WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is acting swiftly to launch a new investigation of the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, choosing a diverse slate of eight lawmakers — one from the opposing party — to serve on a select committee with subpoena power. Republicans have the chance to recommend five additional members, but it's unclear whether they will do so. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who could be called to testify about a conversation with former President Donald Trump as the attack unfolded, has not committed to any appointments.
REP. BENNIE THOMPSON, D-MISS. Thompson is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and will be leading the Jan. 6 select committee. Serving his 14th full term in office, he is the only Democratic member of Mississippi's congressional delegation. He was a teacher before entering local politics, serving as a mayor and country supervisor, which served as a springboard to the House.

The select committee to come up with their select facts, on only the select occurrences they want to investigate. To quote Dr Rand Paul 'it's all just theater'
Cheney has went to the dark side. She can never come back from this betrayal of the party
Obviously the insurrectionists don’t want to investigate the insurrection
Shows how Republicans are so Un-American
Wish she had picked RepKinzinger too. Thank you sir for your patriotism.

Rep. Smith: Jan. 6 committee shouldn't be 'reflective' of 'Trumpian Republicans''The point of the select committee is not to be reflective of Kevin McCarthy and the Trumpian Republicans. The point of this is to figure out where did this mob come from,' Rep. Smith says on a Jan. 6th committee. It came from the Democrats fascism. It’s not hard to figure out. When you infringe on peoples rights, they get upset. The Democrats will never admit to doing any wrong. And the select committee on Antifa and BLM who caused more than $2B in damages through looting, rioting, destruction, and arson is where? Not to mention even the current VP advocated bailing these heathens out of jail! Where’s that committee? good
