A) It wasn't a coup. Our government is still in place
B) Maybe they don't want to waste time and money?
B1) Yes - I know that is two-faced after other investigations they HAVE supported (chiefly, Benghazi).
B2) However how much money did we waste on the pointless Russia investigation that Democrats insisted on?
C) To quote Hillary, "What difference, at this point, does it make?" Seriously... It happened, it is done, they didn't succeed. The folks who stormed the capitol have been arrested or are being arrested, and will face trial.
C1) This VERY MUCH has the mark of ANOTHER witch hunt to try and pin something on the Donald. They already impeached him - TWICE - and failed to convict him either of those times - and one of those times was with a biased "grand jury", the other with a was with a biased "grand jury," judge, AND jury. Oh, and evidence and witness rules that were ridiculous.
C2) They want to find a way to continue to smear his name, not actually find any truth.
D) Congress has better things to be spending their time AND money on. Like creating a BALANCED budget for the first time in a quarter century, or actually legislating stuff, rather than abdicating their responsibilities and just letting non-elected bureaucrats make their own rules which become de facto laws.

A. It was an attempted insurrection for sure.
B. I'm going to wager that some of them were involved and they don't want that to come to light. Because it's not about "money or time" when they had 10 Republican led commissions into Benghazi that said the same - thing - each - time and Hillary testified for 11 hours in person.
B2. How much money did we waste on all those Benghazi commissions?
C. "What difference does it make?" Ah the quote used out of context by conservatives...

"Ms Clinton’s quote has come up numerous times during convention theatrics, but taken in full context, it is not nearly as dismissive as Ms Clinton’s opponents would like US voters to believe." But yeah let's do the "WhAt AbOuT HiLlArY" thing again.
C1. You guys really love to use the term "witch hunt" for everything don't ya? An attack on the US Capitol 100% should be investigated to find out who all was involved. Sorry that you think it's about your Dear Leader but it's not. There was no "witch hunt" against him either.
C2. *Eye roll*
D. You act like Congress can't do more than one thing at one time. When they had all those Benghazi commissions, was that ALL they were spending time and money on? Nope. Nice try though.

Why did Hillary Clinton ask 'What difference does it make'?
The quote has been largely used without context by conservative critics of Clinton

A. Still no. Insurrection: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government. At the time, Donald Trump was the established President.
B. Two wrongs do not make a right. The multiple Benghazi investigations were a waste of time and money. I already stated that such a stance would be hypocritical for the GOP, but they were wrong then, they would be right now.
B2. See B1. in original post, or B. here.
C. I was quoting Hillary, but if you read BEYOND that, you see that I was referencing THIS case, not Benghazi. This was NOT a "what about Hillary" it was simply using her words to relay MY thoughts on the current situation. And I never quote without attributing.
C1/C2. What do you expect would be the result of the investigation? Aside from finding "proof" to blame the person/people they are already blaming? How many convictions do you think will come forth? How many policies will be altered/updated? Doing an investigation with the only anticipated outcome of finding proof to blame the person you already "know" is responsible, is a pretty text book witch hunt.
D. Once again, this wasn't about Benghazi, and I already stated that Benghazi investigations were a waste of time and money. That doesn't mean this is somehow LESS of a waste of time and money. And yes... from what I have seen, Congress CAN'T walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Hell, they have a hard time doing EITHER at any point in time, let alone doing BOTH.
Also... I assume you are referencing Trump with the "dear leader" comment, but it doesn't really matter WHO you were referencing - (s)he isn't my "dear leader." Not a single person I voted for in 2020 is in either house of Congress right now, nor the WH. Nor were they there in 2020 when the election occurred. Not a fan of Trump OR of Mitch.

It was an insurrection. Will you be able to do your duty when the time comes?
The fact that one party wants to ignore it is criminal

SSG Edward Tilton - It was not, by definition, an insurrection. An insurrection seeks to replace the existing government. They were trying to prevent the transition to the next government, however they were not revolting against the EXISTING government. Joe Biden was neither President, nor was he supposed to become President at that time. A small, but important detail. I do not support, condone, or agree with their actions. But I do insist on accuracy.
What supposed duty do you believe that I will have to do? I am merely a bystander in all of this. The biggest duty related to the whole thing is voting - and as you can see if you bothered to read - I didn't vote for none of 'em. There ain't a single person in DC who I voted for - at least not one in an elected position. And there wasn't a single person in DC I voted for on January 6th either. So if you are referring to my "duty" to vote the bums out... A) I have no such duty. People vote for who they feel best represents them, and that should always be a complex decision that looks beyond a single issue or policy stance. B) Even if I *did* have such a duty, my voting history says I will probably not vote for them - and they will probably still be re-elected.
The fact that a large portion of one party (not the entire party) wants to ignore it is not criminal. It is shameful, sure. But there is no crime being committed. POSSIBLY a crime remaining concealed. But not one actually being committed.
Words have meanings.

1) Answering for myself: A kangaroo court investigation following the same model as the previous 4+ years of investigations produces NO RESULTS.
2) The FBI and DC Police are doing investigations. Is that not enough? Or do you not think these organizations can do their jobs? Or are you a defund the police supporter and want anarchy to rule?
3) Sorry miss anonymous. You have no right to judge after more than a year of insurrection activities from your buddies in Antifa, BLM and other anarchist groups.

Awfully ironic that an anonymous user here is calling people scared for fear of information getting out.
