(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to appoint a select committee to investigate the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol after Senate Republicans blocked the creation of an independent commission to probe the insurrection, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Pelosi announced Tuesday evening to the House's Steering and Policy Committee that she will create a select committee, the sources said. She told Democrats the January 6 inquiry will be a "pursuit of truth" investigation, according to one source who heard her remarks.
 
One of the sources said Pelosi indicated she believes a regular standing committee of several dozen members just would not work, and notes the House has already given the Senate several weeks to get a bill on an independent commission passed and that has not happened.
 
Pelosi later denied that she had made a decision. "No, I did not make that announcement. Somebody put out a false report," she told reporters.
 
After CNN and numerous news outlets reported on her decision her spokesman, Drew Hammill, later tweeted, "Clarification on tonight's meeting of the Steering and Policy Committee. Speaker Pelosi told Members she plans to announce WHETHER she will create a select committee THIS WEEK. Her preference continues to be a bipartisan commission which Senate Republicans are blocking."
However, CNN stands by its reporting and the sources who confirmed her initial remarks.

Just keep asking about Babbitt. She will drop it. She is using a select people to get what she wants. Lies and she will push them. Next will be to attempt to prosecute Trump.

The question is, “Who will chair: Schiff or Nadler?”

We already know the “truth” they plan to narrate.

She already has the conclusion they want.

She just wants to record some fabricated testimony to support it.

Of course they will, and it’s to prove the their predetermined opinion is correct.

That is a flat out lie. They’ll cover up the FBI’s involvement in inciting people to riot. F’ them all.

“ Because she can’t get a joint committee.”
——————————————————————-

Also, they have nothing to run on in 2022.

Covid is a losing venture as even Leftist are tired of it.

The Economy is junk. The Democrat killer monster Inflation is here and will be obvious by Fall of 2022.

Can’t run against guns because even liberals are buying guns and the polls are against any new gun grab laws.

Running with Biden’s endorsement is worthless as he’s being exposed as a moron.

The things they can normally use as a platform are radioactive for them.
Issues like Illegal Immigration, crime, and women’s rights (which was toss aside by gay and transgender rights).

So, Nancy is showing their hand IMO. They’re running on evil right wing white supremacist.
2022 is gonna be the last of Pelosi.
