GOP 'shadow committee' is 'privately plotting' to issue its own Jan 6th report

Areport from Axios states that a Republican Party "shadow committee" has been "secretly plotting" to release their own report on the Jan. 6 insurrection in an effort to undercut the reported 1,000-page report coming from the bi-partisan House select committee this week.

According to Andrew Solender and Alayna Treen of Axios, the thrown-together GOP committee is made up of Republicans who were not given a seat on the House committee due to their ties with Donald Trump.

The report notes, "Republicans aim to cast the select committee's report as partisan by contrasting its expected focus on former President Trump with their concentration on Capitol security," with a source stating, "We're prepared to release it when they release theirs."

'The GOP's shadow Jan. 6 panel is made up of would-be select committee members. The shadow group's report will likely come in at over 100 pages," the report states with Rep. JimBanks (R-IN) providing more details.

Did Capitol security incite the crowd to march to the Capitol and to do battle with Capitol security?

Did Capitol security conspire for months to overturn the election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power?

Asking for someone who wants to know WTF any shortcomings on the part of Capitol security have to do with the crimes cited above.

We have already seen much of the evidence during the hearings, you stupid fuckwits. Your bullshit isn't going to change any minds. All it's going to do is give your cult a binkie to chew on. No one else is going to take this garbage seriously.

"Shadow panel." Did you fuckers think that up all yourselves?

Hunter Biden lost his laptop on January 6 and a couple of peaceful citizens wanted Congress to think about the possibility that they might do a simple perusal of the laptop to look for any signs of insurrection in it.

Hilary Clinton was hiding classified documents under a chair in Nancy Pelosi's office so some of her liberal friends decided to dress up as right wing terrorists and sneak them out to protect her reputation.

A "foreign-looking" DoorDash driver with a couple of liberal passengers wandered into the building while delivering food.

There were 13 votes from Michigan's 2020 election that were buried in the floor of the halls of Congress since 2016 and some Patriotic well-wishers wanted to politely inquire as to whether Ms Pelosi knew about it.

FBI agents in the group of peaceful protesters started throwing rocks at them so they tried to get away and some accidentally went the wrong way.

The J6 Committee is in error because the GOP thinks it moved "its expected focus on former President Trump with their concentration on Capitol security". The two are not unrelated.

And also, two years later, they're more pissed off about the Committee's work than what happened on J6. Which means they have pretty much admitted J6 was an insurrection of their making because otherwise, wouldn't they be defending the actions of all the "proud patriots" who participated? We see through you, naked empererors.
