Which included Jordan and Stefanik! If that happened, nothing would get done. I can't see Speaker Pelosi ever letting that happen...

(118,617 posts)2. Can you imagine how sunk any pro insurrection republican house member
would be after being the minority report on the select committee to investigate Jan 6? Hundreds of hours of testimony and reality and they would have to lie every day in opposing that. I'm predicting McCarthy doesn't name anyone.

How long will he stall to try to put off the committee starting it's work?

What the hell would have happened then?! If he was insane enough to enable that, then he deserves to be terrified!
