As Congress launches a powerful — albeit delayed — investigation into the causes of the Jan. 6 insurrection on Tuesday, Republicans are already calling it a partisan witch hunt

? What communications might the White House have had with various agencies before Jan. 6, and how might those have affected how those agencies handled — or didn’t handle — the crisis?”

One objection may be that the Senate has already released a report on the Jan. 6 insurrection, a joint project by two committees. But that report has been widely criticized as being narrow in scope, and leaving many of the questions mentioned by Jurecic unanswered. “It’s focused on a relatively narrow time frame, digging into how various agencies and the congressional bureaucracy fumbled the ball in the weeks before Jan. 6 and on the day itself. But it doesn’t broaden its scope to examine the structural factors that might have led those organizations to fumble the ball, or examine the role of President Trump in whipping up rioters through his lies about a stolen election.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Trump after the vote and pointed the finger at him, even though McConnell did not vote to convict, because he said he did not believe the Constitution allowed Congress to convict a former president.“There is no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it,” McConnell said.

The Republicans are like a German to me whom said, 'there was no Holocaust.'

Who did this? Investigate!

Can we have a congressional commission on the growing likelihood that covid was made in a Chinese lab? You know, the virus that has killed millions worldwide and ground the international economy to a halt?

i have no idea how it's possible that trump could still be openly roaming the land terrorizing people with his simmering insurrection, spreading lies, amid a constant stream of former officials sharing horror stories of his abuse of power and animus for america's laws and values

Finally! Go get 'em, American heroes! Bring Donald Trump to his knees and end his tyranny!

As the House select committee convenes, the GOP’s oligarchical seditious conspiracy continues & our country is still under attack. Disinformation, lies & false hope are their weapons. Keep your republic. Demand TheJusticeDept to ArrestTrumpNow
