THIS IS gonna be interesting….
And House Speaker COULD veto the choice. of Jordan who voted to against the Trump House impeachment of Donald Trump….
Jordan has knocked the concept of the House investigation of the Jan.6 Capitol protest /violence earlier …
Having him in the group is sure to be headache’s, confrontations and leaks ….
The lawmakers met with McCarthy in his office at the Capitol on Monday evening. Afterward, Banks said in a statement that he has accepted McCarthy’s invitation to serve as the top Republican on the panel, “because we need leaders who will force the Democrats and the media to answer questions so far ignored.”…
…
McCarthy’s choices will need to be approved by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) before they can sit on the 13-member panel, according to the legislation passed by the House to establish the committee. A Pelosi aide said Monday night that the speaker had just received the names.
“Stay tuned,” said the aide, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the topic.
News of McCarthy’s decision was first reported by Politico.
McCarthy alerted House Republicans a few days ago that he had chosen the five lawmakers to serve on the committee, according to two people familiar with the events.
McCarthy told reporters Monday that he made his choices by looking across the House Republican Conference and picking members from an array of viewpoints and committee jurisdictions….
…
Jordan, meanwhile, has rejected the idea that he or others should be subpoenaed to testify about their interactions with Trump.
“I think this commission is ridiculous, and why would they subpoena me? I didn’t do anything wrong — I talked to the president,” Jordan said in May. “I talk to the president all the time. I just think that’s — you know where I’m at on this commission — this is all about going after President Trump. That seems obvious.”…

“Jordan who voted to overturn the Trump House impeachment of Donald Trump….”
This does not make sense. He voted no on impeachment. There is not a vote to “overturn the Trump House impeachment of “Donald Trump” but whatever.. whatever you wrote will be defended as just fine.
I am not sure about a couple of the others, but it is worth nothing that Rodney Davis of IL, who was picked to serve on the Committee was one of 35 House Republicans who had voted for the Independent Commission, He has been exploring a run for Governor, depending on what the Democrats in the state do to his district.
I changed the ‘overturned’ to voted against…
Ur right….
After consulting with Trump, three of the five Republicans McCarthy selected for this committee voted to overturn the legitimate election of our President.
The Gym Jordan selection alone proves McCarthy doesn’t want a serious investigation.
Sad.
Jordan is arguably the most vitriolic member of the House, so he will represent the GOP in the way McCarthy wants.
True – but I know you already knew McCarthy didn’t want a serious investigation. I suspect you would agree that McCarthy’s selections weren’t the least bit surprising.
I agree Z…..
McCarthy was gonna make those kind of picks to cover the party and Trump’s ass from the jump…
Pelosi knew this…
Kevin was visiting Trump the other day.
Probably got his marching orders.
Jordan is a very typical Trumpite…
A Liar ,a cheat, and a would be thief.
