   Pelosi 'off-limits' for the January 6 co

   House Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., continues to   
   keep House Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of the panel's investigatory   
   purview, a top House Republican told "Life, Liberty & Levin" in the   
   face of claims she rejected precautionary National Guard troops ahead   
   of the riot.   
      
   House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. — who   
   took over the role after House Jan. 6 Committee Vice Chairwoman Liz   
   Cheney was voted out of the post — called the panel "un-American."   
      
   Stefanik pointed to Thompson's 2021 comment that "nobody is off-limits"   
   from investigation including former President Donald Trump, but also   
   cited further comments by the 13-term Democrat she said suggest he   
   excepts Pelosi.   
      
   "Again, you have only one office that's off-limits to investigation,   
   and that office is Nancy Pelosi's office. The Democratic head of the   
   committee, Bennie Thompson, said at the start of this witch hunt...   
      
   Cut!   
      
   "[W]e know that the speaker's office was made aware of potential   
   threats, potential violence that day. They failed to do their job to   
   ensure the Capitol Police had the support they needed to secure the   
   Capitol."   
      
   Republicans have cited comments from Thompson stating in-part the   
   resolution governing the committee speaks to "facts and circumstances   
   around Jan. 6," she said.    
      
   "I don't see the speaker being part-and-parcel to that," he said.

   Still investigating Trump after two and a half years.   
      
   They should have been investigating Nancy Pelosi from the beginning.   
   She was in charge of security, and refused to have the National Guard   
   present.  She was warned there would probably be violence.
