Johnson says House Republicans will investigate Jan. 6 committee

[CatWoman]

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Thursday that House Republicans will investigate the disbanded House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Johnson hit President Biden in a post on the social platform X for awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), both of whom were Jan. 6 committee members.

Responding to another post from the New York Post about Cheney and Thompson, the Louisiana Republican said the president “is foolishly giving an award to members of Congress who intentionally and repeatedly lied to the American people.”

“The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence – created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump,” Johnson added. “They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time.”

“Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress,” he continued.

19. Most of these dick heads,

If they aren't giving Trump a BJ, they are giving themselves a BJ for attention from the Republican owned Media....

30. Does Moses's

Phone alert his son every time he unzips trumps Massive pants and gets a Full close up view of the mushroom to get his head planted up that ample ass?

[state of stupid]

49. Are you reading my mind

You are saying what I have been thinking for a very long time. Kneel and kiss the ring my ass.
well, they have the kneeling right, but they are not kissing a ring, they are not behind him. They
are getting a full frontal while paying lip service via a spit shine on the emperor's scepter. They
do not have the ability to do to themselves what they do to their Emperor. They are eunuchs,
whether arrived at that state on their own or by other means I do not know, But I suspect the
Emperor does not mind giving them a little massage a time or two. I mean you can do it when
when you are an Emperor. After which he rewards them by taking to his personal trophy room
where they can gaze upon their missing manhood as well as their spines.

[DENVERPOPS]

50. One of his sons

I can't remember which, would travel the world during daddy's occupation of the White House, at taxpayers expense, with SS escort killing anything and every thing he could for his trophy room. I thought at the time about all the males I knew who had trophy rooms and how each of them showed massive insecurities about their masculinity..........and constantly fondling (cleaning) their massive inventory of guns. I would call them out for their TWPC...........Teenie Weenie Peenie Complex........

At any rate SOS, you were balls on dead accurate in your comments re: these spineless/dickless Republican Politicians....
with the head pussy of all times...........Trump............



(My wife, when she makes a dumb statement and then realizes it, and says, she is SOS.....LOL Stuck On Stupid.....LOL)

63. This is the time when dark humor is the only way you can cope with it

otherwise, you cannot function. But it is nothing new. My father took care of the you do not
understand because times have changed long before I ever asked the question. I do not
remember all of it, but he just looked at me and said the old becomes new again and again
and again. It is the same problem coming with a different look in a different package. I do not
see any peaceful solutions with any of them because of the game they are playing, heads I win,
tails you lose. I take the high road, I am weak. I take the low road; they play the victim. Just like
the computer in War Games, the only winning move is not play. That is when the old becomes
new again by changing the look and drawing us back in the game. The only way forward is to
make them play our game, but I cannot come up with one that put us on a good path. For the
longest time since Asshole decided to play his man card to prove his alpha dominance over Obama,
I have had a several Pink Floyd songs pop in my head. The number 1) Dogs of War, (2) In the Flesh,
(3) Run Like Hell and then our state of being, Comfortably Numb.
Well, I certainly hope you have great day, I have a bunch of DIY work I have to take care before a cold
snap hits. For a little humor

39. Rush Limbaugh has entered the chat room

Johnson should look in the mirror

2. Johnson's obviously a fool.

[Kali999]

3. A tool as well

[Johonny]

14. He is willing to let morons have a show

If it means they will vote for him. When you have a party of influences and attention whores and a razor thin majority, he has to throw those people a bone.

Every minute wasted on this is better than them wasting it on the conservative agenda.

[Trueblue1968]

23. President Biden MUST pardon the Jan 6th congess leaders ..... Pardon !!!!!!!!

[Quanto Magnus]

42. That's admitting a crime

I don't think Pardon is the way to go, because of the implicit admission of guilt. Repubes, would be hollering about this for DonOLD's entire term.

[Trueblue1968]

44. So what. Pardoning is better than having the Repukes ruin their lives. These people are heroes ... Not criminals

The Repukes will show no mercy. Make sure the leaders have safe lives and are not harassed for years.

[Callie1979]

51. They committed no crimes to pardon

[GreenWave]

4. The committee to investigate the committee to investigate

The GQP lawbreakers are infringing on Monty Python.

[Vinca]

5. It's going to be 4 long years of total political BS on the part of Republicans. Witnesses called to testify

should bring along props. Lots and lots of photos of the "normal, tourist visit" and maybe a few broken relics from the day. As I recall, a Democratic Congressman was seen helping Capitol workers clean the mess up and probably kept an artifact from the day. Maybe they could display some medical bills from Fanone's treatment for a heart attack after being tased or Gonell's bills from the multiple surgeries he required which also cost him his career.

22. Kim from New Jersey

He's in the Senate now.

6. We watched what happened on Jan 6 on live TV.

Who ever in the hell thinks wasting tax payers money investigating this is not a conservative!

[Kid Berwyn]

7. NAZI is Un-American

So is Dixie.

[LastDemocratInSC]

45. Given that the Nazis studied the systemic racism in the American southern states

and incorporated those practices in their anti-semitic purges it's safe to say there are few significant differences between them.

[allegorical oracle]

13. The "grand" beginning of the Repugs' fictional re-write of U. S. History. George Orwell is

chuckling. TSF is desperate to go down in history as the greatest martyred POTUS who rose from the ashes to become a beloved champion of the people.

[DENVERPOPS]

52. Every move Trump made

during his prior "occupation" of the white house, reminded me more of Orwell's ANIMAL FARM, than 1984..............

If I was a Billionaire at that time, I would have bought a couple of hundred Million copies, and mailed a copy to every home in America... esp Down South, and in Florida and Texas. There is no way all those people could read/understand/comprehend 1984, but ANIMAL FARM was written at about a third grader level..........

I think Orwell had it right with 1984 with one major exception........He was frightened about Big Government, when in reality, the thing to be frightened of was Big Corporations.......

[spanone]

15. Reason to ditch this asshole.

[Danmel]

17. Orwell is spinning in his grave

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

18. Repubs love them kangaroo court investigations

[wryter2000]

21. Not sure

They want to drag out all the evidence the committee made public all over again.

But, I'll enjoy it.

[GoCubsGo]

24. So, witchhunts instead of doing the People's business?

And, wasting taxpayer dollars on it to boot. Good job, assholes. We're going to enjoy watching this blow up in your cooked-ass faces, you motherfuckers.

28. It's all part of the Trump CON AGAINST AMERICA.

31. But they haven't finished Bengazi yet.

[RockRaven]

33. Sorta reminds of Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues

"Well, I fin’ly started thinkin’ straight

When I run outa things to investigate

Couldn’t imagine doin’ anything else

So now I’m sittin’ home investigatin’ myself!..."

[alarimer]

34. It's only "corrupt" because it exposes the fascists.

Fucking assholes.

[underpants]

35. "Destroying evidence" I can't find anything real on that and I'm sure it's extrapolated

I’ve looked into this and the best I can come up with is that it’s their normal pattern of extrapolating their own voices.

It started with either their idiots not being allowed in the committee which they threw a fit about. Then some in the twittersphere asked “Was this so they could destroy evidence?” - of what? What everyone saw? - which was picked up as “Sone people say they destroyed evidence” which then became fact/legend/lore in their world. Now they just say it because it’s fact to them. If any reporter bothered to ask WHAT EVIDENCE? That would be used as an example of “triggering the Libs”, media bias, and air time killing chatter and no answer will ever be given.

[Callie1979]

54. I cant find anything either. I mean, has any testimoney thats been shown false?

And what exactly would they have destroyed ??

[underpants]

64. Yeah. It's short and concise too. Great for short attention span.

To them it can’t be unproven at this point.

37. The circus is back in town.

41. Well at least

they're pretty inept, so this isn't going to get them very far...

[surfered]

43. Another instance of evangelicals making deals with the Devil. Probably had to promise Trump this to get his support...

...for the Speaker vote.

[wolfie001]

46. Some more nazi-like show trials

This will be their campaigning to try to widen the pitiful majority in the House. They'll drag this on forever. Maybe open a Fauci investigation. MSM will be there to assist, and the SC is their backstop.

[DownriverDem]

47. Please President Biden

pardon all present & future criminal charges against the Jan 6th Committee. Pardon anyone in your administration. A non-normal response is needed.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

48. Exercise in stupidity

It'll only please the MAGAs.

[gulliver]

55. Please proceed, Mr. Speaker

Let's get Cheney, Kinzinger, and the whole parade of Republican witnesses on screen again. Fine with me.

Seriously, though, it would be so stupid for Republicans to do that that it reminds me of the standard, "We're going to take them to court!" head fake Republicans always do. I think they'll make a little mini-production of the investigation into the Jan. 6th committee. It will then disappear from the news. Then, every time Jan. 6th comes up afterward, Republicans will say that "both sides" were investigated by Congress.

[Emile]

56. Real conservative of them wasting our tax dollars.

[CousinIT]

57. Kinzinger published a link to all the evidence. None of it has been destroyed.

But it HAS been published! Still, the MAGAt clown posse will keep stirring the bullshit to appease their cult.

WHERE THE HELL IS JACK SMITH'S REPORT TO DoJ? Do they have it?

[bif]

58. Do they EVER do anything positive?

Like helping improve the lives of Americans?

[sheshe2]

59. And here we go!

Four more years of bs investigations and absolutely no work done for the American people.

F**K YOU MAGA GOP.

[Docreed2003]

60. Tossing out red meat to the far right base

All in the name of serving the wishes of their dear leader. What an absolute crock of horseshit and waste of resources!

[sakabatou]

61. Wasting time and money. That's the GOP for you.

[totodeinhere]

62. He might not have the votes to pull this off.

He can only lose two members of his caucus and I really hope that out of all of the dickheads there might be at least two sane members who would vote against this.

[C_U_L8R]

65. At least they won't be doing anything serious.

These clowns always get caught up in their own shoelaces.

[Autumn]

66. That will keep the fuckers busy and amused.

[Buckeyeblue]

67. They'll continually talk about it. But we probably won't see much action
