Pelosi abandons idea of having Biden establish a January 6 commission

FTA:

 

The bigger problem with a presidential commission is the fact that Congress would need to approve funding and subpoena authority for the effort. If they couldn’t get the Senate to approve the creation of such a commission themselves, they clearly weren’t going to find 60 votes to pay for Biden’s. And without subpoena authority, any reluctant parties could simply refuse to participate, turning the entire thing into a dog and pony show.

 

So what options does the Speaker have left? Her preferred choice is to “give the Senate another chance” to get behind the idea. (Good luck with that.) Assuming that doesn’t happen, she’s left with leaving the investigation inside of the House. If she appoints a new temporary committee specific to the task it will end up appearing as much of a partisan affair as if Joe Biden had done it.

 

The final and probably best option is to just let the committees that are already investigating the incident with the participation of both parties get on with their work. The House Homeland Security Committee has been collecting information and delving into the attack ever since the streets were cleared on January 6th and they seem well equipped to the task. There will be a report when they finish and it will have the imprimatur of being signed off on by both Republican and Democratic participants.

 

So why wasn’t that taken as the best option from the beginning of this debate? I’m sure you can guess. It would lack the gauzy spectacle of a media circus where CNN and MSNBC could cover every speech and the testimony of every witness, reminding everyone of how terrible the Bad Orange Man was as we navigate our way toward the midterms. Letting some House committee conduct an internal investigation behind closed doors doesn’t deliver nearly enough political juice.

Hey, move to Russia where the party in power labels opposition "extremist" and bans the opposition members from holding office.  How long before you start calling for this?  The Russians suck, until they have good ideas, amirite?

When was the klan run by a Black/Hispanic guy? Stop being so proud of your ignorance. I will never be a proud boy but to compare them to the klan is either ignorant or disengenous.

Tell me where the Washington post has lied. 

 

And your weak little ass shouldn't be calling anyone ignorant. You look up. You are talking up. Above yourself.

The commission is all they have left after the shitshow Biden's admin has become.  The funniest thing is, even if they create one, no one will be distracted.

Washington post has stated 1.75 trillion is bigger than 1.9 trillion many times.
