It's now been more than six months since insurrection is stormed the U.S. Capitol.

And in that time, Republicans foiled a plan for a bipartisan commission to investigate what happened that day.

Now Democrats have moved to plan B.

We have to get to the bottom of finding out all the things that went wrong on January 6th.

At least that's what a House-select committee, chaired by Democrat Benny Thompson of Mississippi, will try to do.

Democrats voted to establish that committee last week.

We'll have 13 members, eight of them appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Another thing the committee will have, subpoena power.

The question is, will Democrats use it on their fellow lawmakers?

There's nothing sacrosanct in this review that won't be brought out in the end.

Some Democrats in Congress would like to hear from House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy,

who has never revealed the full details of his phone call with President Trump on January 6th.

One GOP representative later claimed that when McCarthy asked Trump to call off the riot that day,

the President replied, quote,

well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.

Now there are also plenty of people from the Trump White House who have never spoken publicly about January 6th,

but we don't know how soon the committee could get started.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Nancy Pelosi was still waiting for Republicans to appoint five members

of their own. Well, we'd hope that they would choose them expeditiously.

The goal, she said, is not just to find out what happened on January 6th,

but to paint a clearer picture of what motivated the insurrectionists in the first place,

at a time when the FBI has warned about the growing threat of domestic terrorism.
