In Congress, Republicans continue to block the formation of an independent commission to examine the deadly, Trump-fueled US Capitol Insurrection on January 6, despite a growing number of troubling new questions about the disastrous failure to protect the U.S. Capitol from the violent MAGA Mob.\\xa0 Previous reporting has found troubling gaps in leadership, including a failure to respond to explicit advance warnings. Now undisclosed internal investigations revealed by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) suggest Capitol Police were ordered to seek out only 'anti-Trump' protesters, not Trump supporters. Why? We ask those questions and more, as the GOP continues to obstruct the formation of an over-arching commission that might deliver answers. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'"
