The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol escalated its clash with Republican lawmakers on Monday, recommending a formal ethics inquiry into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and other top allies of former President Trump for their refusal to cooperate with the probe.
The recommendations to the House Ethics Committee mark a milder step than the criminal referrals to the Justice Department that the select committee made Monday against Trump and several members of the former president’s inner circle for their role in the Capitol riot.
But as a political matter, the ethics complaints will shine a bright light on the actions of McCarthy and three other prominent House Republicans — Reps. Jim Jordan (Ohio), Scott Perry (Pa.) and Andy Biggs (Ariz.) — in the lead-up to and the aftermath of the attack. Those actions ranged from attending Jan. 6 planning meetings with Trump at the White House, as Jordan had done, to having conversations with the then-president in the midst of the riot, as McCarthy had done.

If McCarthy allows a single one of these clowns on any committee while he’s Speaker then he’s a complete moron.
L
Ask yourself: With the vote on speakership coming up on Jan. 3rd, whose image as a conservative does this help?
didn’t scalise go through a year of ethics cr..
They weren’t aloud to participate on the commission and then there is a problem because supposedly they weren’t co-operating. Say one thing about these communists, they have absolutely no shame and there are no low points that they won’t sink to.
He should be holding a press conference in the next hour to rebut these buttheads, otherwise he's a maroon.
Since they’re going after Republicans I hope they don’t forget Liz Cheney!
Will McCarthy grow a spine? I HOPE SO, but I doubt it. He will probably put his tail between his legs and whimper.
House Ethics Committee?
Moot at some point in January.
Let the Hounds of Lawfare loose!
When you have Total Media Supremacy you can get away with things like this.
Yup- and starting J3, look for any and every ethics violations on these clowns as is relevant to the J6 clown show, and launch ethic complaint after ethic complaint.
“Power, By Any Means Necessary”
having conversations with the then-president in the midst of the riot, as McCarthy had done.
= = =
Trump sent out a tweet to go home and be peaceful.
So everyone who read that, had a conversation with the then-president?
Liz Cheney is mental.
I wish they were communists. Then at least there is a comprehensible political, economic andcsocial theory to debate and counter. These Dems have gone beyond Communism. They’ve gone beyong even Orwell’s Big Brotherism. They are solely interested in the power to coerce behavior of the people and they have agreed to uncreate history, recreate the meaning of language and words, and have managed, without a physical revolution, to empower the govt to deny people their liberties, to indoctrinate their children, to isolate and imprison their opponents and to do so while the Constitution is seemingly still in effect. Lenin would be amazed. Hitler would say “Well done!!”.

From: Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy
To: Department of Justice, Attorney General Merrick Garland
Dear AG Garland,
I am writing this to inform you that the criminal referral sent to you by the January 6th Committee is being retracted due to numerous errors and mistakes, and, due to the fact the committee was assembled against the rules of the House of Representatives. All work product from this committee is null and void.
In addition, we ask that you please disregard any communications from Committee Members, as that committee has been dissolved.
Sincerely yours,
Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House
Bye-bye Lizzie.
Salt the ground Mr. McCarthy.
