Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday tore into the flimsiness of Republican senators’ argument for opposing the House-passed bill to create a bipartisan commission to probe the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks.
”McConnell reportedly said in private that he opposes any independent inquiry because he’s concerned an investigation could hurt the Republican Party’s ‘midterm election message,’ a sentiment some of his colleagues have already expressed publicly.”
Well, that and the fact that several Republicans in the House and Senate could end up in prison over it.
I expect a lot of republicans to bail when the indictments start dropping. They’ll suddenly realize they need to spend more time with their families.
When your coconspirators are being indicted and are cooperating with the FBI your family time becomes mighty precious.
Senator Manchin, calling Senator Manchin… You’ve heard the nonsense from the Republican side for the umpteenth time. You can’t have it both ways - bipartisanship requires TWO sides willing to honestly participate. Your vote, sir?
