Representative Jim Banks), one of the two GOP lawmakers blocked by Speaker Nancy Pelosi from serving on the January 6 Select Committee, said on this week’s “Fox News Sunday” that the Speaker was trying to avoid questions about her responsible for the “breakdown of security” that allowed for the storming the Capitol.
Banks said, “It’s more clear than ever that Nancy Pelosi is not interested in investigation. She’s only interested in a narrative. She claims the reason that she booted me from the committee was because of antics on the part of Jim Jordan and I. In hindsight, what I realize what she means by that now is that we were prepared to ask questions that no one else has asked and demand answers as to why the Capital was vulnerable to an attack on January 6th? Why was there a systemic breakdown of security at the Capitol on January 6th? That’s all that this comes down to."
Banks added, “Here’s the bottom line: Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, has more control and authority, and responsibility over the leadership of the Capitol Police than anyone else in the United States Capitol. So she doesn’t want us to ask these questions because, at the end of the day, she is ultimately responsible for the breakdown of security at the capitol that happened on January 6.”

I think we all know, that Democrats want a kangaroo court inquiry into the events of January 6th. They want a conclusion that Trump instigated what was an intended coup to overthrow the government. They want no inquiries into issues such as Capitol security measures, or law enforcement response to the events.
I think the conclusions of the inquiry have already been written up. They will just be tweaked a bit, based on some additional information received that supports the overall narrative that Trump incited insurrection. Any additional information received in hearings or other means which contradicts the official narrative, will be quashed. I think we all know that.
Weird how she vanished during the proceedings thar day about 5 minutes before the breach. Almost like her team had advance knowledge. 😱😬
This is akin to allowing the accused to hand-pick their own jury.
Thank you. I’ve been saying for months that Nancy wants to stone-wall and whitewash it.
seems to me Trump’s offer to bring in the National Guard militaries against his trying to start an insurrection? Not to me toon the paucity of firearms....
Why is a he the only person who can expose her involvement? Seems he could pass it along to those who Pelosi agreed to have on the committee. Basically what he is saying is no one else in the Republican caucus has the sense to question and introduce evidence.
The mafia gets to investigate itself.
Since Nancy decided she would appoint a few Gop Rinos, no questions that exonerate any one will be asked.
Calling Captain Obvious!
I know what I am going to say is expected, but it is more than that.
I have NO INTEREST IN JAN 6, except to have those political prisoners that the corrupt FBI is holding in prison...
TO BE RELEASED...RELEASE THE HOSTAGES.
Nasty can be on her commission 24/7 on every media available and I will not watch.
Nancy Pelosi is not in the least interested in an actual investigation. The objective here is to cover up as much incriminating evidence as possible, and further shift the blame onto Trump and his supporters.
Adolf Hitler’s followers in the Reich after the Reichstag Fire incident proceeded on much the same kind of “investigation”. Any contradictory evidence was absolutely suppressed, and the blame was shifted entirely to one simpleton, Marinus van der Lubbe, who was a Dutch communist. He was tried, convicted and executed for setting fire to the German Reichstag. The four other defendants (Ernst Torgler, Georgi Dimitrov, Blagoi Popov, and Vasil Tanev) were acquitted.
The Communist revolution in America is progressing as it must, financial destruction, imprisonments, negate the families, cancel cultural history, outright lying, illegal elections and judicial compliance. They have done it elsewhere before. Now its going to go global as it must if America fails to stop this juggernaut. This is our turn in the barrel.
Republicans still seem slow to realizing what’s in the democrats playbook.
The “siege” was staged.
Thoughts on the political persecution... to coerce the actors into making false statements in front of Congress.
Pelosi was black out drunk on January 6th.
Not the accused...
the prosecution.
The questions about Jan. 6 that no one else has asked
<><>why the Capital was vulnerable to an attack on January 6th?
<><>Why was there a systemic breakdown of security at the Capitol?
Here’s the bottom line:
Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, has more control and authority, and responsibility over the leadership of the Capitol Police than anyone else in the United States Capitol.
So she doesn’t want us to ask these questions because, at the end of the day, she is ultimately responsible for the breakdown of security at the capitol that happened on January 6.
Well, congressman Banks, I would not trust any commission that fails to investigate the role that MAGA gear wearing BLM, Antifa and FBI instigators had in the entire “riot.”
Or were they the cause of the entire incident?
And who killed Ashli Babbitt? Say her name!
That really falls on the Minority Leader. Is there no one else who can ask a question? Or is about getting the right guys to get the desired theatrics? Because if the caucus has no one else who can pose good questions then we are hurting.
