minority leader mitch mcconnell killed it, why? wait for it. because they were scared that it would make trump angry. you wouldn t like him when he s angry. that brilliant game of strategery gave republicans a select committee controlled by house speaker nancy pelosi. yep, mccarthy handed control of the committee to speaker pelosi because she had the ultimate authority of who would participate. of the 13 members five would be in chosen with consultation of mccarthy and when he named two members who had participated in the attempt to decertify the win, jim bank and jim jordan she said no dice. mccarthy being a brilliant political strategist pulled all of his leading republicans with a truly bipartisan committee. for god s sakes, there s a chain owe it plus adam kinzinger and we, the american people are getting a clear, coherent
