Rep. Schiff: Some Republicans Proposed For Jan. 6 Committee 'Just To Disrupt' - Ali Velshi - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Rep. Adam Schiff, who is a member of the January 6th Select Committee, tells Ali Velshi that "we are not going to allow ourselves to be deterred" by Republican members, including three who voted to overturn the election, who are "being put on just to disrupt." Rep. Schiff says, "We are going to get to the truth of all the facts regarding January 6th." Aired on 07/20/2021.

1. Yeah, and they do NOT need that Shite!

[Rhiannon12866]

3. That was my take on McCarthy's choices, as well.

It seemed to me like he made it a point to choose proven "disruptors." So far, it appears like he has done anything he can think of to obstruct and postpone this already too-long-delayed insurrection investigation.

23. Right.. & Nancy just Rejected these two..

2. So, those three GOP a-holes won't be vetoed by Pelosi?

I sometimes think both parties want some disruption from the other side, serving as scapegoats if nothing particularly insightful results from their efforts. Maybe I'm too cynical anymore?

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I trust that she knows what she's doing

But it sure appears to me that McCarthy's choices were clearly intended to obstruct/disrupt/further postpone this long delayed essential investigation!

7. I already know that Jim Jordan will be a disruptive jerk.

If he's allowed on the committee, I highly doubt that Democrats will successfully order him to stand in a corner for a "time out"! Lol, despite how he'll surely behave like a petulant child.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Oh, he's clearly the worst! There is no way he'll take this seriously and will always disrupt

That's what he's known for! The choice of Jordan was clearly one more effort to obstruct a serious and thorough investigation!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. Pelosi can veto him from serving, though, and now...

... it seems that's not going to happen. Based on Schiff's comments, anyway.

Oh, well. It's out of my hands either way.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. She obviously trusts Schiff - And there's also Jamie Raskin

We can hope that she consults with those she trusts most.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. Pelosi is generally far wiser than me in these matters...

... so I hope it bodes well for our side again!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. She has at least these two stand-outs (Schiff, Raskin) on her team, so we can hope she consults them

And, like you said, she does have right of refusal. If it was up to me, and I don't know anymore than you do, I would not choose Jordan (in particular) for anything!

14. If you want Gym Jordan to shut up, tell him some teen age boys are being molested.

20. Burn.

Well done.

5. K&R!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Thanks! Adam Schiff is always excellent!

[SheltieLover]

10. He sure is!

Imho, allowing those people on the committee would be akin to defendants sitting on their own jury.

15. GOP members

16. "They shared the same goals as those doing the rioting"

[NJCher]

17. This is what you get

When one “party” is no longer a party and is instead a criminal group, AKA organized crime.

It is sad and pitiful behavior on the part of a certain type of white man. They are well aware they are transitioning to minority status.

It doesn’t have to be like this. Adam, Jamie and Joe know how to behave like adults.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. I'm counting on Adam and Jamie as well, they are organized and have shown they're excellent at this

They'll show the others how it's done and won't put up with any %#@$ from McCarthy's ridiculous picks.

19. Adam Schiff did not answer that last question, he went around it

Neither of the three who voted against the EC count, who supported trump in his big lie, and who have already given public comments against the process of finding out the truth about the insurrection should be allowed in that group. I will be very disappointed if Pelosi does not exercise her veto power and sends those three packing.

Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows that Jordan is not there to find the truth, he is there to boycott the process, nothing else is in his mind.
