Now that Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate President Trump for the Mar-a-Lago documents and his role in the events of January 6, shouldn't the Republican led Congress KEEP the January 6 Committee?
Of course, the Mar-a-Lago documents are a JOKE since the Washington Post just admitted that there are no very sensitive documents and they even claimed Trump kept them for reasons of ego but nothing nefarious.
As far as President Trump's role in January 6, it seems there is a bit of double jeopardy here since wasn't he already tried for his during his Second Impeachment trial in the Senate? Okay, leaving that aside, the best way for MAGA to push back is to investigate what REALLY happened on January 6 by KEEPING the January 6 Committee. Merrick Garland wants to investigate Trump's role in January 6? Okay, let the NEW January 6 Committee investigate the role of the FBI and/or other intelligence committees into their roles on January 6. That would also include an investigation into the pipe bomber on the night on January 5 and why, despite video evidence and pings emitted from the pipe bomber's cell phone, the FBI still hasn't found him.
I know the general consensus was that the GOP would let the January 6 Committee expire when they took control of Congress but this appointment of a Special Counsel changes everything.
The DOJ will demand all the current J6 evidence and will put a lid on any other J6 investigation.
