Pelosi: "Strong interest" in Congress for 9/11-style commission to investigate Capitol attack
CNN ^ | Jan 15, 2021 | Adrienne Vogt

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she has asked Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré “to lead an immediate review of security infrastructure, interagency processes and command and control” at the Capitol complex following last week's deadly attack.

"We must subject this whole complex to scrutiny in light of what happened and the fact that the inauguration is coming," Pelosi said.

Pelosi also said there is "strong interest" in Congress for creating a 9/11- style commission to investigate the siege.

"Members are moving forward with strong oversight from committees of course to have after action review. There is strong interest in the Congress in a 9/11-type commission – an outside commission to conduct that after action review. In the meantime I’m very grateful for Gen. Honoré for taking on this responsibility,” she said.

Yeah let’s find out why Capitol Hill security wasn’t increased after FBI reports warned of possible violence. Who issued the stand down order?

yep, 9/11 lost 2,977 US citizens, the Jan 6 'riot' had 5 casualties

1 heart attack
1 stroke
1 crushed by crowd
1 possibly hit by fire extinguisher, but no indication of physical injury found yet
1 shot possibly by White House 'security' type person.

The only 'armed' in this armed insurrection as described by hag pelosi were the law enforcement and White House security.

They will investigate until they find out antifa infiltrated the protest and started the violence and the investigation will disappear.

Just a “commission” to erase evidence of BLM antifa marxists inciting the violence and blaming Trump for everything. All with recommendations that deTrumpification purge takes place.

How many investigations did linda graham promise?

Every time you turned around he was promising something. Then he got re-elected and turned democrat again. He’ll stay that way until 6 months before re-election time when he’ll get conservative again.

Not to worry. The fix is in, and the antifa scum will be re-branded as conservative Trump supporters.

I’m 100% certain she has that angle covered.

They might as well save everyone's time and money, because everyone knows what the findings will be.

Just like I was telling my wife..uh...Morgan Fairchild..whom I have seen naked! It was all TRUMP'S fault. Yeah, that's the ticket!

No further proof is needed that the riots in seattle, portland and minneappolis were planned and implemented by the democrat party.

All political Stalinesque play. The Dems lost too much seats in the House and they know they will lose more in 2 years so they are now trying to remove some opposition in the form of pro-Trump members.

Will she be able to hide her involvement? Or protect other democrats with a commission? Slow down the FBI or derail their investigation completely?

You answered your own question, yes. Otherwise she would not do it.

The DC chaos showed the deep state as utterly toothless in matters of security and stupid beyond belief in matters of intelligence.

America’s enemies took note and are licking their chops.

This commission farce is Pelosi and her congressional mice begging the idiot deep state for protection. Prepare for soap opera tears to be shed by the gallon and diaper sales to sky rocket in DC. This imminent comedy will be well worth your popcorn purchase.

Isn’t Gen. Honore the “stuck on stupid” guy from the Hurricane Katrina aftermath?

Another blue ribbon commission that will whitewash the evidence and exonerate everyone.
