Not so much the isolationists as Republicans. These were not necessarily the same people. Congress began a Congressional Investigation into the attack in 1945, just as the war was ending, and Roosevelt was dead. The Republican members sought to construe evidence and testimony to tend to support their theory that Roosevelt had wanted the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor to get the US into the war. This was a ridiculous theory then and now, but the Republicans were anxious to regain some power in Washington and hated Roosevelt (and still do). So they foisted this mass of lies on the people for partisan political reasons, hoping to get themselves and more Republicans elected (think Sarah Palin and her "Death Panels" - same basic plan).
