How Mitch McConnell killed the US Capitol attack commission

Days before the Senate voted down the creation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Capitol attack, the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, was adamant: he would oppose the bill, regardless of any amendments – and he expected his colleagues to follow suit.

The commission that would have likely found Donald Trump and some Republicans responsible for the insurrection posed an existential threat to the GOP ahead of the midterms, he said, and would complicate efforts to regain the majority in Congress.

McConnell’s sharp warning at a closed-door meeting had the desired effect on Friday, when Senate Republicans largely opted to stick with the Senate minority leader. All but six of them voted to block the commission and prevent a full accounting into the events of 6 January.

But it also underscored the alarm that gripped McConnell and Senate Republican leadership in the fraught political moments leading up to the vote, and how they exploited fears within the GOP of crossing a mercurial former president to galvanize opposition to the commission.

The story of how Republicans undermined an inquiry into one of the darkest days for American democracy – five people died as a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol and sought to hang Mike Pence – is informed by eight House and Senate aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.............

Perhaps ... but I thought that there was a similar investigation already on the Capitol attack??

There was no attack, there was no insurgency,  only by ANTIFA/BLM...who set this up, wearing TRUMP gear.    One person died because of this.  A woman, white Veteran, UNARMED,  peeking through a little window.  Capitol cop Michael Leroy Byrd, black,  shot her in the neck.  He needs to come up on charges.  This was PURE MURDER, not like all the thugs with priors who BLM adores and thinks they were saints. George Fentanyl Floyd.   BYRD IS ALSO A MEMBER OF BLM.

Leave it to The Guardian to get the story wrong, of course.  Why not?  None of the so-called media in the US have a clue, either.

The fake commission was rejected because the goal of the fake commission was not to identify security issues and correct them, but to be yet another chapter in the Permanent Committee To Impeach Trump Until They Succeed.

The instigators of the Capitol Intrusion were....the guards in the Capitol who opened the magnetically sealed security doors.    Someone gave them orders to open the doors.    Someone ordered them to fire on the unarmed crowd.   

The Rodents aren't going to investigate that.

The international terrorist groups Aunty Fa and (b)LM were involved in organizing the first phase of the Intrusion.   The Rodents use Aunty Fa and (b)LM as their street army, the exact modern equivalent, for the same purpose, as the Sturmabteilung of the National Socialist German Worker's Party of the 1920's and 30's.

The Guardian should try to either get the story straight or stfu.  Either way, I'm not clicking the link.

Agree.  Guardian is from UK, I believe,  and a real, lying, leftist rag.  Muslims write for them.

And there you have it.

Showing no original thought,or even any thought at all,the "brains" behind this are following the steps taken by both the Communist Party and their, pre-WW-2 allies,the Nazi Party,who overthrew their respective countries and installed police states.

@LegalAmerican

The Mayor of London is a Muslim,and IIRC,there are Muslim areas in London now where Sharia Law is the law of the land.

Save your money, the Guardian does not need anything to be more left.

re-written to reflect reality; 

How Mitch McConnell killed the US Capitol attack commission that was as usual by democrats providing false accusations and evidence in an attempt to lynch a former Republican President.
For all the criminalities the democrats have gotten involved in trying to lynch this President and failed in many felonies attempts they engaged in to GET HIM.  HOW MANY TRIES DO THEY GET ?

They treat these fake Commissions as an alternative to their method of stealing an election.

They will demand recounts forever until they've counted enough votes to win, then demand that the recounts are now perfect and shut them down.

Same for fake commissions.   Keep the bogus investigations going until the goal is reached.   Also known as "How To Keep Sarah Palin Out of The White House Method".
