Jonathan Bernstein: “To pick on one pundit, CNN’s Chris Cillizza immediately declared that Pelosi’s decision ‘dooms even the possibility of the committee’s eventual findings being seen as independent.’”
“But ‘being seen as independent’ isn’t the same thing as coming up with accurate findings, which seems like a more important standard to set — and one that is by no means undermined by restricting the committee to those who sincerely want to get to the truth. The success or failure of the committee will mostly depend on whether it’s able to access the information it needs, and not on spin or interpretation.”
