To investigate and report to the President
16 and Congress on its findings, conclusions, and rec-
17 ommendations for corrective measures that may in-
18 clude changes in law, policy, procedures, rules, or
19 regulations that could be taken to prevent future
20 acts

Yeah yeah yeah, I get all that, Ax. But what will they do? Interrogate the neighbors? Raid their woodsheds?

Maybe this all has to do with figuring out what to charge the miscreants with -- though it seems like they already have that.

Maybe the thing is a design to placate the folks back home who are clamoring, in their usual informed fashion, for Congress to DO SOMETHING!!! So they launch this looonnng thing that they hope the populace, in their usual way, will forget all about it, and the thing will die the death.

Yet no commission on BLM/Antifa violence?

Any average idiot knows what was behind January 6. It's just not that difficult. The picture behind BLM/Antifa is a whole lot murkier.

Because that didn't scare the congress critters, only those that live in the cities where it occurred. Out of sight....

@Copper just showed how wrong @Mik is, and provides a good reason to have that Jan.6 Commission.

What things get commissions? Maybe that's an easier way to answer this.

All I know of is 9/11 and Benghazi.

Seems a bit like a waste. To me, they will study, spend lots of money, and write a many page report, with the summary like below:

"Although it was not organized by any one group, it was found that all the people were united by a common belief that the election was not legal.

Although not directly asked to, the words of President Trump must take some responsibility as they were taken as encouragement by the crowd to go inside the US Capital.

The "mob mentality" caused the crowd to do things they would not have done as individuals, and resulted in a direct attack on the US integrity and democracy."

The End

Dunno.

The Dems are clinging to this politically, hoping their allies in the media will cover for them enough to stave off a bloodbath in 2022. But...Latest polls show Trump leading Harris, head-to-head. (How's that, for waaay too early?)

If this doesn't take Trump out of the picture, they do run the risk of making a martyr out of him. Even with drugs, I can't see Biden making 2024. If the economy gets some significant inflation, things could be very interesting in '24, from the Oval Office to the make-up of Congress.
