Democrats I spoke to are concerned McConnell wants to limit a 1/6 commission to a review of security failures because he's "concerned with shielding his members" from scrutiny about their conduct that day. yahoo.com/news/matt-gaet…
There have been some links between GOP House members and 1/6 organizers. "Stop The Steal" rally leader Ali Alexander claimed Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar helped him plan events that day. I got this statement from Brooks' office when I asked about that. 
Ali Alexander's January 6 "Wild Protest" site listed multiple GOP House members as invited speakers including Gosar. Then this week, Gosar's chief of staff @VanFlein was hanging with Ali - who's reportedly in hiding - on Clubhouse. They didn't respond to my questions about this
Rep @laurenboebert was a listed "Wild Protest" speaker along with @RepTedBudd @Lancegooden and @mtgreenee. Boebert didn't respond to emails. A spokesperson for Budd told me he "decided it was best to make his points on the House floor" rather than at the rally.
.@Lancegooden's chief of staff said he was invited to a 1/6 rally but didn't speak when afternoon events were canceled amid the violence: “I’m not going to speak to the congressman’s intentions, but I can tell you that the congressman did not speak at any rally on the sixth.”
A spokesperson for @mtgreenee told me she also didn't speak at the "Wild Protest" on 1/6 and "was working with her colleagues on their floor strategy for the electoral objection."
They also said she supports a 1/6 investigation and is particularly interested in the pipe bomber.
