With 9/11-Style Commission Stalled, Pelosi Plans Completely Partisan Probe of Capitol Riot
With her pipe dream of launching a bipartisan “independent 9/11-type commission” to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol foiled, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) is reportedly moving on to a “Plan B” that won’t require Republican cooperation.
The House speaker is said to be making arrangements for an entirely partisan probe to unearth the secret influences that she believes led to the incident, which Democratic lawmakers view as an attempted insurrection and a domestic terror attack instigated by former President Donald Trump.
In the new plan, according to Politico, Pelosi aims to effectively cut Republican influence out of the process by “tapping three House committees, run by Democrats, to do their own probe of how a violent, pro-Trump mob managed to overwhelm police and terrorize legislators.”
So much for bipartisanship. Though it should be noted Pelosi’s draft proposal for the grand commission would have given Democrats a 7-4 majority on the investigatory panel, anyway. In addition to that, Republicans in Congress suspected from the start that any 9/11-style commission into the incident spearheaded by Democrats would quickly turn into a political witch hunt.
