Description

Here's the thing about elected officials, regardless of political alignment: when they come out in official opposition to investigating a thing, it means they've a personal stake in the matter, something to gain by opposing it, something to lose by allowing it or both. House & Senate Republicans are almost unanimously dead-set against a Congressional investigation into the events of 1/6/21; considering that there were rumblings after-the-fact of a GOP member(s?) giving after-hours, guided tours of the Capitol prior to the insurrection (yeah, I said it; you can deny it all you like but when any armed political group takes a federal building by force, occupies it with the intention of killing officials and/or overturning the results of an election, that's insurrection -period), known instances of Congresspersons standing with the insurrectionists, broadcasting the location of Dem Congresspersons during the event, it begs certain questions. I can remember a time when the GOP would have been clamoring to have every single one of the insurrectionists swinging from the gallows they built outside the Capitol, so why doesn't the GOP want the investigation? What does the GOP stand to gain/lose?
