And now we are grateful for the great patriotism of our Impeachment Managers,\u201d who she describes as doing an \u201cexcellent job defending our democracy and honoring our Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi details the work that Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honor\u00e9 has been doing in order to look into security needs and make sure that the attack on the Capitol building is never repeated. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/congress\/pelosi-tasks-retired-lt-gen-russel-honor-leading-review-capitol-n1254421\">Lt. General Honor\u00e9<\/a> is a retired Army Lieutenant General whom Pelosi assigned to lead a review of the security of the U.S. Capitol after the January 6 attack.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi explains that his findings, along with the impeachment trial, have made it \u201cclear\u201d that \u201cwe must get to the truth of how this happened.\u201d She also included an emphasis on the need for \u201ca supplemental appropriation to provide for the safety of Members and the security of the Capitol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speaker.gov\/newsroom\/21521-0\">letter<\/a> reads,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>To protect our security, our security, our security, our next step will be to establish an outside, independent 9\/11-type Commission to \u201cinvestigate and report on the facts and causes relating to the January 6, 2021 domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex\u2026 and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power, including facts and causes relating to the preparedness and response of the United States Capitol Police and other Federal, State, and local law enforcement in the National Capitol Region.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pelosi concluded the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speaker.gov\/newsroom\/21521-0\">statement<\/a> by referring again to the country\u2019s founders, saying, \u201cwe must be worthy of the courage and wisdom of the patriarch of our country, George Washington, and of the savior of our country, Abraham Lincoln.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker\u2019s request to House Democrats for funding to establish such a commission comes after questions emerged about her own possible role in the lack of security at the Capitol on January 6 was brought up this week.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, House Republicans called on the Speaker to provide answers to key security questions regarding January 6.<\/p>\n<p>The House Republicans\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/republicans-cha.house.gov\/sites\/republicans.cha.house.gov\/files\/documents\/2-15-2021%20Letter%20to%20Speaker%20Pelosi%20re%20January%206th.pdf\">letter<\/a>, addressed to Speaker Pelosi, reads, \u201cFive weeks have passed since the January 6th attack on the Capitol building, and many important questions about your responsibility for the security of the Capitol remain unanswered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/house-republicans-demand-answers-on-pelosi-security-decisions-national-guard-deployment\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Specifically, the House GOP wants to know whether Pelosi had a hand in denying a request from Capitol Police chief Steven Sund for National Guard backup.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen then-Chief Sund made a request for national guard support on January 4th, why was that request denied?\u201d the Republicans wrote. \u201cDid Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving get permission or instruction from your staff on January 4th prior to denying Chief Sund\u2019s request for the national guard?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Both parties have expressed interest in a \u201c9\/11 commission\u201d-style investigation of how the Capitol riots were allowed to happen.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/02\/15\/politics\/pelosi-capitol-attack-commission\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> reports that earlier this month, Pelosi sent a separate letter to Democrats in the House, similarly writing that it is \u201cclear that we will need to establish a 9\/11-type Commission to examine and report upon the facts, causes and security relating to the terrorist mob attack on January 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/02\/15\/politics\/pelosi-capitol-attack-commission\/index.html\">reportedly<\/a> said it would not look the same as the one created after September 11th, 2001. At the time, she was complimentary of the 9\/11 commission, but added that \u201cit\u2019s a different world\u201d now and there would be more diversity on this one. She did confirm then that it would not include members and would be \u201can outside commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
