Well they tried to have some R’s but they refused to participate, sort of a self fulfilling prophecy

Christie is playing an angle.

If he’s going to run in any capacity, he has to come back to the Center.

Christie checks the polling.

Possibly a good reason for Trump to appear with attorneys in tow. Of course, that depends if this kangaroo court will allow for cross-examination. If not, Mr. President, don’t go.

The problem isn’t “credibility”

The problem is that Bills of Attainder are forbidden in the Constitution.

This is great. I’ll take any puncture in the leftist narrative no matter whom it comes from. They were expecting Liz Cheney.

Unfortunately, the Rules of the House of Representatives (117th Congress) allows Pelosi to do what she did. (Underlining mine)

RULE I
The Speaker

Committee appointment
11. The Speaker shall appoint all select, joint, and conference committees ordered by the House. At any time after an original appointment, the Speaker may remove Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner from, or appoint additional Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner to, a select or conference committee. In appointing Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner to conference committees, the Speaker shall appoint no less than a majority who generally supported the House position as determined by the Speaker, shall name those who are primarily responsible for the legislation, and shall, to the fullest extent feasible, include the principal proponents of the major provisions of the bill or resolution passed or adopted by the House.

Pelosi rejected McCarthy's picks and substituted her own. Where she violated the "spirit of the rule" was in removing any opponents like Jim Jordan and Jim Banks and replaced him with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who were hardly opponents.

Pelosi will argue that she complied with "no less than a majority who generally supported the House position," and that McCarthy's picks were going to be disruptive, despite that being what "minority" members are expected to do.

Republicans like Christie are arguing that Pelosi didn't follow the "spirit" of the rule by appointing "no less than a majority who generally supported the House position," she appointed a 100% majority that supported the House position.

A committee made up of 100% ahos. Haters. They are the ones who need to be put in jail. The J6 lynch mob “committee” is made up of the maggots who are committing insurrection. Retarded, greedy Swamp politicians who will attempt to lynch anyone who comes after their corrupt system.

That is more defense than Mike Pence ever gave President Trump. He keeps defending his action of rubber stamping the elections as Constitutional, but still allow this kangaroo court to allow and attack President Trump.

The Democrats will be frantic to cheat in next months election.

They cannot afford the tables to be turned on them.

Yes, you’re right. Sadly, Chris has no moral compass.

The essence of liberal debating style.

And Stephanopolous still has one of the most punchable faces on TV, IMO.
