Nancy Pelosi just doomed the already tiny chances of the 1/6 committee actually mattering
CNN ^ | July 21, 2021 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 07/21/2021 2:40:09 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

If you ever held any hope that the House select committee on the January 6 US Capitol riot might produce a report that would help us understand what happened in the lead-up to that day and, in so doing, provide us avenues to keeping it from happening again, you should give up on those hopes now.

The reason? Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision Wednesday to reject two of the five nominees -- Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana -- put forward by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to serve on the panel.......

This isn't true, of course. There's zero evidence that suggests Pelosi or Democrats did anything wrong in advance of or during the January 6 riot, which was incited by former President Donald Trump. But Pelosi has handed Republicans a golden issue to rev up their base in advance of the 2022 midterms -- and you can bet they will use it.

"which was incited by former President Donald Trump. "

At least CNN figured Nancy screwed up.

Other than those thousands of hours of videos she won't let us see.

“Cillizza is one of the slimiest of the Ministry of Propaganda operatives.”

Isn’t he the snowflake who got the vapors when he shot a .223, an event so traumatic to him that he had to seek the comfort of the fainting couch?

Her kabuki is exactly as scripted.

Using Sleaze-a is hilarious. This dude is first on CNN's cut list.

"Both men would have, at every turn, sought to turn the tables on Democrats -- using the platform provided by the committee to push debunked claims about Antifa's involvement in the Capitol riot, questioning Democratic leadership's readiness for just such an attack and trying to broaden the committee's mandate to cover the Black Lives Matter protests of summer 2020."

As Sleaze-a knows, Nancy's exposure is much deeper than that, and does not want this Committee anywhere near the cameras.

What they could have done, what they should have done, is point out that 30+ members of Nancy's USCP are under indictment or investigation for colluding with the tourists; or how about the inexplicable subsequent suicides of USCP veteran Officers Howie Liebengood and Jeffrey Smith; or better yet, how about Representative Jim Jordan calling Lt. Michael Byrd to testify!

Meanwhile, note that Sleaze-a had to correct his own poorly-written story. Maybe he was busy running out the center field exit at the Nationals after shitting his pants lofl...

"CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated in one instance how Pelosi responded to the nominations of Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks to serve on the select committee; she rejected them."

No, it’s the fraction of Trump’s IQ represented by the sum of the IQs of all the Democrat members.

Why did Pelosi and Bowser decline the request for reinforcements asked for by the capitol police? What role did the FBI have in instigating the riot? Democrat militias, Antifa and BLM, were caught on tape breaching the capitol, escalating violence as they do in all riots. So not zero evidence.

Sleazy gives away the game before it begins.

The chances of Pelozi’s 1/6 committee mattering are smaller than the chances of dying from covid.

This was a forgone conclusion that this was going to be a blue ribbon panel with a whole lot of folks wearing kabuki masks dressed up for a cotillion dance for woke debutantes.
The Wikipedia entry on Hillary Clinton’s accomplishments will tell more truth than the conclusions from the house 1/6 investigation.
