Today's Opinions   Monday, June 28 The quest for a Capitol riot investigation continues Good morning and welcome to the Monday newsletter. The last week of the month has begun and we have just the columns you'll need to get through it. Thanks for subscribing. Maybe tell a friend?  Here we go.  Democrats must find out why Kurt Bardella is an adviser to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and a former spokesperson and senior adviser for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.  Today he's looking at the reluctance by the Republicans in Congress to investigate the January 6 riot at the Capitol.  "The Republican strategy for the Jan. 6 attack is to pretend it didn't happen. Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia has used the phrase "normal tourist visit" to describe the events of a violent insurrection. Never mind there's a photo of him on the House floor trying to barricade the doors to protect himself from those "tourists." Other Republicans have labeled those who wanted to "hang Mike Pence" as "patriots." It's possible that some Republicans in Congress even gave tours to insurrection planners, who may have used those tours to scout the layout of the Capitol.  Some Republicans have made a conscious decision to side with the violent Capitol rioters. Many will attack Democrats and label the select committee a "partisan witch hunt." They will complain that the committee isn't fair or equal. My advice: Let them. The facts will speak for themselves. The evidence and testimony will tell the story.
