Nancy Pelosi Plans ‘Independent 9/11-Type Commission’ to Investigate Capitol Riot
The House Speaker started the week wrong. Pelosi announced that she is establishing an “outside, independent 9/11-type Commission” to investigate the violent riots at the US Capitol.

Pelosi explained that her commission “investigate and report on the facts and causes relating to January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex … and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power.”

She did not waste any time at all. Pelosi made her decision right after the US Senate voted to acquit Donald Trump. Or maybe she was working on her Plan B this entire time. Maybe Pelosi knew about the riots before protesters stormed at the Capitol… Five people lost their lives in the riots. One of them was a US Capitol Police officer.
The US Senate voted 57-43 to acquit the former president. Seven Republican senators joined Pelosi and her witch hunt.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) and other Senate Democrats support Pelosi’s commission.
“There’s still more evidence that the American people need and deserve to hear and a 9/11 commission is a way to make sure that we secure the Capitol going forward,” Coons said. “And that we lay bare the record of just how responsible and how abjectly violating of his constitutional oath President Trump really was.”
McConnel informed Republicans that he would vote to acquit the former president. He held a shocking speech after the vote, and said Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.” Oh, yes, he did mention that his hands were tied.
“It was powerful to hear the 57 guilties and then it was puzzling to hear and see Mitch McConnell stand and say ‘not guilty’ and then, minutes later, stand again and say he was guilty of everything,” said Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa. “History will remember that statement of speaking out of two sides of his mouth,” she said.
