U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi \u2013 to the surprise of no one who reads this blog regularly \u2013 is someone I admire greatly. She demonstrated it again today.<\/p>\n

Why? She declared her intention to ramrod the creation of a blue-ribbon, bipartisan, independent commission to examine thoroughly the events that led to the insurrection that occurred on the Sixth of January.<\/p>\n

She intends to find out who was responsible for it, why the rioters\/terrorists did what they did, on whose instruction, their purpose \u2026 all of it.<\/p>\n

Pelosi aims to have this commission follow the lead of the 9\/11 commission that President Bush created after the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001. That panel, led by former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean and former U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton, formulated a detailed response to what went wrong. It also recommended the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. I also should add that we haven\u2019t been hit by foreign terrorists since that dreadful day.<\/p>\n

We have, though, been plagued by domestic<\/em> terrorists, the likes of whom stormed Capitol Hill on Jan. 6 intending to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election, which produced a winner not named Donald John Trump.\u00a0<\/em>FBI Director Christopher Wray said in 2019 that domestic terror groups posed a greater threat to our national security than monstrous outfits such as ISIS or al-Qaeda.<\/p>\n

Must we get to the root of what happened? Must we find out whether the rioters were answering some nefarious call to arms by the then-president of the United States, who told them he would be among them as they marched on the Capitol Building, only to watch it unfold from the White House?<\/p>\n

Yes, the speaker of the House is seeking answers to questions that are troubling many millions of Americans.<\/p>\n\n
