McCarthy says he won’t cooperate with ‘illegitimate’ Jan. 6 probe

(The Hill) – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Wednesday evening that he will not cooperate with the select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, asserting the panel “is not conducting a legitimate investigation.”

McCarthy, in a statement released hours after the committee asked him to voluntarily cooperate with its probe, maintained that the “illegitimate” panel was seeking to interview him about “private conversations not remotely related to the violence that unfolded at the Capitol.”

The panel noted in its letter to McCarthy earlier Wednesday, however, that the GOP leader previously acknowledged speaking with former President Trump as the attack on the Capitol was underway.

McCarthy's been electrocharged with Trump-energy the last couple days. 

But he doesn't seem angry enough to step through the mirror and nail Pelosi over her phonecalls.

But he doesn't seem angry enough to step through the mirror and nail Pelosi over her phonecalls.

And that right there is the problem with McCarthy. Trying to play both ends against the middle, positioning himself to be the next Speaker. Just another congresscritter doing what they do -- preen and thunder in front of the cameras (but not enough to shake the podium -- that would spoil the camera's focus).

Not quite a full-blown scumbag, but close.

McCarthy is Minority Leader and has little authority. Rs he leads are trying to gain access to House records, including of Pelosi's activities, but she is stonewalling their effort, https://thefederalist.com/2022/01/04/pelosi-is-blocking-access-to-house-january-6-records-what-is-she-hiding/ .
