You're thinking of the multiple Benghazi investigations that never troubled you enough to comment on.

Republicans were offered a seat at the table for the January 6th commission and refused. The degree to which it is partisan is entirely of their own making.

In fact, its even worse than that. The people they offered up to serve on the committee were all members who were not only going to be called to testify, they were ones that are highly likely to be facing indictments, especially that scumbag sexual abuse enabler Gym Jordan. Kevin McCarty deliberately proposed members that he knew perfectly well were unacceptable. Its not too hard to figure out that Jordan's entire purpose on the committee would have been to stir up as much trouble as possible and to leak information back to McCarthy in order to undermine the committee's work. Anyone who doesn't understand this is too ******* stupid and naive for words!!

Furthermore, the committee IS bipartisan, it has two Republican members of the House, pretty much the ONLY Republican members who are capable of being honest about January 6.

I don't understand how purchasing hair dye is a misuse of the organization’s funds. Would you want your fellow insurrectionists prancing around in their god-given hair color? How does that further the cause?

But why the expensive real hair dye when he could have just borrowed Giuliani's mascara?
 
Capitol rioters called Nancy Pelosi's office looking for a 'lost and found' for items they left behind on January 6, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin
As crews cleaned the US Capitol on January 7, 2021, the phone lines in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office began to ring.

Rioters were calling "asking whether there was a lost and found because they forgot their phone there, or they left their purse or what have you," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told Insider on Friday in a Q&A.

Police officers quickly took down information from the callers, Raskin said.

As for bipartisan, there's a reason Cheney held such a high position among the GOP legislators. She had an almost perfect record voting for right-wing positions on legislation.

Much as I don't agree with any of those positions, she has shown incredible integrity, something the GOP pretends to value.

No one ever said they were bright.
 
This is Kevin McCarthy on Jan 13, 2021 on KERN Radio:

I say he has responsibility. He told me personally that he does have some responsibility. I think a lot of people do. But now, that I find out...One thing about impeachment-why would you run it through so fast? I say-let's put a bipartisan commission, let's learn all the facts.

Of course, this was before he
rejected a proposal for a bipartisan commission that would have given equal membership and subpoena power to Democrats and Republicans. After the commission proposal failed in the Senate because of Republican opposition (only six Republicans voted in favor), the House created the Democratic-controlled select committee.

When he was asked this past Jan. 6 about that phone call to the radio show above he said:

"I'm not sure what call you're talking about, so."

CNN Capitol Hill reporter Melanie Zanona reported Thursday that below is exactly what McCarthy had told House Republicans on that call, according to a source who had been on the call and kept a record of it:

"Let me be clear to you, and I have been very clear to the president. He bears responsibility for his words and actions. No if, ands or buts. I asked him personally today if he holds responsibility for what happened, if he feels bad about what happened. He told me he does have some responsibility for what happened. But he needs to acknowledge that."

What a slug McCarthy is.
 
After Jan. 6, rioters tried to pick up their lost stuff.
People who had stormed the Capitol, called “asking whether there was a lost and found because they forgot their phone there, or they left their purse or what have you,” Rep. Jamie Raskin told Insider. The staffers passed on the calls to law enforcement. “The officers quickly got on the phone and said, yeah, just give us your name, your address, your social, you know, and we’ll tie up those loose ends,” the Democratic lawmaker from Maryland said.

Prosecutors also noted that Mr Pruitt had violated his curfew on several occasions, that he had threatened multiple people on social media, one of them being his ex-girlfriend, and that he has violated his probation in cases not related to 6 January.

They also have a sense of entitlement. They see themselves as the 'real' Americans and they have this sense, 'If I do it, it's okay.' The scariest part is, you can't reason with them. They're unreachable through conventional reasoning.
 
Why didn’t the FBI see the Capitol siege coming?
A year later, the bureau still won’t come clean on why it ignored piles of evidence and outside warnings about political violence before the attack on Jan. 6, 2021.


The warnings came from all sides: regional law enforcement, social media platforms, Congress (specifically the House and Senate intelligence committees), a top defense official, extremist watchdogs, right-wing experts, journalists and even three different components within the FBI itself.

Grid reviewed every public statement FBI officials made about the bureau’s intelligence leading up to the siege to understand how the FBI explained its posture on Jan. 6. We read hundreds of pages of FBI briefings and press statements, FBI officials’ testimony before Congress and public comments in news reports.

We found that the FBI has given at least five different explanations for why it failed to heed these warnings and take steps to foil the Capitol attack or help other agencies prepare a sufficient response. Some of them support arguments the FBI should get more money and legal authorities. But given what we now know, none of them holds up.

...

“This is what the FBI is good at,” German said. “Taking its failures and turning them into opportunities for more resources.”

Nothing about the violence on Jan6 was surprising. The violent potential for the rally was clearly telegraphed and it seems everyone in the country understood this except for the feds and Capitol police.

well, why wouldn't they feel that way? the politicians they admire have been rewarded for doing whatever they want

The larger problem is that it was understood by policy level people in both.

Well, yeah. It's pretty implausible that they didn't realize the violent potential.

I'm sure throwing more money at them will make them care about these issues more though :rolleyes:
