If Nancy had welcomed the National Guard on 1/6, how would she have been able to entice all those ruffians to enter the Capitol and cause all the mayhem? How could she have assassinated Ashley Babbitt? How could she lock all those people up for trespassing and throw away the key?
Deploying the National Guard, like Trump admin suggested, would have thwarted all those deep-state plans.

What if there were GOP-appointed members of Jan. 6 committee?
Quote:

Remember that congressional committees, except for the Jan. 6 committee, are made up of members chosen by the leader of the majority, in this case, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and the leader of the minority, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Last July, when Pelosi created the committee, McCarthy nominated five GOP members: Reps. Jim Banks, Jim Jordan, Kelly Armstrong, Rodney Davis, and Troy Nehls. In an unprecedented move, Pelosi vetoed Banks and Jordan, saying, "The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision." It was a move that, in the words of Politico, "sent shock waves through the House."

In response, McCarthy withdrew all the Republican nominees. His rationale was that if Pelosi was going to abandon precedent by nixing some opposition party members, then the opposition party was not going to go along with it. So Pelosi appointed the entire committee. The panel's two Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, were appointed by Pelosi. So while it is not accurate to call the committee all-Democratic, it is accurate to say that it is entirely Democratic-appointed.

How many firearms were confiscated on Jan 6th? If they started burning things and throwing fire bombs at police would you have called them "mostly peaceful"? You are nothing but a blind homer who cannot think for themselves. Have you ever watched anything lately that isn't a liberal propaganda show? Ever watch Court TV?

I don’t know much about Banks. I do know that there is only one reason to have Jim Jordan on the committee. And that was to create chaos. To object to everything; to contribute nothing. He was to be Trump’s man on the committee. McCarthy would have removed Republicans from the committee regardless. Pelosi’s actions merely gave him an excuse.
It should also be noted that Pelosi was not alone in objecting to Banks and Jordan. More than one Democrat said they would not be on the Committee if Banks and Jordan were.

I have no idea. How many police were injured by Pepper Spray and Bear Spray. How many were injured by flying objects and clubs of various kinds. Do you actually know that no gu s were confiscated Orr is that something you heard on Tucker .
Very few people were arrested at the Capitol. So it stands to reason that very few guns would be confiscated.

Crazy...worst day in American history and very few people arrested at the Capitol itself?
What happened? Did every law enforcement officer call in sick that day?
Or did Nancy tell them to stand down?

Oh, and by the way...instead of facing an indictment and a jury for at least manslaughter and possibly murder, Michael Byrd was instead promoted back in August.
Promoted.

She lied during sworn testimony and they are promoting her? For those of you who believe all the lying POS left wing Capitol Police, produce proof. I have seen more footage, photographs and heard more audio than most and I just see a bunch of claims that did not happen. I saw one guy screaming with a cut lip and that was all the blood I saw. I saw what looked like Michael Fanone faint as he definitely did not take a hit to the head. I did not see any blood puddles someone would slip in.
The Capitol Police as a whole are a disgrace.
