I can think of only one motive ... [View all]

... for Republicans to agree that the events of January 6th should not be fully investigated - and that motive is to cover up GOP complicity in the events that unfolded.

Change my mind. Offer some explanation - other than the bleedin' obvious - as to why the PTB in the GOP are determined to undermine any efforts to 'get to the bottom' of every who-what-where-why-and-how that underlies this case.

One can only wonder why our friends on the other side of the aisle are SO reluctant to investigate an unprecedented attack on our Capitol, and SO anxious to push the let's just move on because nothing really happened on January 6th other than a regular crowd of tourists meme.

If there is a Republican out there who has come up with a plausible reason for why his/her party is NOT fully on-board with every investigation into 1/6, I've yet to hear him/her speak up.

Sometimes the presumption of guilt is based merely on conjecture, assumptions, political bias, CYA tactics, and party-centric spin.

And sometimes guilt is obvious.
