Let's preempt some common responses before we get the usual garbage posts.
McCarthy insisted that Jim Jordan be on the committee. He should be in the seat answering questions, not asking them. They want him as a witness. Anyone remember him stammering to admit to talking to trump on J6? He looked like he was trying to convince his wife he wasn't having an affair.
They didn't boycott it. They were removed from the committee. Articles like this propaganda piece is why the WaPo isn't a credible news source. They go past coloring a story favorably to their ideology and into printing misleading and dishonest stories.Republican idiots in Congress decided to boycott the Jan 6 Committee. As a result, they are now completely in the dark about what is going on behind closed doors on the Jan 6 Committee and they have no idea how to try to best protect their cult hero Trump and some of their own Republican members of Congress. As the Washington Post explains --
One by one, Republicans eviscerated the work of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, each one bemoaning the fact that the chief congressional security officials had not been subpoenaed to examine that day’s security lapses. Not interviewing these key officials was proof, they suggested, that the committee was just out to score political points against Republicans.
Finally, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) shut down that line of debate on Wednesday with some information these Republicans did not seem to know. “We have in fact interviewed precisely the people they set up as a test for the validity of our investigation,” Raskin said. Those top security officials “didn’t need a subpoena” to testify about that horrible day’s events, Raskin said. “They came voluntarily.”
The moment served as a reminder for Republicans that they have no insight into this powerful committee’s inner workings.
Without knowing precisely what the committee is doing and who it is talking to, Republicans have struggled to prepare lines of defense for former president Donald Trump. Even more important to their own personal interests, dozens of GOP lawmakers are left in the dark about what evidence the committee has collected involving their own contacts with Trump and his senior advisers in the run up to, and during, the attack on the Capitol.
Nope. You're not entitled to your own facts. You are the only one spreading propaganda. Knowledge is power, try obtaining some. --They didn't boycott it. They were removed from the committee.

What's the fuss? There are two actual republicans on the committee, the rest of the gop can ask them what's happening if they could pull their collective heads out of their arses.Republican idiots in Congress decided to boycott the Jan 6 Committee.

Not only this, but that article props up a scarecrow that doesn't exist.
It mentions Republican Congressmen wanting to "defend Trump".
Who says Trump needs to be defended? The dog and pony show doesn't have anything useful against Trump...if they did, it would have to be referred to the DOJ. They haven't referred anything against Trump and Congressmen won't have any effect on DOJ action, anyway.
So there's nothing to defend and there's no defense possible by any Congressmen.
This WaPo article is nothing more than continued nothingburger narrative nonsense from the Trump hating propaganda machine. Only useful idiots are concerned by this.
It's no surprise when two people who get it wrong find each other on the internet.Not only this, but that article props up a scarecrow that doesn't exist.

What part of "there's nothing to defend" do you not understand? I don't see Jordan defending Trump. I see him attacking the Dems.You're saying that Jordan doesn't want to defend the ex president? You might not think so. Republican reps think he is being attacked, and they wish they were there to defend him.
If he is being attacked, it's because he fired the first shot by attempting a coup.
It's a scarecrow for you. For me it's about the congressional duty of oversight.What part of "there's nothing to defend" do you not understand? I don't see Jordan defending Trump. I see him attacking the Dems.
Again...this "defend Trump" nonsense is a scarecrow that doesn't exist.

Did you read post #3?They didn't boycott it. They were removed from the committee. Articles like this propaganda piece is why the WaPo isn't a credible news source. They go past coloring a story favorably to their ideology and into printing misleading and dishonest stories.
???It's a scarecrow for you. For me it's about the congressional duty of oversight.
Every republican from Moscow Mitch on down.Who says Trump needs to be defended?
Did you read post #3?
Mitch McConnell, for starters. You remember how he scolded Trump for 10 minutes after the Feb 2021 impeachment trial?Who says Trump needs to be defended?
No. The select committee is conducting a required function of Congress.???
Are you saying that congressmen defending Trump is about the congressional duty of oversight?
That's about the most stupid thing I've ever heard.
You are dismiss.

The propaganda you present here is interesting in its attempt at deception and lies.
