LITD is no Pelosi fan by any stretch, but this was the right move

 Here's the Speaker's statement on why she's giving the big thumbs-down to having Jim Banks and Jim Jordan serve on the select committee being organized to look into January 6. It basically boils down to "C'mon, man, don't send us your most ate-up MAGA types. This is supposed to be a serious inquiry."

Yes, she will do what she can to tilt the investigation toward her presumptions. But for Republicans to have any credibility, they need to provide principled conservatives, not Kool-Aid guzzlers. A party as in thrall to a cult as the GOP perhaps can't be expected to give credence to such folks, but it's what ought to happen. The two names Kevin McCarthy ought to submit are those of Adam Kinzinger and Peter Meijer.
