House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reiterated her call for a commission to investigate the deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, writing a letter to colleagues dated 100 days after the insurrection.
"On this 100th day, we are determined to seek the truth of January 6th. To do so, we must have a January 6th Commission. To that end, we have once again sent a proposal for such a Commission to the Republicans, modeled after the 9/11 Commission," Pelosi said, referring to the bipartisan, independent panel created in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Negotiations previously stalled when Republicans rejected Pelosi's proposal to impanel a commission with more Democrats than Republicans.
"Neither the Republican Leader nor his staff have been provided Speaker Pelosi's latest proposal, but hopefully the Speaker has addressed our basic concerns of equal representation and subpoena authority," a spokesperson for McCarthy said on Friday evening.

She's right - something will be done - just giving 'them' another chance to 'put-up-or-STFU!'
