House select committee could "work well" in uncovering previously unknown facts.
But at least 1/3 of people will dismiss any finding as "partisan witch hunt" without even looking at the findings. And Rs will use it as yet another reason they need to "take back their country" by any means necessary.
That's a good point and it shows why Republicans should have voted for the January 6th commission instead of killing it. They had the opportunity to put the investigation into the hands of a boring commission that would eventually come out with a boring report that few would read and would only be in the news for a week or so when it is finished a year or two down the road.
In other words, a commission would make people to stop talking about January 6th. But now, it's going to be like the Democratic version of Benghazi. And it will haunt Republicans like Benghazi haunted Hillary.
Sure, the GQP will be able to point and yell “rigged investigation, poor us!” but the Ds will have full control of the scope, effort and timing. They will be sure to release waves of negative findings when it most counts. The Rs don’t have any policies to run on and they have openly refused to participate in running the country. The ONLY thing they have is playing victim and vulnerable white men. Yes, it’s something but it’ll always be well short of 50%. They won’t be able to get the Senate back like this.
