Without knowing every detail here, I will say this: Having some sort of commission is probably the only way to get a public airing of what really happened. Without one, we will only get the alphabet soup narrative regurgitated by the MSM. It could be Congressional hearings, or it could be a commission such as this one. Or others. But something needs to be done, and done publicly.
I have joked about this commission, such as “will they confirm the lone gunman theory”? Because afaik, there was only one gunman. He was a cop who shot in cold blood what appeared to be a peacefully behaving woman who’s only real crime appeared to be trespassing. If that, because we still don’t know if the Capitol Police invited her inside. He’s been exonerated by the DOJ in quick fashion, while hundreds others are locked up without bail for what appear to be mostly minor crimes. Rapists and arsonists and child-porn distributors get bail release. To keep the narrative alive, these people are being deprived of their 8th Amendment rights.
There are still a huge number of people who think 5 people were killed that day. It is wrong. Only one person was killed, and she appeared to have been killed in cold blood. A few hooligans did some minor damage. Does not justify shooting her.
Questions need to be asked and answered. Was the Capitol open? Who opened the doors? Were they invited in by the guards/Capitol police? Many more such questions need to be asked and answered. Whether this ‘commission’ will do an honest and fair job, well, that’s another matter altogether.
Nice to hear someone else realize this can be good, formally detailing everything that happened - that only a few even vaguely resembled “insurrection”, and a handful of jerks with sticks and zip ties isn’t one. Handled right, this could hugely backfire on the Left. Document police opening doors, alleged mobs politely walking slowly as directed by velvet ropes, and otherwise prove the incident was “mostly peaceful”.

How did impeachment 1 and 2 go? Trump was punching bag and the useless GOP did not use their power to score points. Another show trial AKA January 6th “commission” wouldn’t be any better. Probably worse with Pelosi in charge.
