You may not have known this, but Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. The Speaker can form a select committee. The House Resolution (503) to ask her to form the committee passed 222-190.
Yes, she gave McCarthy an opportunity to nominate Republicans to the committee. McCarthy named five, including two Republicans who were part of the plot to overturn the election. Pelosi rejected the two corrupt Republicans. McCarthy withdrew all five of his nominees. Two Republicans, Kinzinger and Cheney, volunteered to join the committee, because they believed in the rule of law. Pelosi accepted them to the committee. Of course you know all this.
Yes I know all this, but your spin about the rule of law seems absurd, especially regarding Cheney.
Are you saying that Pelosi consulted with McCarthy ABOUT Kinsinger?
Why hasn't Pelosi appointed the rest of the committee? Perhaps she knew that she could count on Cheney and Kinsinger to safeguard her techno-fascist coverup?
Time for evasive maneuvers? I'll repeat my questions:

I don't think of Pelosi as a neo-Nazi; that's over in Ukraine:
As I said to Clayton Colwell around here, people's willingness to engage with Davison Budhoo's 100-page resignation letter from the International Monetary Fund (which I view as essentially honest, and which is a taboo subject, blacked out of the mainstream news media) is a good way to check for their basic decency and their willingness to deal with reality.
A few quotes:
"To me resignation is a priceless liberation, for with it I have taken the first big step to that place where I may hope to wash my hands of what in my mindтАЩs eye is the blood of millions of poor and starving peoples. Mr. Camdessus, the blood is so much, you know, it runs in rivers."
"The charges that I make are not light charges - they are charges that touch at the very heart of western society and western morality and post-war inter-governmental institutionalism that have degenerated into fake and sham under the pretext of establishing and maintaining international economic order and global efficiency."
"Will the world be content merely to brand our institution as among the most insidious enemies of humankind? Will our fellowmen condemn us thus and let the matter rest? Or will the heirs of those whom we have dismembered in our own peculiar Holocaust clamor for another Nuremberg?
"I donтАЩt mind telling you that this matter has haunted me; it has haunted me particularly over the past five years. It has haunted me because I know that if I am tried I will be found guilty, very guilty, without extenuating circumstance."
"In guilt and self-realization of my own worthlessness as a human being, what I would like to do most of all is to so propel myself that I can get the man-in-the-street of North and South and East and West and First and Second and Third and Fourth and All Other Worlds to take an interest in what is happening to his single planet, his single habitat, because our institution was allowed to evolve in a particular way in late twentieth century international society, and allowed to become the supra-national authority that controls the day-to-day lives of hundreds of millions of people everywhere."
"We get away with our works of Dracula hiding behind the mask of Superior Technocracy and a Greater Wisdom striving for тАЬfinancial balanceтАЭ and тАЬstructural adjustmentтАЭ in the Third World."
"And so it goes on and on and on. And nothing changes in the developing world except more death and destitution for the people in the slums, and more power for the Fund. And with the passing of every meeting our staff becomes even more reinvigorated; they wield a sharper and more bloodied tool; an even more terrifying ExecutorтАЩs Axe stand poised for service everywhere in the South. And the children scream, Sir; my God, how they scream!"
(Budhoo is referring here to the incessant screaming of starving infants. When they stop screaming, you know that death is near.)

At first I thought you were a troll, spewing tripe to provoke, but now IтАЩve come to think that you actually believe this stuff. In any case, Trump and Putin want to thank you for your efforts.
You keep arguing that reality isnтАЩt reality. The committee has subpoena power, it was duly formed via House resolution. You may not like that, but itтАЩs true. McCarthy was given the opportunity to consult with Pelosi, and he nominated 5 Republicans. Two of them are conspirators, and will likely be investigated by the committee, so could not be part of it. Pelosi told McCarthy the other three could join the committee. McCarthy threw a tantrum and withdrew all his nominations, and refused to cooperate further. This is also true. Pelosi named Kinzinger and Cheney to the committee. Pelosi can name whomever she likes to the committee, from either party. McCarthy had an opportunity to nominate others but he threw it away (McCarthy is not very smart). Everything about the committee is legal. You donтАЩt like that, so you make sh*t up. Why do you continuously push baloney? And then, after we debunk it, you push it again and again? Is there anywhere that this works for you? Because itтАЩs not working here.
It would seem that you're the one whose arguments aren't tethered to reality.
You say the committee was duly formed, but it doesn't have the requisite thirteen members.
Your statement that McCarthy "threw a tantrum" seems to be your delicious fantasy.
You fantasize that two of McCarthy's picks were "conspirators." Are you a conspiracy theorist?
Underlying all this is the absurd assertion in the House resolution that the January 6 riots were "terrorism."
You have already openly admitted that you lie boldly.
You say that "everything about the committee is legal," but without the requisite thirteen members, it was never duly formed, so it lacks subpoena power.
[Of course that is a matter for (politicized) courts to decide.]
By what authority did Pelosi appoint Kinsinger? Surely not by the House resolution.
Did you not read the House resolution? Check out Section 2(c).
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolution/503/text
And then there is Section 2(a). Are you saying that Pelosi consulted with McCarthy before appointing Kinsinger?
You may not have known this, but Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. The Speaker can form a select committee. The House Resolution (503) to ask her to form the committee passed 222-190.
Are you saying that she consulted with McCarthy before appointing Adam Kinsinger?
Yes, she gave McCarthy an opportunity to nominate Republicans to the committee. McCarthy named five, including two Republicans who were part of the plot to overturn the election. Pelosi rejected the two corrupt Republicans. McCarthy withdrew all five of his nominees. Two Republicans, Kinzinger and Cheney, volunteered to join the committee, because they believed in the rule of law. Pelosi accepted them to the committee. Of course you know all this.

Why hasn't Pelosi appointed the rest of the committee? Perhaps she knew that she could count on Cheney and Kinsinger to safeguard her techno-fascist coverup?
You are slipping. DonтАЩt you mean her techno-thug-fascist-neo-nazi coverup? You need to use all the conspiracist buzz words.
