McCarthy: ‘I Have Concluded to Not Participate’ with Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Committee
Breitbart ^ | 12 Jan 2022 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Posted on 01/13/2022 4:43:01 AM PST by hamburger hill

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced on Wednesday that he has “concluded to not participate” with Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) January 6 Select Committee.

McCarthy cited Pelosi’s “unprecedented action of rejecting the Republican members” he named to serve on the committee as one of the reasons for his decision.

Because he’s already cooperating with them secretly.

What he means is the investigation of the Epps Rebellion.

And I have concluded that a majority or minority speaker for the Republican Party should not ever be selected from a blue state. That’s you, Kevin.

That committee is just an illegitimate mob of partisan hacks. The right thing to do for anyone called by it is to ignore and refuse to even acknowledge them. If they try to force the issue then tie it up in court until the November elections are over then immediately shut it down when the Dems are out of power.

We've crossed over into dangerous territory when one political party tries to use it's majority status to harass and persecute their political opponents. It's the way banana republics operate. What comes around goes around.

If he had any balls at all he would inform them that if he is chosen as Speaker, the first action he takes will be to haul Pelosi, Schiff, Fat Boy, etc, up on charges and have every thing in their life investigated.

Bingo. This is the biggest case of Kabuki Theater ever. This is just about making Trump toxic for a future run. They got nothing on him.

Legal grounds for refusal to testify:

1. Executive privilege

2. Self incrimination before a Kangaroo court and a biased jury.

Any others?

“If he had any balls at all ... “

There is that word “if” again. Sadly, they’re all in it together. Look at McConnell’s statement about Biden’s speech. It was more disappointment than anger. McConnell wasn’t all that upset about Dems trying to derail the election process as he was that his buddy Joe wasn’t nice to him.

We see that our elected officials don’t care. Many in America don’t. Dem voters want more government, while acknowledging that politicians are a lower form of life. This leaves us in the uncomfortable position where the system will have to crash before anything changes.

Kevin can and will work behind the scenes along with Mitch to make DAMNED SURE President Trump is never permitted into the White House again. THAT is the reason we need a MAGA Party, to hell with the backstabbing GOP.

Stop it troll. Third parties are for fools. Hell, we already have multiple parties, ever look at your presidential ballot troll? There’s many.

Constitution Party
Libertarian Party
Socialist of America

To name just a few.

Which one do you belong to troll?

I see the citizens are starting to clean up the GOPe. We didn’t get here overnight and it’s going to be a tough row to hoe, but it’s going to happen without losing the Republic to-a well organized communist party Hell bent on destroying this country since the dim party was formed. Stupid to think there’s magic in a 3rd party..it’s troll fodder.

If he's really serious then he would expel both Cheney and
Kinzinger from the Republican caucus of course he won't because “principled Republicans” are protected and respected. When it comes to Maga Republicans they are left to take the slings and arrows on their own while the so called party leaders hide or condemn them because this isn't what the Republican party is about. This is a once again how can we fool the rubes to get elected so we can reach across the aisle to get things done for the donors who are more important than our voters. McCarthy sat on his ass so he could get rid of President Trump now he thinks he can come back in 2022 and get a seat at the table and get his share of the wealth. When I see the Republicans put Jim Jordan or someone like him in a leadership position I'm in until then no sale because we've seen this scam before!

Pelosi is not participating. She is off limit by her hand picked Select Committee. They must belong to a Trump Hating Religion to be Select.
