Few Republican Defections As House Passes Jan. 6 Select Committee

Defections! Right…the very fate of the Republic on the line and these assholes could care less! There is little doubt about what happened on Jan.6…who was behind it and how the incident took shape. We can hope the truth is somehow gleaned from the rats nest of available information and people testifying under oath…the stonewalling by the nothing- but- excuses GQP IS infuriating and disgraceful …you would love to see these people pay a price for their cowardice.

I think the issue is that a Commission has to be approved by both the House and Senate and if the GOP are going to filibuster anything that comes their way, Rep. Pelosi’s only option is the House-only Select Committee.

Oh my. Oh my. Oh my.

Every voter with a ballot in this so called recount should be aware of this regardless of stripe. This isn’t even funny anymore.

GOP: “A select committee is partisan. We need a bipartisan investigation… or nothing!”

DEM: “But you voted against having a bipartisan commission.”

GOP: “Exactly!”

Pelosi needs to tell McCarthy and state so publicly that she will not allow ANY Republican House member who voted to overturn any state result on June 6 to serve on this committee since they could face expulsion based on the select committee’s findings. Let the Rs chew on that one for a while.

Great song! Have to admit that having only listened to their recordings, ToP is a little more melanin-challenged than I thought!

Kind of like AWB :laughing:

The mob of insurrectionists was looking to harm or kill Republicans and Democrats. It seems Republicans have forgotten that. You know the group shouting “Hang Mike Pence.” With few exceptions none of them were safe. All but two of them care.

When they showed the films of the camps at the Nuremberg Trials it was game over. The video of the Jan. 6th insurrection can have the same effect.

WTF. This is a national election they’re fucking with, flaunting any number of federal regulations, if not laws. Where the hell is DoJ?

Normally so, but they can also be created by House Resolution according to House Practice: A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House - Chapter 11. Committees

You want him extradited?

He’s already been found GUILTY of war crimes by an International Tribunal.

By Charles P. Pierce

Jun 1, 2015, Esquire

In what is the first ever conviction of its kind anywhere in the world, the former US President and seven key members of his administration were… found guilty of war crimes. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were tried in absentia in Malaysia…At the end of the week-long hearing, the five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered guilty verdicts against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their key legal advisors who were all convicted as war criminals for torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. Full transcripts of the charges, witness statements and other relevant material will now be sent to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as well as the United Nations and the Security Council.

I’m sure Rummy is enjoying his new life in death.
