Republicans lied about the need for a Jan. 6 commission.

As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) put it this past May, “It’s not at all clear what new facts or additional investigation yet another commission could actually lay on top of existing efforts by law enforcement and Congress." But McConnell’s statement was also absurdly wrong. It is hard to recount all that we have learned from the House select committee’s investigation on Jan. 6. Thanks to the committee’s work, for example, we discovered:

The president and assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark schemed to involve the Justice Department in a plot to invalidate the election;
An executive order was drafted to allow the federal government to seize voting machines;
Seven states put forth fake slates of electors;
Then-President Donald Trump was reportedly in contact with a team led by Rudolph W. Giuliani, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn and Stephen K. Bannon, who set up a post at the Willard hotel working to delay certification of electoral votes; and
Republican members of Congress sent texts to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows concerning the plan to engage the Justice Department or to prevent Congress from counting the electoral votes.

"Once the extent of the plot and the identities of all the participants (and silent eyewitnesses) are known, the public might conclude that there is something fundamentally corrupt and un-American about the Republican Party that is not confined to a loopy president and a few deranged aides. And that is a critical reason to allow the Jan. 6 committee to do its work."
