WASHINGTON, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi today named her appointments to a bipartisan Select Committee to examine and report upon the facts and causes relating to the terrorist mob attack on the United States Capitol Complex on January 6th, 2021.
“January 6th was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history, with five people killed, 140 members of law enforcement physically harmed and countless more seriously traumatized,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “It is clear that January 6th was not simply an attack on a building, but an attack on our very democracy: an attack on the peaceful transfer of power. It is imperative that we find the truth of that day and ensure that such an assault on our Capitol and Democracy cannot ever again happen.”
“It had been our hope to establish a bipartisan, independent National Commission, but there is no prospect for that Commission at this time,” continued Speaker Pelosi. “Yesterday, the House established the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Today, I am proud to name Members who will patriotically honor our oath and our responsibility to the American people: to seek the truth.”
The Members of the Committee are:
Chair Bennie Thompson: Chair of Homeland Security Committee
Chair Zoe Lofgren: Chair of Committee on House Administration
Chair Adam Schiff: Chair of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Rep. Pete Aguilar, House Administration and Appropriations Committees
Rep. Liz Cheney, Armed Services Committee
Rep. Stephanie Murphy, Armed Services Committee
Rep. Jamie Raskin, Oversight and Judiciary Committees
Rep. Elaine Luria, Navy veteran, Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees
The Select Committee on the January 6th Insurrection will investigate and report upon the facts and causes of the terrorist mob attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021. It will also be charged with reporting its findings, conclusions and recommendations for preventing future attacks. The Committee will be bipartisan, with thirteen members appointed by the Speaker, five of whom will be appointed after consultation with the Minority Leader.
“As we enter the Fourth of July weekend to observe the birth of our nation, we do so with increased responsibility to honor the vision of our Founders and to defend our American Democracy.”
Almost 500 arrests. So many videos its hard to remember what each one shows and they still need a special commitee to investigate after 6 months have passed.
You are one stupid dumbass.
The Republicans have tried to block everything on that treasonous event even after they were scared shitless that day.
You and your ilk should be culled from humanity.
Damn, you are a real POS.
“Yesterday, the House established the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Today, I am proud to name Members who will patriotically honor our oath and our responsibility to the American people: to seek the truth.”
What a crock of crap. Can this woman ever tall the truth? We know that last sentence had to burn her throat while choking back her laughter, incredulous that anyone would believe that line of BULLSHIT.
If there is nothing to see, then why are you so afraid to let the process go ahead?
The left has lost their moral compasses. Anything against the Bible and Constitution is acceptable. Therefore, no moment of silence because it equates to religion.
Democrat-controlled cities are descending into craven crime centers, much of the Democratic Party is doubling down on the police-bashing-and-defunding policies that created this anarchy.
The first duty of a government is to protect and defend its citizens, we must be alarmed to consider that the administration is engaged in a multi-pronged strategy to do the opposite. It is shrinking our military, which defends against foreign threats. It is at war with law enforcement, which ensures domestic tranquility, and it is destroying our southern border. It is systematically destroying our liberty and prosperity.
You better move then, comrade.
Sounds fair to me. After all, a certain party scoffed at and voted down an equally seated investigation. I don’t know why McCarthy should get a say in anything at this point.
I remember how members of a certain party always screeched this things very loudly:
“If you’re not guilty why be afraid of investigations?”
“Party of personal responsibilty”
(oh hey we all know the list of hypocricy could go on and on…)
tRump IS the swamp, you’re too brainwashed to realize it. Btw, I see you refuted none of my publicly proven facts but slapped out emotional love for tRump.
Are you certain you even know what the word ‘proven’ means? Wait til the results come out from the Arizona audit, and the tsunami of truth coming next month out of Sioux Falls…you will have an example of ‘proven’ to help you get it..
