Sure, if it’s truly non partisan. But we all know it will be all democrats and a handful of RINOs so the left can crow about a “majority” of Americans.
Also, I'm a bit confused how this was "one of the worst crimes against our Constitutional government". A bunch of people who believed the election was stolen, attended a rally in Washington D.C., pushed their way into the capitol building, broke a couple windows, and one of them got shot. Then they went home.
False. Jan 6th was not a rally that simply got out of hand. We know for a fact that there was extensive planning involved: several members of far-right extremist groups have been charged with conspiracy. Fortunately for Mike Pence and other elected officials the plot was poorly executed.
There is circumstantial evidence that some members of Congress and White House officials may have known about and/or helped organize the insurrection. I believe this is why McConnell killed the committee, he doesn't want the GOP to be hurt by explosive allegations to emerge.

I said "people who believed the election was stolen attended a rally then pushed their way into the capitol". I didn't say "January 6th was just a rally that got out of hand".
The "conspiracy" was the Proud Boys who on their forums or discord or whatever, talked about trying to stop Mike Pence from certifying the election. The conspiracy charge is for "obstruction of an official proceeding". So why were they trying to stop the certification process? They believed the election was stolen.

Wasn't there also circumstantial evidence that Trump has been a Russian Asset since the 1980's? That there was some kind of pee tape and Russian prostitutes, and of course Russian collusion.
For sake of argument, what do you define as an insurrection? And if Trump wanted an insurrection, why did it fail? Why did he tell them to go home?
It's not just that they committed a horrendous act of violence on the capitol grounds only a hostile foreign enemy ever attempted before, and it's not merely that they killed a police officer, wounded 140 others, and caused two to commit suicide.
No.
It's that their actions were targeted specifically to overturn our government, to inhibit the congress and to terrorize the leading public officials in our nation ... PLUS ... all those other heinous crimes.
Traitors and murderers.
No one else ever attempted such a thing. Any people who try to justify it are disgusting worms.
They did not kill a police officer. The only person killed was an unarmed woman by a Capital police officer. People like you are disinterested in violence as long as it's Biden voters doing it.
The capital riot was just that, a riot. Meanwhile antifa and BLM have, and still are, attacking federal and state buildings and assaulting civilians and law enforcement officers, and people like you are disinterested in violence as long as it's Biden voters doing it.
I just want the Trumpers to admit they tried to overthrow the government.
I’d actually have an ounce of respect for them if they did. Right now they’re below Democrats and that’s a sorry position to be in when you’re under that bunch.

What do you mean by "they"? Do you mean one guy? Five guys? Ten guys? Hundreds? Thousands? The majority? Everyone?
And what do you mean by "overthrow". Do you mean they were trying to stop the certification process outlined in the US Constitution until an investigation had been completed or new elections held? Or do you mean their goal was to get rid of democracy and install Donald Trump as dictator for life?

To me, this is down right horrific, if not treasonous. No trash talking, I'm looking for an honest debate as to why such a thing could possibly be shut down.
Because Republicans are content to live with Big Lies like January 6 being just another tourist day in DC.

That's the other big lie -- saying that Biden supporters support violence. If it's not a lie, show us even one City Data member condoning Antifa or any other violence. Show us, or admit you're lying.
Or show us an Antifa member wearing a Biden hat or any other sign that they're Democrats. You can't, because they don't. In fact, they even vandalized the DNC as well. They're simply anarchists that don't stand for much of anything but anti-fascism. But it's all you have to defend the indefensible, so lie you will.
