Democrats’ J6 Committee “Failed to Preserve” Evidence
The outrageous news that you can’t even make up continues as the Left-led January 6th Committee (J6 Committee) in charge of probing the chaos at the U.S. Capitol in 2021 failed to keep essential records from its investigation. Further, the committee can’t prove that it investigated the security failures at the Capitol.
Fox News reports:
The House select committee that investigated the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 failed to adequately preserve documents, data and video depositions – including communications it had with the Biden White House that are still missing – according to the Republican lawmaker overseeing the GOP investigation into the committee’s work.
The now-disbanded “J6” committee, which was run by Democrats and included only two GOP members, has also failed to provide any evidence that it looked into Capitol Hill security failures on the day of the riot, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the Committee on House Administration, told Fox News Digital.
Apparently, even in 2023, with all the modern technology available, politicians can’t even manage the simple task of keeping records (including video depositions, which would be highly vital to preserve). Do politicians need to learn how to back up files or save documents? Does Congress need to update its server space? Or is it possible the committee purposely didn’t preserve the records? I’ll let you be the judge.
Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) says the data received from the J6 committee was a mess:
Nothing was indexed. There was no table of contents index. Usually when you conduct this level of investigation, you use a database system and everything is digitized, indexed. We got nothing like that. We just got raw data. . . . So it took us a long time going through it and one thing I started realizing is we don’t have anything much at all.
Can you believe an investigation at the highest level of government involving the former President of the United States was so sloppy? The Deep State murkiness continues . . .
Loudermilk then directly accused the J6 Committee of solely working to condemn former President Donald Trump rather than do its job. He saw through the Deep State interference going on with the J6 Committee. It only had a singular focus: to blame the riots on Donald Trump at all costs.
The J6 Committee must be held accountable for its shocking display of incompetence. Remember, in November 2022, then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy demanded that the J6 Committee keep all records and promised that House Republicans would conduct their own investigation into “why the Capitol complex was not secure.” We will keep an eye on this developing story to see how Speaker McCarthy responds.
To highlight our Life & Liberty Drive that is currently underway, we shared about some religious liberty cases the ACLJ is currently litigating. A senior living complex had the audacity to ban its elderly residents from hosting Bible studies at its center. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment and federal law, and we are fighting to protect the religious liberty of these residents.
ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil joined the broadcast to discuss a recent religious liberty case where an Army and Air Force contractor targeted an employee for keeping a Bible on her desk and reading aloud from her Bible during break time. Again, this is another egregious violation of the First Amendment. We quickly got involved, and the contractor reversed course, ensuring that our client would be allowed to practice her faith at work.
ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell later discussed the positive impact of Trump’s policies in the Middle East. I shared how my local pharmacist recently raved to me about how much President Trump helped his family in Egypt by normalizing relations between Israel and Egypt.
Grenell responded:
We do know that the Peace Accords, the Abraham Accords, completely changed everything. . . . I can tell you that God was at work in that Oval Office with President Trump, using Jared [Kushner], utilizing the people that were in power to really transform policy. Remember, they said Donald Trump was going to start World War III. The opposite happened – we saw world peace.
Clearly, Trump had an unmistakable impact on that region, and we pray that God continues to keep His hand of protection over Israel.
Our Sekulow broadcast also highlighted our new ACLJ Life & Liberty Drive Prayer Guide, which is free to download in conjunction with our Life & Liberty Drive. We recognize that not everyone can afford to donate to our mission right now, but you can pray for us. The prayer guide lists requests related to our work in America and abroad. We want everyone to download the prayer guide and pray daily for us. With your fervent prayers, we can win the ACLJ’s battles for life and liberty. Download here for free.
