Pelosi teases Kinzinger addition to Jan. 6 Capitol attack investigation

Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday confirmed that she's likely to appoint GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger — a rare Donald Trump antagonist in his party — to the select panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection as part of a boosted Republican presence.

Pelosi’s comments come days after House Minority Kevin McCarthy withdrew the remaining Republican appointments to the panel following the speaker's rejection of two of them, Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana. Both are aggressive defenders of the former president, and they were already gearing up to shift the focus onto Democrats, rather than Trump and their party.

Should Kinzinger join his friend Cheney on the select panel, Democrats will be able to tout the involvement of two traditional conservatives in a bipartisan inquiry. Nonetheless, the findings of the panel will likely be rejected by Trump's allies, who have blasted the panel as a partisan ploy designed to hurt him and the party ahead of the midterms next year.

"It's clear that Pelosi only wants members on this committee who will stick to her talking points and stick to her narrative," Banks said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday." "That's why she's picked the group that she's already picked, and anyone that she asks to be on this committee from this point moving forward will be stuck to her narrative, to her point of view. There won't be another side.

Plus he's hot, so this panel will be easy on the eyes

Kinzinger is not a republican at this point.

Only 2 GOPs with INTEGRITY from over 200 in Congress! Tells you everything!

👍👏🏼

..it makes sense to place other Republicans that are actually interested in getting to the bottom of what happened as opposed to adding people that flat out refuse to take it seriously.

Obvious choice, Pelosi won’t have anything against those GOP politicians against Trump.

A rare, honest and democracy-protecting Republican…fixed it for you.

So she plans on adding another Democrat, got it 😂

The Republican in-fighting is the Fuedal Land owner side of the party at war with the Central Bankers side of the party. (Note:. Democrats are fully-owned by the Central Bankers)

Biased

😏 pierre delecto for a hat-trick...?

Kinzinger is a Republican with a spine, a species that is nearing extinction.

Let's get Michael Cohen on it too just to Piss off Trump. MichaelCohen212

Unlikely partners Pelosi and Cheney team up for Jan. 6 probeWhen Nancy Pelosi raised a glass to Liz Cheney, it was the most unlikely of toasts. Democratic lawmakers and the Republican congresswoman were gathered in the House speaker’s office as the group prepared for the first session of the committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Pelosi spoke of the “solemn responsibility” before them and raised her water glass to Cheney, a daughter of the former vice president and the sole Republican in the room. Cheney is very likely ending her political career and certainly will never be picked for another committee again. If that's what you call teaming up 'partnership.' Do you understand 'winning' at all? Why are there no comments about a 500000$ painting painted by the Presidents son and who is not a painter

Pelosi assures January 6 select committee will 'seek the truth''I did not accept two of the five people appointed. They have made statements and taken action that I think would impact the integrity of the committee,' Speaker Pelosi says on rejecting Congressmen Jordan and Banks for the Jan. 6 Select Committee. Lots of unnecessary words to call two obvious liars dirty f*cking liars. Preventing the nonsense is the best start possible.
