The commission
So, Republicans won't allow an independent and bi-partisan commission to study what happened on January 6th ...
Why have almost all Senate Republicans voted against this, even knowing that now the Democrats will still go ahead and study what ahppened during the riot with a select committee (think Benghazi)?
- Because Trump doesn't want facts about his behavior before and during the riot being made public, and they are Trump's slaves.
- Because Republican politicians don't want their own behavior, their collussion with the mob, to be made public.
- And because the people who perpetrated the riot are their voters, and they are terrified of making their crazy-as-a-bedbug voters mad at them.
History will remember the Republican party of this time as evil. Unless, of course, they do manage to destroy our democracy and put Trump in place as dictator for life. In which case, never mind.

There's going to be a commission whether the Rs want one or not. It just won't be a bipartisan one. So not a smart move on their part, by stonewalling they gave up any input they might have had to the process.
I think this way they can claim that the results will be untrustworthy because the commission will be run by Democrats. It would probably have been harder for them to sell that idea with a non-partisan commission. This seems to say that they know already that the findings will be really bad for them.
