I would agree in principle, but not in this particular case. The one guy said in advance that this committee is pointless and has to cover totally different issues instead. And Jim Jordan is an incendiary, ranting liar who clearly does not plan to add anything constructive, but to provide mendacious clips for FOX to show. Besides and maybe more importantly, he might be quite a material witness.

Liz Cheney agreed with not accepting him. I think that might indicate that it's probably rather reasonable than shady to at least try to keep this thing from turning into a phony shitshow.

I'd also add that the democrats tried their best to form a bipartisan committee, which the Republicans voted down. They don't get to point to the not so bipartisan nature of the committee that was formed instead.
