Of course they did. There was no potential upside for them.

Not just that, but it was also very likely to be a inside job and whoever else besides Trump that is responsible doesn't want to be exposed and face consequences.

oh no, they killed a committee that was going to come to the conclusion "bad things happened" and not make any sort of attempt to bring about repercussions.

So if they believe that the insurrection was done by BLM and antifa, why wouldn't they want an investigation?

McConnell said there won't be any new facts discovered or healing accomplished by the commission

Not sure how you can determine that there won't be any new facts before the investigation is done, but whatever. And the healing part is absolute bullshit. I'm not willing to just let Republicans just go "OUR BAD OH WELL" after that shit.

We shouldnt try to make change now because at some point in the future someone might change it back

Republicans have pretty much just refused an opportunity for a bipartisan committee to do this. The house Democrats might go it alone and start their investigation after this.

Seems like a problem that the party that would be held culpable for the attack has full control over whether or not an investigation of their crimes could even start.

In the minds of the Rs, January 6th was a good idea that was executed poorly.

Next time theyll do better

Go look at that again.
Youre arguing that the filibuster should be kept in place because one day republicans might use it against democrats

this is an argument against any progress whatsoever

Why should we work to make things better for everyone when one day republicans might make it worse again??

Probably.

Some sort of investigation needs to be done, if even just to figure out the security failure(s).
May even get a Feynman-type to point out something obvious-yet-blissfully-ignored.

"Procedural" filibuster shouldn't exist. Do it Jimmy Stewart style or GTFO.

So order the Justice Department to investigate it. No bi-partisanship. Go after the people responsible and drag the details into the daylight. Press the harshest of charges possible.

Can, but the optics. A joint congressional commission, especially with the many compromises given to known bad faith actors, would have a bipartisan label that would make simply screaming "WITCH HUNT" a less effective defense to the results.

An investigation by the AG, on the other hand, would only require that aforementioned screaming as a defense.

At this point does it matter? How many investigations did they do on benghazi again?

Something is wrong when 36 people can vote against something 54 can vote for it and the 36 win. That is a broken system that needs to be fixed.

Get rid of the Filibuster.
