J6 Investigation To Move To Judiciary Committee To Help Republicans Uncover FBI Abuses

By Townhall. Liz Cheney was pardoned by former President Joe Biden for her crimes against America, but congressional investigators will continue to uncover the truth of what really happened at the 2020 election protest at the United States Capitol — including the presence of FBI informants in the crowd, the placement and discovery of pipe bombs at party offices, and various other FBI abuses.

A new select subcommittee led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., will be established under the Judiciary Committee to continue the work of the previous Congress, according to multiple sources familiar with the plan. Loudermilk led the previous effort as chair of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee. That subcommittee released and published 40,000 hours of security footage from Jan. 6, uncovered interviews suppressed by Cheney’s committee that disputed her made-for-TV allegations, and referred Cheney for prosecution over her tampering with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson, a low-level Trump aide, began dramatically changing her story after clandestine correspondence with the former Republican representative. Cheney, who was hand-selected by former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to run the committee and its televised show trial, accepted a pardon for her alleged witness tampering and other crimes she may have committed.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced the work would continue and be fully funded in a Jan. 2 social media post after President Biden awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal for leading a controversial committee that shaped the left’s understanding of the Jan. 6 protest.

“The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence — created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump. They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time,” Johnson said on X. “Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress.”

As noted earlier, Loudermilk and his staff uncovered transcribed interviews Cheney’s committee had suppressed because they were at odds with the narrative she was creating. For instance, Cheney suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, falsely claiming she had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.

Supporters Rally Outside D.C. Jail After Trump Pardons J6ers

Demonstrators rally outside the Central Detention Facility, also known as the D.C. Jail, after President Donald Trump pardoned and commuted thousands of sentences of participants in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of around 1,500 protesters involved in the January 6 riot after referring to them as “hostages” and “political prisoners” at times on Inauguration Day.

Major Congressional Report Confirms Revolver News Pipe Bomb Reporting, Raises More Questions

Just days before the fourth anniversary of the so-called insurrection, the Congressional House Oversight Committee released a major report on the January 6 pipe bomb scandal that resoundingly confirms multiple key aspects of Revolver News’ reporting on this scandal over the past three and a half years. We at Revolver News have faced tremendous difficulty for breaking the pipe bomb story wide open, and, together with our reporting on the Ray Epps breach, which coincided with the suspicious discovery of the pipe bombs, dismantled the entire Fedsurrection narrative.

Revolver News’ Darren Beattie recently explained some of the implications of this report in an interview that has taken the media by storm (over 6 million views on Twitter and counting).

We were universally reviled in the mainstream media as conspiracy theorists. Google Ads and other programmatic ad services cancelled us; over four different email sending services cancelled us, making it next to impossible to get our reporting out to our mailing list. We’ve received threats, including from Ray Epps himself, who promised to sue (he eventually lost his suit against Fox for having Revolver’s Darren Beattie on to talk about Epps). Perhaps nothing better illustrates the hostility with which Biden’s national security state viewed our reporting on January 6 than the fact that an FBI agent was not only put on leave but had his security clearance revoked simply for sharing our January 6 reporting with colleagues (our understanding is that his clearance and job are now reinstated, thank God).

Of course, the hostility we’ve faced is not because we were peddling a baseless conspiracy theory, but rather because we almost single-handedly destroyed a false narrative about January 6 in which the regime had invested billions of dollars and, arguably, an entire election cycle. Indeed, the false story that January 6 was a deadly terrorist attack and MAGA insurrection served as a key pretext for the national security state to weaponize itself against Trump supporters. We, therefore, welcome such reports as the recent pipe bomb report from Congress’ House Admin Committee—the first full government account of the problems we’ve reported concerning the official pipe bomb story (the Secret Service OIG report touched on this a bit, the DOJ OIG report not at all). Congressman Thomas Massie has done a tremendous job of taking Revolver News’ reporting on the pipe bomb to the next level using his Congressional perch, and we are especially pleased to note Massie’s key role in the creation of the House Admin report on the pipe bomb story.

Merrick Garland Uses Cops Who Died By Stroke, Suicides To Rewrite J6 History

Not a single Capitol police officer was killed on January 6, 2021, yet Attorney General Merrick Garland’s dishonest statement about the protest released Monday may have people thinking otherwise.

“On this day, four years ago, police officers were brutally assaulted while bravely defending the United States Capitol. They were punched, tackled, tased, and attacked with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin,” Garland said. “Today, I am thinking of the officers who still bear the scars of that day as well as the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021.”

But not a single officer was killed by any January 6 defendants — which is perhaps why not a single defendant was charged with manslaughter or murder.

Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes on Jan. 7 after suffering two strokes, according to the Washington D.C. chief medical examiner. Members of the propaganda press, however, spent weeks telling America that Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher during the protest (I’m looking at you, New York Times). . .

Four other officers died by suicide within months of the protest — including two officers who were not present for the actual protest. Metropolitan Police Officer Kyle DeFreytag was not present for the actual protest, but later “helped enforce the curfew put in place after a mob of supporters” of then-President Donald Trump entered the Capitol Building, according to People Magazine. Officer Gunther Hashida also died by suicide after having not been present for the riot itself but responding to it.

J6er Exposes Rapes by Guards and Chaplain in Prison She Was Sent to for Misdemeanor

If there’s one thing to be said about the J6 political prisoners, it’s that, despite the injustices they endure, they never stop fighting to expose our broken system. They continually find ways to shine a light on the corruption festering within our crumbling jail and judicial systems. Their unfair and un-American suffering has illuminated these flaws, forcing the cockroaches to scurry as the spotlight grows brighter. With any luck—and perhaps divine intervention—real change might finally be on the horizon.

One patriot leading the charge is Danean, a woman who attended the January 6th event and was sentenced to jail for a measly misdemeanor. While incarcerated, she bore witness to horrific crimes committed against women—by guards, the warden, and even the chaplain. Refusing to stay silent, Danean bravely vowed to expose these atrocities and fight for those women, revealing to America just how deeply our system is decayed.

Rotten to the very core.

Danean took to X, posting a chilling exposé on the degeneracy within the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California.

Danean:

I went to prison for J6 misdemeanors. Several ladies I was incarcerated with in FCI Dublin were raped by the warden, chaplain and guards. My inmate friends who reported the rapes were retaliated against. I promised them I’d try to amplify their voices when I got out.

This is my lane. I try not to veer from it, but I often fail.

These courageous women were awarded $116M in damages last week. The abuse they suffer is real and ongoing at other facilities.

Our prison system is broken. We desperately need reform.

Please search “FCI Dublin” for the back story.

U.S. Attorney Behind January 6 Prosecutions Stepping Down Before Trump’s Inauguration

The U.S. attorney behind prosecutions in cases related to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, announced on Monday that he will step down before President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Matthew Graves, a longtime federal prosecutor who has held the role of U.S. attorney in the nation’s capital for a little more than three years, said he will resign effective January 16, four days before Inauguration Day. The principal assistant U.S. attorney in D.C., Bridget Fitzpatrick, is slated to become acting U.S. attorney after Graves departs.

“Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime,” Graves said in a statement. “I am deeply thankful to Congresswoman Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General Garland for placing his trust in me.”

Graves dealt with all sorts of issues during his stint as a U.S. attorney, ranging from those focused on national security matters to cryptocurrency. However, it was his record with January 6 cases that became a political lightning rod: the Department of Justice says nearly 1,600 defendants have been charged, many of whom pleaded guilty or were found guilty, and several hundred of them were sentenced to prison.

Some have been heavily critical of Graves, including Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who responded to the U.S. attorney stepping down by saying “the pawn at the helm of DOJ’s targeting of Joe Biden’s political opponents — just resigned ahead of President Trump’s inauguration,” and noting, “The Swamp knows that justice is coming.” (Read more from “U.S. Attorney Behind January 6 Prosecutions Stepping Down Before Trump’s Inauguration” HERE)

Ex-DC Cop Shane Lamond Convicted of Working as Proud Boys ‘Double Agent’ for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot

An ex-Washington, DC, cop was convicted Monday of trying to cover up leaking confidential information to ex-Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021.

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson found former Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond guilty of all four counts of obstructing justice and making false statements after a seven-day bench trial.

Lamond, 48, of Colonial Beach, Va., is slated to be sentenced April 3 and faces up to 45 years behind bars, though he is likely to get a far lighter penalty under federal sentencing guidelines, which would take into account the fact that he has no prior arrests.

The feds said Lamond worked as a “double agent,” feeding then-Proud Boys national Chairman Tarrio a tip about the fact law enforcement had a warrant for his arrest for allegedly previously burning a Black Lives Matter banner. He also allegedly gave Tarrio “real-time updates” about the probe.

Lamond testified in his own defense, claiming he never gave Tarrio — whom he met in 2019 — confidential information about the investigation. (Read more from “Ex-DC Cop Shane Lamond Convicted of Working as Proud Boys ‘Double Agent’ for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot” HERE)

Official Transcript Directly Contradicts J6 Committee Messaging

One of the more salacious messaging tidbits that came out of ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s partisan J6 committee which was set up to investigate the Capitol riot, but actually tried to rearrange evidence to blame President Donald Trump for the events, was that Trump tried to commandeer the presidential limousine.

That claim came from Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide who has come under scrutiny for not just the content of her testimony to Pelosi’s committee, but changing it, and then allegedly working at the behest of former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., to orchestra her statements.

Hutchinson had claimed at the time Pelosi’s committee was holding hearings that Trump had insisted that his Secret Service driver take him to the Capitol that day. . .

Now a report in the Federalist documents how newly released testimony from the Secret Service pushed back on the wild claim.

It was House Administration’s subcommittee on Oversight that released the transcripts of a Secret Service driver for President Donald Trump, the report said.

“I did not see him reach. He never grabbed the steering wheel,” the driver told Cheney at the time. “I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all.” (Read more from “Official Transcript Directly Contradicts J6 Committee Messaging” HERE)

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)

Jonathan Turley Asks the Million-Dollar Question About All Those J6 FBI Informants

The J6 mystery just got even more convoluted. As you know, Revolver News has been at the forefront of peeling back the layers on this staged “Fedsurrection” that targeted President Trump and his supporters. We were among the first to suggest that feds had a significant presence that day, using possible “assets” like Ray Epps and others to stir up the crowd. We also blew the lid off the phony pipe bomb narrative. But as with all things J6, the more we know, the stranger the story gets.

Disgraced FBI Director Chris Wray conveniently resigned just before the IG report dropped. . .

Here’s Tucker talking about that moment:

However, for the sake of argument, let’s say Wray and the IG report are right, and there were indeed 26 federal informants on the ground and inside the Capitol on January 6. If that’s the case, Jonathan Turley has a few million-dollar questions he’d really like answered.

Headline USA:

Renowned legal scholar and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sounded the alarm about the DOJ’s failure to disclose to Jan. 6 defendants that FBI informants were present in the U.S. Capitol that day in 2021, as detailed in a DOJ Inspector General report.

In a Thursday interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum, Turley said the report raised “more questions than answers” about the FBI’s rumored role in inciting violence at the Capitol.

The law professor specifically such information would have been critical to defendants of the Jan. 6 protests who fell victim to the Biden DOJ’s aggressive prosecutions.

“In some ways, it raises more questions than answers. It does support Wray’s testimony that there were no undercover agents in the crowd,” Turley said, referring to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
