Pelosi said the commission will “investigate and report on the facts and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex … and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power.” In a letter to Democratic col- leagues, Pelosi said the House will also put forth supplemental spending to boost security at the Capitol. After former President Don- ald Trump’s acquittal at his sec- ond Senate impeachment trial, bipartisan support appeared to be growing for an independent commission to examine the deadly insurrection. Investigations into the riot were already planned, with Senate hearings scheduled later this month in the Senate Rules Committee. Pelosi, D-Calif., asked retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré to lead an im- mediate review of the Capitol’s security process. In her letter Monday, Pelosi said, “It is clear from his find- ings and from the impeach- ment trial that we must get to the truth of how this hap- pened.” Lawmakers from both par- ties, speaking on Sunday’s news shows, signaled that even more inquiries were likely. The Sen- ate verdict Saturday, with its 57-43 majority falling 10 votes short of the two-thirds needed to convict Trump, hardly put to rest the debate about the Re- publican former president’s cul- pability for the Jan. 6 assault. “There should be a com- plete investigation about what happened,” said Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, one of seven Re- publicans who voted to convict Trump. “What was known, who knew it and when they knew, all that, because that builds the basis so this never happens again.” Cassidy said he was “at- tempting to hold President Trump accountable,” and added that as Americans hear all the facts, “more folks will move to where I was.” He was censured by his state’s party af- ter the vote. An independent commission along the lines of the one that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks would probably require leg- islation to create. That would elevate the investigation a step higher, offering a definitive government-backed account- ing of events. Still, such a panel would pose risks of sharpening partisan divisions or overshad- owing President Joe Biden’s leg- islative agenda. “There’s still more evidence that the American people need and deserve to hear and a 9/11 commission is a way to make sure that we secure the Cap- itol going forward,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a Biden ally. “And that we lay bare the record of just how responsible and how abjectly violating of his constitutional oath Presi- dent Trump really was.” House prosecutors who ar- gued for Trump’s conviction of inciting the riot said Sun- day they had proved their case. They also railed against the Senate’s Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, and others who they said were “trying to have it both ways” in finding the former president not guilty, then criticizing him. A close Trump ally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., voted for acquittal but acknowl- edged that Trump had some culpability for the siege at the Capitol that killed five people, including a police officer, and disrupted lawmakers’ certifi- cation of Biden’s White House victory. Graham said he looked forward to campaigning with Trump in the 2022 election, when Republicans hope to re- Yesterday Hi/Lo/Prec. 28/16/0.00 -1/-10/0.20 12/7/0.15 63/41/Tr 24/19/0.67 -4/-16/0.00 14/9/0.65 66/52/0.00 24/17/0.44 1/-12/0.00 13/11/0.71 86/75/0.00 9/-4/0.02 0/-17/0.00 26/24/0.83 38/33/0.19 36/31/0.02 34/31/0.02 43/38/0.44 4/-6/0.04 -3/-15/0.00 87/67/0.01 69/49/0.00 4/-2/0.35 38/34/0.02 66/44/0.00 29/21/0.31 29/18/0.02 35/32/0.02 43/35/0.08 3/-18/0.00 54/39/0.04 38/33/0.13 28/12/0.07 61/49/Tr 5/0/0.52 37/31/Tr 28/9/0.17 64/49/0.00 59/54/0.15 62/51/0.01 30/-4/Tr 58/45/0.08 44/33/0.44 -2/-26/Tr 23/18/0.28 0/-4/0.22 82/70/Tr 64/38/0.00 5/-3/0.13 42/35/0.01 1/-8/0.02 28/14/0.19 71/45/0.00 Today Wednesday Hi/Lo/W Hi/Lo/W 29/26/sn 37/31/sn 11/3/pc 22/9/sn 15/-6/sn 21/10/pc 63/43/s 59/38/s 19/8/c 26/23/sn 1/-6/pc 15/-3/pc 21/14/pc 24/21/sn 69/50/s 70/49/s 22/10/c 28/24/sn 14/-5/pc 18/7/pc 17/12/pc 29/25/sn 81/73/t 83/75/pc 20/5/sn 23/16/c 6/-6/s 12/4/c 23/13/c 34/29/c 40/35/pc 60/45/sh 47/23/r 32/24/s 48/23/r 33/23/s 65/31/r 38/33/pc 12/10/sn 23/8/sn 0/-4/s 15/0/c 71/54/pc 78/68/sh 74/51/pc 73/48/s 14/-1/pc 18/8/sn 50/23/r 33/26/pc 68/45/pc 67/42/s 31/9/sf 23/20/pc 35/20/sn 30/11/s 52/24/r 34/21/pc 57/27/pc 46/34/pc 9/-3/c 22/0/pc 46/24/s 45/25/s 58/25/r 42/29/pc 25/8/sn 22/12/pc 62/41/pc 64/36/s 16/4/pc 20/11/sn 37/29/sn 34/21/sn 37/27/s 44/24/i 63/50/s 66/48/s 59/45/pc 62/46/s 60/39/pc 64/39/s 38/14/sn 34/12/sn 58/33/pc 55/49/sh 47/37/pc 47/35/c 0/-3/s 9/0/c 29/22/sn 33/20/c 17/11/pc 21/10/sn 66/53/pc 77/69/r 62/38/pc 62/34/s 16/14/sn 26/13/sn 54/26/r 38/29/pc 9/6/pc 20/5/sn 43/24/pc 43/25/s 74/48/s 70/44/s 91/63/0.00 76/46/0.00 23/12/0.10 9/-2/0.00 81/63/0.00 82/72/0.01 81/55/0.00 63/55/0.30 18/0/0.23 21/9/0.08 48/33/0.25 82/75/0.00 50/32/0.00 75/55/0.00 84/70/0.13 47/32/1.09 38/37/0.00 49/45/0.00 87/75/0.00 27/18/0.00 71/61/0.36 76/57/0.00 68/52/0.00 59/52/0.31 23/18/0.04 41/34/0.24 34/18/0.01 27/19/0.24 92/69/pc 72/44/s 25/7/sn 11/9/sn 82/58/pc 82/73/pc 80/54/pc 49/34/pc 27/23/c 22/0/sn 53/44/r 85/75/t 52/40/pc 77/55/pc 83/67/t 38/18/sn 31/13/sn 57/36/pc 87/74/c 27/19/pc 76/68/r 80/60/pc 67/49/t 57/44/s 19/-1/sn 45/35/pc 35/27/sf 29/26/pc INTERNATIONAL 48 contiguous states) National high: 90° at Immokalee, FL National low: -46° at Ely, MN Precipitation: 1.18" at Peachtree City, GA In inches as of 5 p.m. yesterday Ski resort New snow Base Anthony Lakes Mtn 0 0-44 Hoodoo Ski Area 0 0-70 Mt.

The Senate acquitted Trump of a charge of “incitement of insurrection” after House pros- ecutors laid out a case that he was an “inciter in chief” who unleashed a mob by stoking a monthslong campaign of spreading debunked conspir- acy theories and false violent rhetoric that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Trump’s lawyers countered that Trump’s words were not intended to incite the violence and that impeachment was nothing but a “witch hunt” de- signed to prevent him from serving in office again. The conviction tally was the most bipartisan in American history but left Trump to de- clare victory and signal a po- litical revival while a bitterly divided GOP bickered over its direction and his place in the party. The Republicans who joined Cassidy in voting to con- vict were Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. “It’s frustrating, but the founders knew what they were doing and so we live with the system that we have,” Demo- cratic Del. Stacey Plaskett, a House prosecutor who rep- resents the Virgin Islands, said of the verdict, describing it as “heartbreaking.” She added: “But, listen, we didn’t need more witnesses. We needed more senators with spines.” McConnell told Republican senators shortly before the vote that he would vote to acquit Trump. In a blistering speech after the vote, the Kentucky Repub- lican said the president was “practically and morally re- sponsible for provoking the events of that day” but that the Senate’s hands were tied to do anything about it because Trump was out of office. The Senate, in an earlier vote, had deemed the trial constitutional. 80/60/pc 74/45/pc 17/4/s 17/-3/c 82/58/pc 82/73/pc 79/54/pc 40/30/pc 30/23/sn 17/2/s 53/44/pc 86/75/t 56/41/sh 78/54/s 83/66/t 29/20/sn 25/16/pc 48/32/s 88/75/pc 25/14/sf 74/67/c 63/55/c 54/48/r 51/34/s 24/13/pc 43/35/pc 49/32/sh 34/17/sn Presented By 51 ST Annual Northwest Ag Show FEBRUARY 16318, 2021 FREE VIRTUAL EVENT Register to at end the Pes} cide Safety Seminar for OSHA Credits Full 3-Day line-up of Educa} onal Videos & Equipment Demos • LIVE Oregon FFA Roundtable " Equipment Demonstra} ons presented by Kubota • Beekeeping 101, Chick Cahat & Nutri} on with Nutrena presented by Coastal Farm & Ranch • Metal Buildings for Agriculture presented by Paciû c Building Systems Exhibitor Showcase Equipment Showcase REGISTER TODAY AT ENTER TO WIN A $500 COASTAL GIFT CARD • Soil Health presented by Dr. Jimz • Preserve your Financial Legacy presented by Equilus Financial • 1st-Ever Hydroelectric Mover presented by HydroSide Systems " Equipment Demonstra} ons presented by Brim Tractor, Holt Ag Systems, Doerû er Tractors, & GK Machine Agri-Business Showcase Learning Center NorthwestAgShow.com Major Sponsors Simply register to at end at NorthwestAgShow.com NorthwestAgShow.com | 800-882-6789 | #NWAGShow
