[Daily Caller] The man Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi selected to investigate security failures at the Capitol riot Jan. 6 has a history of peddling left-wing conspiracy theories, especially about the riot in question.

Pelosi announced Jan. 15 that Ret. Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré would lead the security review and assess any weaknesses. Honoré, who retired from the Army in 2008, has often used his Twitter account and media appearances to spread conspiracy theories about former President Donald Trump.

Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.

Honoré spent the weeks following the Capitol riot peddling unfounded claims. He suggested complicity between Capitol security leaders and rioters, and between Congressional Republicans and rioters. He did not, however, seem to provide any evidence for his assertions.

#10  I served around this guy back in the day. He is a loud mouth, genuinely funny, outrageous, and was promoted about three grades further than his professional capability. He managed to get by due to his quick wit and ability to entertain.

This does not bode well...he lacks any type of investigative ability and will just bombast and run his mouth about things and people he doesn't know anything about. Ole Russ will have to remember that if he baselessly insults someone now a days he cant hide behind his three little rusty (now retired) stars like he got away with back then, someone will pop him in that smart mouth of his.

#9  Because the last thing Nancy Pants wants is an investigation that will reveal the truth.

#7  As a reminder that "hindsight is 20-20" there were commenters here who wanted Honere to run for prexident back then. Getting caught up in media hagiography can happen to anyone if they arent a bit skeptical all the time. Remember how much many here loved Boosh back in the day?

#6  He was the guy who was feted in the media as the "get things done" guy after Katrina. Like all media constructs, an objective examination shows something less that an "indispensable man" story.

#5  This was the dude who supervised the Katrina disaster recovery, right? August 2005.

#4  Honoré spent the weeks following the Capitol riot peddling unfounded claims.....

...and seeking a highly paid, democratic investigative assignment. Hopefully Robert Durham and Christopher Steele will also be joining his team.

#3  A singular species of pupid,
Its common name, "Camouflage Cupid,"
Eats bristle worms, poops,
And courts leadership -- oops! --
By insisting they're all "stuck on stupid."

#2  At first glance Russel Honoré looks like he has Biden-itous, you know slack face, distracted, pondering what day its...seems his mind is in an alt-realm, per the article.

Good Choice Dems. /sarc
