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

Then MSNBC wouldn't be able to talk about it for the next year. Geesh, what are you thinking!?

Great question!

Because Congress is there for a reason: It is the branch of government that is accountable to the people. Oversight & investigations, provided with proper appropriations, are specifically within its purview. For the record, the GOP have put Trump before country. #Traitors

I think he should appoint a bipartisan commission. If the Republicans don’t participate let the record show they shirked their duty.

Why does any progressive give a shit? The Warren commission and 9/11 commission were both complete jokes. It does not matter, they'll just tell us whatever they want us to hear anyway

Why can’t the FBI and Justice Department investigate this crime? They are equipped to and it’s their function.

🧐 Well, that would mean he's actually be doing something and that would ruin the "Dems Good, Republicans Bad" dog & pony show.
