Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) wants to know what the minority leaders of the House and Senate, McCarthy and McConnell, are hiding about the attack on the Capitol.
Rep. Lieu tweeted in response to McConnell’s opposition to the 1/6 commission:
There is currently no commission investigating the uprising, so the January 6 commission would not be “another commission”. As a House Impeachment Manager, I know that there are still several unknown facts.
What are @GOPLeader & Sen McConnell hiding from the American public? https://t.co/YX3esav94Q

Rep. Lieu is correct. It’s clear what Kevin McCarthy is hiding. Liz Cheney has even suggested that the Justice Department and the FBI speak to McCarthy about his talks with Donald Trump.
McConnell is concerned that the work of a 1/6 commission would hurt his chances of becoming majority leader in the Senate again in 2022. Given the results of the Pennsylvania primary election last night, the voter backlash hoped for by Republicans may not come as quickly as expected.
McCarthy and McConnell are hiding something and it will come out eventually. If Democrats are serious about exposing the truth, they must start their own investigation, with or without Republican cooperation.
