Republicans engaged in another vast and flagrant Trump coverup. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Conventions at legacy outlets basically forbid reporting that kind of thing plainly but it’s 100% what’s happening and everyone knows it. Republicans oppose any commission empowered to look beyond narrow security failures, unless they’re allowed to mire it in ANTIFA whataboutism.
To me, the commission itself is a bit of a red herring, since Dems can:
1) Let Republicans vote it down.
2) Impanel a joint committee, give it subpoena power, hold hearings in prime time.
3) Abolish the filibuster and create the commission anyhow, if they think it’s important.

But the reason the commission doesn’t already exist is that Republicans know complicity runs deep into the party, and they want to keep that fact concealed.
