As Greg Sargent of the Washington Post points out...

https://washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/02/kevin-mccarthy-jan-6-committee-protect-trump/

...simply to call it a "counter-investigation" is too credulous. House Republicans have not shown there is anything to investigate.

So let's try a rewrite. Instead of "the G.O.P. is planning its own counter-investigation" how about...

"McCarthy's letter was the latest sign that the G.O.P. is struggling to find any factual basis on which to investigate the Jan. 6 investigation."
