House Republicans Expose J6 Committee’s Lies, Cover-Ups, Scandals in New Report
The Democrats’ illegally established and since-disbanded partisan Select Committee on Jan. 6 ran a two-year operation to frame political opponents as criminal insurrectionists and then covered up members’ own misconduct.
According to a nearly 130-page interim report released Tuesday by House Republicans who reviewed the panel’s work, lawmakers under former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s direction suppressed evidence that contradicted the committee’s narrative, circumvented a key witnesses’ legal representation, and deleted more than a terabyte of digital data related to the investigation.
Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight who led the probe into the probe, wrote in the report’s introduction letter that his team’s findings “reveals that there was not just one single cause for what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.”
“It was a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at several levels and numerous entities,” said Loudermilk. “Even amid multiple failures, there were two common elements that significantly contributed to the security issues: an excessive amount of political influence on critical decisions, and a greater concern over the optics than for protecting life and property.”
Many of the failures around “optics” had already been previously reported by House Republicans who exposed Pelosi’s refusal to deploy the National Guard multiple times ahead of the riot. (Read more from “House Republicans Expose J6 Committee’s Lies, Cover-Ups, Scandals in New Report” HERE)
