Shortly before voting Wednesday to seek criminal charges against a pair of aides of former President Donald Trump, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the House chairman of the select committee investigating the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, made an offer: Any of his House colleagues who were involved in the attempt to overturn the election and the run-up to the Capitol attack should come to testify under oath about what happened.
It wasn’t the first time Thompson has solicited testimony from House lawmakers involved in the efforts to reverse the 2020 election results. The panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack has requested testimony from three Republicans: Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California.
But Thompson and the tight-knit members of the select panel have yet to follow up with efforts to force testimony from their colleagues, whom they see day in and day out at the Capitol.
“Obviously, there are some people that we have expressed an interest in, and we will make a decision at some point,” Thompson told reporters Thursday.
The decline of collegiality in Congress, punctuated by the Jan. 6 riot, has long been noted. But a decision not to initiate a direct confrontation may represent the last vestige of the lost tradition of congressional gentility, if only because Republicans could turn the same tactics on Democrats if they retake the House in November.

The J6 committee was created for the democrat political gain. Sit back and watch, nothing will happen. No charges. It will be a nothing burger! Lots of propaganda lies, but still a nothing burger!
Treason
This is so dumb, anyone with half a brain knows this only exists today because there isn’t nothing positive to run on, so we immediately have to go negative.. This is a ridiculously long investigation going no where intentionally.
Remove them from office
J6 committee struggles to hold onto legitimacy before the midterms.
Put the evidence out to the public. Just facts no opinions and let the American people decide
