Re: All parties
"If the Republicans have to do it then it should alsobe done for the Democrats"
The trouble with that line of reasoning in this particular case is that the Democrats haven't been accused of being complicit in the storming of the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Trump and his Republicans have, for what are clearly obvious reasons. The only question remaining is how far they went in their attempt at the un-American and anti-America activity of overthrowing the United States Government. Thus the request for information.
No point in pussy-footing around, call it what it was. Unless you're a coward, of course.
