Was this the proposal which was on the table? Equal number of committee seats for Democrats and Republicans, Pelosi does not have any more control or veto powers than McCarthy, no conclusion/verdict/report can be issued without Republican buy-in? If that's really the case, then I was wrong and apologize. Sounds extremely doubtful though.
So let's stop here before we dive into the details
What you just admitted is you don't know how the committe was set up, but still drew conclusions and criticized Democrats for not approaching the committee in good faith.
You are willing to dive into the weeds at the smallest criticism of Republicans, but NEVER do it for Democrats, and this is a prime example. If this were a Republican committee you would be bending over backwards to dig up how it's structured to prove they were acting in good faith.
and to prove it, took me two seconds to find this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_commission#Priorities"Under the provisions of the bill, the commission would have been composed of ten members, outside of the federal government, appointed by congressional leaders. The four party leaders in Congress (Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell) would have each appointed two members, with Democratic leaders jointly appointing the chair and the Republican leaders jointly appointing the vice-chair. This would have allowed Democrats and Republicans to appoint equal number of members.[9]"
So kindly eat shit.
