In a letter to the Jan. 6 panel, Kevin McCarthy seemed to have an awful lot to say.
, telegraphing the incoming Republican majority’s commitment to relitigate all the work the panel has undertaken in the last year and a half.in his bid to win over his far-right members ahead of next month’s new Congress, there’s absolutely nothing of substance to this warning. It’s all a performance to show Republican hard-liners that he will be tough on Democrats in defense of former President Donald Trump. So, no matter what winds up in the Jan.
In his letter, McCarthy reminds committee chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., “to preserve all records and transcripts of testimony taken during your investigation.” He goes on to say the GOP will hold hearings into why the Capitol complex wasn’t secure on Jan. 6, 2021. Americans, he writes, “are owed all the information you gathered — not merely the information that comports with your political agenda.
Let’s break down how pointless most of those words are. The subtext is that there is a chance that the committee might hide or destroy some key evidence that shows that it was always meant to be a political weapon against Trump. But the committee was already saving all the documents being produced, as required under the resolution that created it.
