 charlottelarson • May 30, 2021

Democrats say they are reorganizing and seeking the best way to move forward after the
Republicans torpedoed a proposed 9-11-style commission to investigate the US Capitol
attack. According to members, the battle over the committee on January 6 is not over
yet.

Hakeem Jeffries, chairman of New York’s House Democratic Party Caucus, said
Democrats are considering options on CNN’s “program show.”

“We obviously need to understand what happened, why it happened, and how to
prevent it from happening again,” Jeffreys said. “We plan

Attention is the House of Representatives, which teases the idea that Democrats and
some Republicans will set up a special committee to investigate the causes and
consequences of the January 6 incident condemning former President Trump and his
election responsibilities. Moved to Chair Nancy Pelosi. It was stolen.

“The Republican timidity of rejecting the truth of the dark day reduces the security of our
Capitol and our country,” said Pelosi of the Democratic Party of California last week.
“Respecting our responsibility to the parliament we serve and the country we love,
Democrats proceed to find the truth.”

Pelosi issued a statement on Friday after Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell and
the Republican Party blocked the Commission’s proposal.

The Democratic Party failed to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome the Senate
filibuster. Six Republicans — Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill
Cassidy of Luiziana, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Ben Sasse of
Nebraska. He broke up with Republican leaders and upheld the proposal.

Most Republicans opposed the bill, despite a last-minute plea for an independent
investigation from the family of Brian Sicknick, a parliamentary police officer who died
after the parliamentary riots.

The House of Representatives passed a 252 to 175 committee plan last week, with 35
Republicans throwing support behind the bill.

Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul said on Sunday that he voted against the bill
because he felt the Justice Department was the best fit to handle the investigation on
CNN’s “program show.”

“In essence, I don’t think this is an overview of the policies that the 9/11 Commission
did,” McCall said. “It’s a criminal investigation, a criminal case. In my judgment, it’s not a
politically appointed committee, but properly within the scope of the Justice Ministry
where I worked for many years.”

McCall said he was concerned that the commission could be “polluted by politics” and
undermine ongoing investigations.

“My decision is for now. Let’s proceed with this DOJ investigation,” he said. “They have
now arrested more than 400 responsible people. I want the person in charge to be
accountable and in court, and give all the answers to what happened on January 6th. I
want to ask and report it to Congress. “

“We need subpoena authority and we need to get information that isn’t always available
in other investigations,” Jason Crow said in NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“What we really need to know is what Donald Trump was doing hours before the riots.

“What was he talking to and talking to his adviser during the riot? What happened to
that discussion with Kevin McCarthy?” Said the Democratic Party of Colorado. “These are
my own beliefs that we can only overcome them through bipartisan conditions or special
committees with subpoena authority. It is what other agencies and agencies reach. It will
be very difficult. “

Kentucky Republican McConnell offered what was undoubtedly proven to be a deadly


blow to the Commission when he called it a “purely political” move on behalf of the
Democratic Party last week. did.

Mr. Trump also opposed the committee and described it as a “Democratic trap.”

Republican leaders in both houses were concerned that the panel could cloud the party’s
message prior to the 2022 midterm elections.
