(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced that retired Lt. General Russel Honoré will lead a review of the "security infrastructure" of Capitol Hill, following a violent riot that left five people dead earlier this month.

"To protect our Democracy, we must now subject the security of the U.S. Capitol Complex to rigorous scrutiny," Pelosi said in a statement. "To that end, I have asked Lt. General Russel Honoré (Ret.), a respected leader with experience dealing with crises, to lead an immediate review of the Capitol's security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control."

Bravo Madam Speaker! Glad we now have General Honore to shore up the Capitol!

9. Can't argue with that choice.

Which is, no doubt, why she picked him. He's universally respected, and nobody is going to be able to cry "Partisan witch hunt!"

to sort it out. I trust him to make good decisions.
