House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has rejected Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks from sitting on the Dems’ 1/6 committee. In response to that, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy threatening a complete boycott of the committee:

Rep. Liz Cheney, who is one of Pelosi’s Republican picks to be on the committee, is “absolutely certain” about something:

Mollie Hemingway doesn’t seem to believe that:

But guess who will be on the committee Cheney says will be “bipartisan”: Adam “Russia collusion” Schiff and Jamie Raskin, who tried in 2017 to keep Trump’s election win from being certified:

Pelosi put on commission *Adam Schiff* — the politician who did the most to spread damaging lie that Trump stole 2016 election by colluding with Russia — and Jamie Raskin, who objected to 2016 election. What were her pretend grounds for removing Jordan and Banks?

DC groupthink a few months ago was that this useful ally to the Democratic establishment should retain her position in GOP *leadership.* She's sunk so low she's now defending what her replacement accurately calls Pelosi's "radical authoritarianism." https://t.co/w3ZRzuO5Om

“Bipartisan”? What a joke.
Mollie ran out of HA’s to give. https://t.co/LBHcKltTuN

There aren’t enough HAs in the world for this one.
