Pelosi to offer even split on 9/11-style commission to probe Capitol riot
By Rebecca Beitsch - 04/21/21 10:05 AM EDT
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has offered a plan for a bipartisan 9/11-style commission to review the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, backtracking from an earlier proposal that would have allowed Democrats to appoint the majority of the commission’s members.
A source familiar with the discussions told The Hill Pelosi briefed members of her leadership team on the proposal Monday night after efforts to create the commission stalled in the months following the attack.
Pelosi’s plans were first reported by CNN.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for such a commission in the wake of the attack that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer.
A similar commission established following the 9/11 terrorist attacks had five Democrats and five Republicans on a panel designed "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks."
But the 11-member committee originally proposed by Pelosi in February would have allowed seven members to be appointed by Democrats compared to just four by Republicans.

Even split on an 11 man commission? Math sure a'int her strong suit huh?
Shouldn't be hard to find "5 1/2" RINOs in that cast of clowns.

The Rs must insist that 50% of voting members be Rs and that those members have equal subpoena power, with no Dem able to quash Rs' subpoenas or silence Rs' witnesses, or zero R participants. Either Pelosiroo, Scgifftyroo, and other kangaDems are completely denied their desired Kangaroo Kourt or Rs refuse to dignify it by participating.

Pelosi is suggesting a commission on Tessio's turf, where Republicans think they will be safe.

Since when are democrat appointed investigations/commissions not set up as kangaroo courts. Pure partisan politics Pelosi has control of events. Just another partisan lynchin by democrats who will proudly declare fair after the farce ends. They can't change their ways, even to national/world embarrassments of how shameless they are, endlessly.

The Pubbies should refuse to participate in this "commission" at all.

Will Pelosi ever step down? She's becoming more and more destructive.
