McCarthy’s Jan. 6 Committee Gamble Faces Big Test This Spring

McCarthy’s Jan. 6 Committee Gamble Faces Big Test This Spring

Stephan:   We are coming to some kind of closure with Trump and January 6th, and because both the Republicans and the Democrats see this through the prism of politics for them above all else it’s like a chess game of power. And like chess a bad move several moves back can suddenly come back to haunt you. As I said at the time, I had to wonder, if McCarthy had made a short-term calculation mistake. It seemed very odd for the Republicans to take their party’s voice out of the game, when they have cultivated a special squad of flamers — Greene, Jordan, Hawley et al — to do as described in this piece, and just seen in the Brown Jackson hearing. Now we will see how it plays out. Let us all please hold the intention that integrity carries the day because how this commission’s outcome resolves will shape our country’s future
