Election 2020: Pelosi Torpedoes Jan. 6 "Insurrection" Commission

It ain't sunk yet, but it's taking on water fast, and listing strongly to the left. NewsMax called it Pelosi Won't Commit to McCarthy's GOP Picks for Jan. 6 Committee  and AllahPundit at HotHair chortles Wow: Pelosi vetoes appointment of Jim Jordan and Jim Banks from January 6 committee. Althouse reads Politico, so you don't have to, "Speaker Nancy Pelosi stunned the GOP on Wednesday by vetoing two of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's choices for a select panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack..." Henry Rodgers at Da Caller,  Pelosi Says No To Two Republicans On The Jan. 6 Select Committee. In response, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy pulled the remaining three Republican appointees. Rick Moran at PJ Media, McCarthy Pulls His Five Republicans From Riot Commission After Pelosi Rejects Conservative Reps, sundance at CTH, Pelosi Rejects Jim Banks and Jim Jordan From January 6th Committee, McCarthy Responds By Pulling All GOP Committee Members. Ace, Nancy Pelosi Blocks Two Republicans (Including Jim Jordan) From the January 6 Commission; Kevin McCarthy Retaliates By Pulling All Republicans (Except Liz Cheney) from the Fake Inquiry "Shriveled witch. . ."

So now, the Red Queen's Nancy Pelosi's  Democrats' Capitol Riot Committee Will Be a Soviet-Style Show-Trial of Trump (Rick Moran at PJ Media). From the Guardian (cited at Hot Hair), January 6 committee chair vows to investigate Trump: "Nothing is off limits", but apparently some things are off limits, like issues that Jim Jordan and Jim Banks might raise. Breitbart, Troye: Jim Jordan on 1/6 Commission Akin to Bin Laden Lieutenant on 9/11 Commission. PM, WATCH: Reps Jordan, Banks SLAM Pelosi after she rejects them for Jan 6 committee, Mary Chastain at LI, McCarthy: We Will ‘Run Our Own Investigation’ Into Capitol Riot After Pelosi Dropped GOP Reps. But the skunk at the garden party, Cheney sides with Pelosi decision to block GOP members from riot panel (WaEx) and Cheney unloads on McCarthy: He's done everything possible to block an inquiry into January 6 -- and shouldn't be Speaker (AllahPundit).  Rassmussy reports Two-Thirds of Voters Want Congress to Investigate 2020 Riots, but I'll bet most of them want a reasonably fair investigation, and that can't happen with Nancy Pelosi determining the outcome from the beginning. "Off with her head!"

The Texas - Washington DC super-spreader event continues. At Am Think, according to Monica Showalter, Jen Psaki refuses to call COVID cases from Texas legislators a 'superspreader' event. and according to Breitbart,  White House Confirms Hiding Staff Coronavirus Cases After Texas ‘Fleebaggers’ Visit, and the fleebaggers themselves have stopped reporting cases; at Da Wire, Texas Democrats Won’t Release Daily Coronavirus Numbers Anymore After 10%+ Of Members Test Positive: Report. At JTN, Danial Payne notes a Double standard? Infected Texas Democrat truants accorded medical privacy denied Republicans. PM, WATCH: Tucker Carlson and Fox News colleagues call out Texas Democrats on their COVID hypocrisy.

Which is a good segue into the censorship debate. As Kylee Zempel at Da Fed notes Democrats’ Definition Of ‘Misinformation’ Is Whatever Hurts Them Politically Today. Bryan Preston at PJ Media says WATCH Biden's Communications Director who Just Swapped Out the 'Disinformation Dozen' for 'Conservative News Outlets'. At Da Wire, Biden Says ‘These 12 People’ Are Responsible For Most COVID Misinformation. Never Says Who They Are. Ace cites Nice Deb in The List of Twelve "Disinformation Spreaders" That Biden Is Pressuring FaceBook and All Other Social Media Platforms to Ban...? Their Names Were Provided by a Foreign Dark-Money Group, "So now foreign dark-money propaganda groups are determining who will and will not have the right to free speech in America. At the Independent Chronicle, Hawley accuses Biden of using vaccine misinformation talking points from 'foreign dark money group'

At NYPo, Jacob Sullum calls Biden’s attempt to rope Big Tech into more censorship is downright sinister, and Terry Jeffrey at Town Hall wonders What Type of Speech will Biden Ask Facebook to Suppress Next? Whatever hurts them most politically. I'm guessing crime or the border get attention next. PJ Media's Paula Bolyard warns One Day Soon, You'll Wake Up to Find Your Favorite Website Has Vanished. Judge Andrew P. Napolitano maunders on about Free Speech and Private Property

From the Independent Chronicle, Over 60% of Arizona Republicans say Trump will win in election audit. Hmm. Sundance hosts a video of an Eloquent Grassroots Effort in York County Pennsylvania Supporting an Election Audit. But JTN finds Pennsylvania punishes county that allowed audit of vote counting machines "Department of State decertifies Fulton County voting machines after local officials allowed third-party review." They really fear audits, don't they? 

At least two of the counties confirmed they wouldn't comply with Mastriano's request because they can't afford to replace their machines if the state decertifies them for participating, too.

Acting Secretary of State Veronica Degraffenreid said Wednesday she has "no other choice" after Fulton County officials confirmed that Wake Technology Services Inc. accessed its Dominion voting machines earlier this year, violating the state's chain of custody provisions and other "strict limitations" designed to prevent tampering.

Basically admitting that it's possible to rig the machines. TNP,  61% Agree With Trump: “Election Reform Must Happen”. NYPo, Harris struggles to name GOP senators she’s spoken to on voting rights. Hot Hair cites Bulwark girlz Amada Carpenter, Make Republicans defend their opposition to voting rights bills. I have no problem doing that. Tim Graham takes on Biden's Wild Murder and Jim Crow Accusations.

At JTN, Democrat creates bill to allow only elected House members to serve as Speaker, "The bill comes after Trump appeared on a radio show saying being the Speaker would be "so interesting." He sure scares them.
