anything, probably try to impeach him on his fraudulent election win, damn the truth and real facts!)
