Maybe you should read step 4 over and over again until you realize you're wrong. Cheney was appointed during step 5.
How the fuck am I wrong, lol? The Senate rejecting this committee is their damn right, and they even have a very credible justification for saying that this committee was unnecessary.
The true reason is of course political because they know that the storming of the Capitol staying in the news cycle is bad for them, just like the true reason Dems wanted this committee is that it benefits them politically and not that they are oh-so concerned with the Republic.
At the end of the day, this whole thing was quite partisan from the get go and everything played out as expected considering this backdrop... until step 7 when Pelosi, after making a blatantly partisan pick for a GOP-reserved seat in Cheney, decided to veto a similarly blatantly partisan pick by McCarthy.

Who do you think the GOP would subpoena that would help their case?
Dunno, perhaps some cop from Capitol police who was at the other side of the building from where the breach happened, so that he only had to deal with a handful of peaceful protesters who unironically took a stroll and nothing else.
Just him saying the protestors he saw were polite and he didnt feel threatened would go a long way. It would of course be total bs from an objective point of view, but make for effective counter-propaganda.
