House Dems Launch Probe Into Capitol Attack, Pelosi Suggests Republican Lawmakers Could Face ‘Criminal Charges’
The Daily Wire ^ | Jan 17, 2021 | Emily Zanotti

Four prominent Democrats announced Saturday that they plan to launch a joint investigation into intelligence and planning failures that may have led to an attack on the United States Capitol that took place on January 6th.

The four committee chairs — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), House Oversight Committee Chairman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). and House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) — will also be looking into whether members of the GOP assisted the Capitol rioters.

As the Daily Wire reported last week, New Jersey Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill and others claimed that “Republican Congressional colleagues led people through the United States Capitol last Tuesday on what appeared to be a ‘reconnaissance’ mission ahead of Wednesday’s attack.” Sherrill led a group of lawmakers in demanding that the Capitol Police and other federal law enforcement agencies look into the possibility that rioters had inside help.

“I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him, those members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on Jan. 5 for reconnaissance for the next day,” Sherrill said in a Facebook Live event. “Those members of Congress who incited the violent crowd. Those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy, I’m going see that they’re held accountable.”

Neither Sherrill nor any of the other 29 signatories referred to any Republican by name, nor did they provide specific evidence of their claims. Previous reports have suggested that several Republican lawmakers communicated with organizers of the January 6th rally, but those reports have yet to be substantiated.

QUESTION: WHO IS GIVING THE ORDERS TO MILITARIZE DC?

Biden is not yet C-in-C. So, WHO IS GIVING THE ORDERS??

30K troops don’t move without official orders.

WHO IS GIVING THE ORDERS?

C’on Nancy, give it a rest. Why don’t you do something productive for a change...something that helps all US citizens, not just the Democrat ones.

Don’t think they are going to stop there do you?

She is out of her mind. Time to haul her away in a straightjacket before she kills us all.

This is sad news.

I reluctantly conclude that there is only one way out of this. I was hoping some measure of rationality and cooler heads would prevail, but alas. The country is in for a very difficult time. We apparently don’t learn from history.

The Tree of Liberty is thirsty.

Evidence? We don’t need no stinking evidence! Besides, it’s the seriousness of the charge that’s important.

Excellent question.

And the cost! 30k troops housed somewhere don’t come cheap!

I just saw an article the other day about the top 32 programs the Army has are going the chopping block. What will survive?

I hope they do. Washington Republicans need to feel the effects of what they have done by allowing this election to be stolen.

Cowardly Republicans who could have stopped this mistakenly believed they could just let it go and everything would go back as it was. They thought we'll let them steal the election and if anything really bad starts to happen we can put the brakes on then. WRONG!.

Tyranny often takes years of preparation but once all the boxes are checked it moves like a tsunami.

Good question.

If it’s Pence, it’s above his pay grade with a living
sitting president.

So the Dems think they’re just going to remove all the Republicans? Or is it to financially ruin them.
