Is mccarthy allowing TFG to pick who sits on 1/6 committee?

[spanone]

(CNN) - House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is expected to meet with former President Donald Trump on Thursday, Trump announced in a statement, coming as the California Republican is considering which members of his conference to appoint to a special committee tasked with investigating the deadly January 6 riot at the US Capitol.

"Kevin McCarthy will be meeting with me this afternoon at Trump National in Bedminster, N.J. Much to discuss!" Trump announced in a statement Thursday.

McCarthy can appoint five members of the committee that will investigate the insurrection, which was perpetrated by Trump's supporters and came hours after the former president held a rally encouraging his followers to fight Congress' certification of President Joe Biden's victory.

1. Pelosi will just shoot it down.

[kentuck]

2. I would bet on it.

Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Louie Gohmert, etc ???

[joetheman]

3. No matter, Nancy can handle it.

I do believe, no matter who they put on the Committee, they are planning a staged walk-out or resignation enmasse at some point in during the investigation. That way they can attempt to discredit the Committee's work and keep their bas worked up in a frenzy.

[spanone]

7. You can bet they will turn it into a shit show...that's all they've got

[jimfields33]

9. I can't believe we're still talking about getting a committee

GOP is slow walking this. Didn’t speaker Pelosi give a drop dead date?

[spanone]

11. they will use everything at their disposal to screw this up.

[jimfields33]

13. So frustrating

[mcar]

17. Nancy has veto rights over Qevin's picks

Jordan, et al, won't ever sit on that committee.

[Lettuce Be]

18. She can say no to any of their pics, so we're all good

[AZ8theist]

20. They should allow Marjorie......

...and the High School drop out to be members.

They seem very intelligent and unbiased.









..said NO ONE EVER.

[Lovie777]

4. Probably . ..

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. Naturally, MF45 wants the criminals

to be in on the investigation.

Good thing Pelosi can reject those losers.

[zuul]

19. And if anyone knows who the criminals are, it's TFG.

[JohnSJ]

6. Without a doubt, but Pelosi will block it if it is anyone who pushed the big lie, or cheered on the

insurrection

[lagomorph777]

8. Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Of course Turd is running the show.

[alphafemale]

10. No one cares what they want.

No nut jobs on the committee

[Botany]

12. When McCarthy meets with Trump today he will meet with a man who Russia installed as POTUS ....

.... in order to hurt America. McCarthy, Scalise, Ryan, McConnell, Pence, and Sessions all
know about Russia rat fucking our elections in 2016 and never said a damn thing.

Fucking traitors.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. McCarthy is an idiot

Link to tweet

[RainCaster]

15. This confirms that Mccarthy has no brain

Anyone who has to go visit the Mango Mussolini and kiss his ring has run out of ideas and is simply paying homage to the Slobfather.

[spanone]

16. His ring and ass.

[Wounded Bear]

21. Why do I get the feeling that McCarthy wanted this to be under the radar?

I can't imagine he wanted this to get out like this, but of course trump screws it up by announcing the visit. He's such a whore for attention.

I think it's noteworthy that the announcement came from trump and not McCarthy.

[spanone]

22. He's desperate.

[Wounded Bear]

23. Both of them are...nt

[ScratchCat]

24. And to think it would be sooo easy

For the GOP to tell TFG to eff off and move on without him. The anchor would be gone, Trump's power would be gone and life would be so much easier for every Republican. Really weird.

[lark]

25. I can just hear this -

Drumf - this is war, pick MTG, Gym Jordan, Gosar, Mo Brooks & Cawthorn - do not back down - better to have no one than some repug who will give credence to this. This way with no repugs, we can fund raise and advertise against the dems using this to totally discredit anything and everything that paints 1/6, repugs or drumpf in a bad light.

[spanone]

26. That may very well be the plan. Then call it a partisan witch hunt & blah blah blah

[Pepsidog]

27. I thought Rs rejected Pelosi's offer. Why let them appoint any members at this point?

[Takket]

28. Makes sense. Drumpf runs the party

Nunes
Jordan
Green
Boebert
Gohmert

There are your five drumpf will want. Nancy will have none of that shit.

[rampartc]

32. gaetz

[malaise]

29. Duh!

[spanone]

30. Duzy!!!!

[GoCubsGo]

31. Kremlin Kevin doesn't have the final say.

Nancy Pelosi does, and there's no way in hell she'll stand for any Trump picks getting appointed. If McCarthy was smart, he'd cut all ties with Trump immediately. But, he's not smart. He'll eventually go down, right along with Trump. Everything Trump touches dies.

[kentuck]

33. McCarthy has likely already talked with some members about serving on the Committee?

If so, and *Rump tries to get him to change his picks, it could create a little tension, perhaps?

This does not bode well for the RepubliCons.
