Since Biden is president, why can’t he just appoint a commission to investigate Jan. 6?

He can, but won't. That's not how the status quo works.

Why can't he investigate 1080 poisoning done on Cuamo's apartment's he rent's out? Feb 2020 1080 trap's where covid started? A month prior he was on a talkshow talking about selling them to Chinese investors but FHA was a problem for smooth transaction.

I don't think the parliamentarian will let him.

Good point. Seems a little weak compared to Trump with respect to executive order power.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Agreed. Having folks who were complicit voting on whether to investigate reeks of malfeasance. Usually when this happens it is because Congress actually wants to achieve a stalemate. The likely reason is that they plan yo use the situation to fundraise.

Biden does not want to offend the Republicans!
Good thought. The more the R's are the architects of their own failure, the better. Whatever gets to the truth the fastest (being accurate of course) is best. We all know what that truth will tell: the R's conspired to make Jan 6 happen. They're done w our democracy.
