A few days ago, we shared reporting on J6 Committee antics showing premeditation and bias: the Select Committee (Chair Thompson and Vice-Chair Cheney) hid or deleted files, testimony, or witness interviews. Recorded testimony and related transcripts were not archived with the House Clerk.
You have to be a particular sort of extra-special Republican to get away with that, especially after the made-for-TV show trial and cherry-picked anti-Trump invective, much of which was debunked in real-time and later wound up in Rep. Loudermilk’s investigation of the investigation report.
“Despite the driver of the president’s SUV testifying under oath that the (Cassidy) Hutchinson story was false, the select committee chose to validate and promote Hutchinson’s version of the story as fact, “they stated in the report.” The select committee hid the driver’s full testimony and only favorably mentioned his testimony in its final report, it did not release the full transcript.”
Between all the contradictions and all the evidence that was mishandled, lost, or destroyed by the “J6 investigators,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk has suggested criminal referrals for obstruction of Justice are possible, with former House Rep (no longer protected by House Rules) Liz Cheney at the top of the list.
(He) believes that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the now-disbanded Jan. 6 select committee, allowed then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to make decisions for the panel.
“There’s still documents that we need to get hold of. We still don’t have passwords for the encrypted documents,” Mr. Loudermilk said. “It’s amazing that you know, when I asked the former Chairman Bennie Thompson, ‘All I want you to do is give me the passwords.’ He said, ‘I don’t even know what you’re talking about.’
In proper uniparty fashion,
Ms. Cheney, who lost her Wyoming Republican primary by more than 40 percentage points, suggested on social media platform X that Mr. Loudermilk and others are lying and trying to “cover up what [President Trump] did” on Jan. 6. She also recently wrote that people should instead read her committee’s report.
Would that be the partisan report whose veracity cannot be verified without access to hidden or deleted testimony never filed with the House Clerk or evidence protected by passwords no one has? That report?
While Democrats control the White House, any referral to Justice will be slow-walked, stalled, or handled with kid gloves. No one in the Obama-Bush-Cheney alliance wants to besmirch their J6 narrative before November. Loudermilk probably knows this, so I wouldn’t expect any high-value target to get referred to Main Justice for anything.
If Trump wins, the win sticks and he survives to be sworn in, Cheney might not be so lucky.
Exit question: How many palettes of bricks will the DNC have delivered to the doorstep of every migrant shantytown, shelter, hotel, or motel around election time, one for each harvested ballot or more?
