A brewing political fight over the creation of an independent commission to investigate the Capitol riot is focused not only on the partisan makeup of the panel but also over the scope of the probe and how the commission would examine domestic extremism

Republicans are balking at a plan put forward by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to create an outside commission with more Democrats than Republicans, and one whose mandate they say would go beyond just the security failures of the January 6 insurrection.

Her draft proposal included House and Senate party leaders appointing two members each, with President Joe Biden appointing two members and the chair, making the party breakdown seven Democrats to four Republicans. Takeaways from the Senate hearing on the US Capitol attackAt her weekly press conference last week, Pelosi cited a letter the 9/11 commission wrote about what should go into the commission, saying it largely lined up with her plan.

Focus on the distractions occurring while probing such Trump memos he has some one in New York in his pocket to through that verdict out on Daniel Prude, no charges while on camera a mental deranged person lost his life starts a March which helps the coup pleas watch the crooks

WHY is this even a debate? One with a conscience, the COMMON Sense of knowing what's right/wrong should be totally on board. Oh wait, I forgot all about the GOP weenies in BOTH houses!

Every Time Someone Brings Up The Republican Involvement In The Elections. ..., Its Like A Knife In Their Heart... .

Cannot allow an investigation to be white washed by the traitor caucus in the GOP

Thanks for working overtime to post slanted news and your hard work to promote and incite hatred; all for dividing this great nation 🇺🇸

Maybe they could just use the same independent (yeah right) commission they used to investigate the millions of damage done during the mostly peaceful riots last summer. 🤔

Hey CNN the whole world is watching your biased a* kissing one sided blind news coverage but not on your channel... on other channels calling you out! You are on the brink of self destruction and it’s pathetic to watch! 😎

Independent Yeah right .

It was staged AF by democrats to blame Trump...enjoy

Republicans don’t want the truth to come out

If Republicans are innocent they should welcome a complete investigation of January 6th. The only reason not to would be if members of the Republican Party committed indictable offences.

Still trying to find CNN's article on the.....alledged....sexual predator Cuomo. This man is disgusting. The house of cards is coming crashing down and CNN refuses to cover it.

But here's something on the lighter side of things

Clear enough that very few republicans can be trusted on these investigations. If they cry 'partisan', it is partisan - the republican party in general terms has grown extremist to the point of attempting to overthrow the republic.

GovHowardDean We are going well into the 15th year of the Department of Justice stating that right-wing domestic terrorism was the greatest danger that we faced the Republican Congress in the Year 2005 simply through the report out and they've been ignoring them ever since. But this isn't the

ЭТО ПРОСТО ГРАЖДАНСКАЯ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТЬ . КАКАЯ КОМИССИЯ И ЕЩЕ В МАСШТАБЕ ? КТО НИБУДЬ ЗВОНИЛ КОПАМ ?

The republicans need to join with the democrats and take this way more seriously.

Why does this surprise anyone? The truth needs to be told and those involved held accountable. What are GOP afraid of?

GovHowardDean With the evidence that's already coming out half of the Republican Party would have to resign after such a detailed and in-depth investigation... several of the insurgents arrested were arrested with details copies of the Capitol building which are classified information for

So now, after voting in the House to impeach, now they want to investigate? Hey SpeakerPelosi Weren't you suppose to investigate and collect facts before an impeachment?

Coup D'état attempt, it was never a riot as RupervMurdoch is trying to groom the truth, it's an attempted insurrection/Coup D'état, humanity riots, murderous militias attempt insurrections, soldiers attempt Coup D'état, how many trumplicans are ex service.

Go Nancy!!!!!!!!!

SenateGOP HouseGOP fear a 911 Commission type investigation. They know many of their (Republican) names will come out as partaking in the insurrection. The guilty never want an investigation. Rethuglicans RepublicanConstitutionalTraitors

Nobody's right! Nobody's wrong! Thought this country has grown past this 'I'm better than you I'm white I'm rich' Other stupid remarks! We haven't!

🇺🇸

The Buffalo Man was a rebel legend as a movie hero 😂

What is the GOP hiding? What DONT they want us to discover. Most people in search of the truth leave no stone uncovered.

The insurrection should be investigated. What members of Congress were aware ahead of time? Who knew what when? Texas with civilians charged? Who gave tours to insurrection members? And the makeup of the commission should not include potential violators! CapitolRiots

How about sending someone to investigate why people in rural VA are still w/o power after 13 days. Investigate why SouthsideEC is busy clearing areas to get new customers instead of caring about the current ones. Show that you care about rural areas too

looks like the ASP, the american socialist party. dont forget the asp is a poisonous snake.

Nothing on the Cuomo sexual harassment?

Left wing freinds, Antifa and proud boys plants were highly involved.
