Republicans abandon Capitol riot probe after Pelosi rejects Jordan, Banks
Reuters ^ | 07/21/21 | Reuters

The top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday withdrew his five nominees to serve on the special committee probing the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol after Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of them.

Pelosi had earlier rejected Representatives Jim Jordan and Jim Banks, staunch defenders of former President Donald Trump, from serving on the panel investigating the Trump supporters who assaulted Congress in an attempt to stop it from certifying President Joe Biden's election.

The violence followed a fiery speech in which Trump repeated his false claims that his defeat was the result of widespread fraud and urged his supporters to "fight" the election outcome.

You betcha Trump's claims were false, and that is why the Dims are doing everything in their power to ensure there are no interlocutors on the panel which may ask embarrassing questions or who will seek suppressed information. Only obedient minions like Liz Cheney may apply.

Reuters sucks worse than the AP in Nazi Germany in the 30s and 40s. One day people will use Itar Tass, Pravda, AP, and Reuters all the same sentence. Oh wait, they already do. It will just be universally - a given.

A basic truism of Logic 101 is you can’t prove a negative. So of course the Leftist media is asserting this. The main political reporter for the Atlanta paper did this recently as well, same statement.

When their defense for all the proof that’s out there is to declare “it’s a false claim” shows you how scared they are of the truth.

I m not sure the rats 🐀 are scared of anything. They seem to get away with everything they do. As far as I know, only one rat 🐀 bastard, the FISA dude, got a slap on the wrist. Other than that, no one has done hard time. I know they don’t want the truth to come out, but I am not sure they are afraid of it either, because they are confident they will never stand tall in front of the man.

Hmmm..only people remotely associated with Trump have gone to jail.
Mostly for process crimes.
Noone on either side has been arrested for a actual crime?

Hmmmm. Could it be possible, that pretty much only rats 🐀 get away with crimes? That couldn’t possibly happen in America, could it? Well, yes, it could, and it does. One of these days. Do I need the sarcasm tag?

“..deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol”

The language keeps getting more and more ominous leading up to their “hearings”. Again, we had deadly riots all summer long...where were democrat representatives? Cheering and egging it on, telling the rioters their actions weren’t enough and not to stop.

If you ever want to know how far this nation has fallen, just watch CSpan for the daily talking points from the “Progressives “ The Left sends out the Memo and they swallow it hook, line and sinker. The leftist callers never seem to question the narrative. Enjoy the Decline.

The Republicans best course at this point may be:
Do not socialize with Democrats. If possible, shun them.
Do not cooperate in any way with Democrats
Oppose Democrats on every issue

I expect Liz Cheney to volunteer to serve anyway so Pelosi can claim it’s “bipartisan.”
