Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Commission was supposed to help Democrats hold onto their slim majority during tough 2022 midterm elections. Instead, it stumbled out of the gate, failed to gain legitimacy among the public, and has been plagued with serious legal and ethical problems.
Pelosi’s decision to politically exploit the riot at the Capitol was a no-brainer. Democrats nearly lost the chamber in 2020 when Democrats took control of the Senate and presidency. The president’s party almost always loses significant numbers of House seats during midterm elections. The only time that didn’t happen in recent history was 2002, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Pelosi understandably felt her best bet to preserve power was, with a massive assist from left-wing media, to somehow turn disgruntled Donald Trump supporters’ riot at the Capitol into the next 9/11.
There were massive problems with the scheme. For one thing, Republicans had immediately and vociferously denounced the riot. This was a far cry from the Summer of Violence, when Democrats and their media enablers cheered as leftist groups destroyed sectors of cities throughout the country, resulting in “some 15 times more injured police officers, 23 times as many arrests, and estimated damages in dollar terms up to 1,300 times more costly than those of the Capitol riot.”
Democrats did not condemn these serious and lengthy attacks on the White House, federal courthouses, police buildings, private businesses, and homes. Instead, they joined with the rioters in calling for the defunding of police and other radical measures.
The riots were the result of a deeply destructive lie, pushed by top Democrats, that the country and its policing are irredeemably evil and racist. What’s more, any and all attempts to quell the siege of federal buildings were condemned in the most hysterical terms by Pelosi and other Democrats.

It failed because dim-0s plotted to attempt to take over the protest by Republicans and turn it into a riot, all for political gain. Hard to prove that we did something when we did not.
I loved someone’s proposal to immortalize this chicanery with a “Janteenth” holiday.
Nancy Pelosi picked up the January 6th issue when it became obvious that the Trump-Russia collusion thing was collapsing.
She will continue hacking at this until the 2024 election.

She will continue hacking at this until the 2024 election, unless they lose the House in the 2022 election. Then it will go quiet.
It failed because it has corrupt intentions which are obvious. Starting with Cheney, who in every interview she mouths “Trump is and evil danger” over and over and over and never answers the question making it all too clear her ONLY motivation is to attack Trump and it has nothing to do with investigating the events of 1/6. people see thru it, she thinks people are dumb.
The Committee’s whole problem is, to be legitimate, it actually has to investigate the 1/6 events, an investigation that would reveal the whole debacle was a Democrat/FBI false flag and entrapment operation. After all, why did Pelosi refuse President Trump’s offer of National Guard troops to protect the Capitol unless she knew that illicit operation was being planned and that the troops would have stopped it???
Fixed it.
It should never have existed, at least not in the super partisan way it was constructed.
It failed because there is nothing to find unless they look into Epps and why signs were allowed to be removed annd why protestors were waived in.
So… the musical interlude by the cast of Hamilton didn’t win you over?
Desperate Dems celebrated Jan 6, deeming it a political windfall for the flailing party’s election chances. It was tinged w/ Hollywood-style touches:
<><>a VP who got her job by sleeping w/ the right people,
<><>an angry political elite,
<><>hatred for ordinary Americans,
<><>boring, bizarre speeches,
<><>a weird musical segment.
And the award goes to Nancy Pelosi for her role in Exploiting Political Opportunism.
