GOP House report exposes Jan. 6 panel and its witnesses

January 6 has been used to brand half the country as potential domestic terrorists want to warn on wrong think against them and lay the foundation for myriad political attacks, including the law fair Inquisition against Donald Trump currently interfering in this election. The January 6 Select Committee played a pivotal role in propagating the narrative behind these efforts. At the time it was being contemplated, I noted it was poised to serve more as a wrong thinking position than congressional commission. These inclinations proved correct, as I would wait to write as the show trial unfolded. It was quote, rigged by the one sided makeup of the panel, its disregard for Congress’s rules, lack of clear legislative purpose, its badgering of the DOJ to put legal force behind its political witch hunt, and the characteristically devious ways in which it operated for example, resorting to doctoring leaked documents to smear its political opponents. Needless to say, it never remotely resembled a good faith fact finding exercise, it epitomizes what the ruling class means when it talks about justice as bad an abuse of Congress’s power. As we knew this committee was a new report from House Republicans who investigated the committee shows it’s even more illegitimate and corrupt than we thought. Among the major revelations from the House Administration committees oversight subcommittee, or that J. Six committee chair Democrat Bennie Thompson obstructed Congress to the enth degree. Thompson neither archived nor provided the oversight subcommittee video recordings of witness interviews up to 900 interview summaries or transcripts over one terabyte of data, and 100 deleted or encrypted documents of despite his obligation to turn those materials over. The subcommittee found the encrypted or deleted documents only because a digital forensic team had contracted, was able to recover them. When the subcommittee asked Congressman Thompson for the passwords to the protected files. He said, quote, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. In some instances, he claimed to receive guidance not to archive materials that we couldn’t provide proof of it, and in others, he admitted he didn’t comply with house rules. The subcommittee has also discovered the unselect committee continued a trove of exculpatory information regarding Republican actions around January 6, allowing false and salacious narratives core to its smearing of the figures to fester. For example, the committee alleged House Republicans gave reconnaissance tours to insurrectionists before January 6, Georgia representative Barry Loudermilk was one of those attacked, but as it turns out, the oversight subcommittee chairman was completely blameless. The subcommittee report details that quote, records including the transcribed interviews of two participants on the tour on January 5, make it clear the select committee knew there was nothing connecting Chairman Loudermilk constituent tour to the events of January 6. Despite this, the select committee still sent a May 19 2022 letter, so accusing him the public accusations led to death threats directed toward Chairman Loudermilk. His family and his staff. Another preeminent narrative that committee propagated is that Trump and Senate and insurrection you had the oversight subcommittee report corroborate Well, we’ve argued that this is completely nonsensical, given Trump authorized substantially beefed up security in advance of January 6. Why would he try to halt his own insurrection. The Select Committee acknowledged in questioning one witness and White House employees testimony was only selectively cited. The President Trump raised the idea of calling up 10,000 National Guardsmen to buttress the Capitol Police in advance of January 6. Further, the oversight subcommittee report details that on January 3, Trump met with the acting defense secretary Christopher Miller and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and approve the activation of the DC National Guard to bolster law enforcement. Then there’s the story the unselect committee leveraged to the hilt about how an unhinged Donald Trump after delivering his speech on January 6, sought to grab the steering wheel of the Secret Service driver, leaving his motorcade to redirect the vehicle to the Capitol to participate in the riot and lunged at another agent in the vehicle. Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, spun that tail. The committee heralded Hutchinson as a star witness and the media went wild and for her story, but it fell apart under scrutiny to after Hutchinson made these allegations only during her fourth transcribed interview with the committee, and before she testified publicly eight days later, the committee refused to interview any of the firsthand witnesses. They waited for months to do so. When they did none of the White House employees corroborated something. The Biden White House which received the J six committees records made it incredibly difficult for the oversight subcommittee to discover when it did finally obtain the relevant documents. It found that President Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Tony Orr nado, in a transcribed interview, quote, directly refuted Hutchinson’s testimony, testifying that the first time he had ever heard the story Hutchinson claims or not autoload her on January 6, was during Hutchinson’s public testimony. It gets better, despite the driver of the President’s SUV testifying under oath that the Hutchinson story was false. the select committee chose to validate and promote Hutchinson’s version of the story as fact, the select committee hid the drivers full testimony and only favorably mentioned his testimony in its final report, it did not released the full transcript. The report also shows the select committee seemingly colluded with Fordham County DA Fani. Willis, providing her apparently more materials than members of Congress have been allowed to review. There’s much more in the report indicating the politicization and weaponization of political and law enforcement authorities all to the detriment of our country. It suggests once again that the ruling class has ever to exploit January 6, has proven infinitely more disastrous to our republic than the riot that occurred that day.
