It Is Now A Fact That Pelosi's Sham January 6th Committee Was Designed To Be A Political Witch-Hunt

Washington, March 11, 2024
  • Angry Joe

There can no longer be any debate that Nancy Pelosi's sham January 6th Committee was, in fact, nothing more than a political witch-hunt designed to ignore the facts and evidence in a desperate attempt to damage Joe Biden's chief political opponent, President Donald Trump. 
 
Today, the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), released its "Initial Findings Report" on the events of January 6, 2021. This report shows how Pelosi's January 6th Committee was designed to promote a political narrative, deleted records and hid evidence, promoted a "star witness's" testimony they knew to be false, and colluded with Fani Willis.

  • THE SELECT COMMITTEE WAS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE A POLITICAL NARRATIVE - Pelosi made the unprecedented decision to refuse to appoint minority members chosen by the minority to the Select Committee. They hired Hollywood producers to assist with their primetime hearings. They refused to adopt rules, allowing them to operate without limits, to project their predetermined narrative to the world.
  • CHENEY WAS VICE CHAIR, A POSITION RESERVED FOR A DEMOCRAT - Cheney was not the minority ranking member but served as Vice Chair of the Select Committee—a position under House Rules for a member of the same party as the Chair. Pelosi appointed Cheney to the Select Committee as one of Pelosi’s eight majority appointments to the Select Committee. Former Select Committee staff members spoke out against Cheney’s insistence that the Select Committee focus on President Trump.
  • THE SELECT COMMITTEE DELETED RECORDS AND HID EVIDENCE - Reps. Thompson and Cheney failed to turn over video recordings of witness interviews and depositions despite using these recordings in their high-profile, primetime hearings. The Subcommittee recovered over one hundred deleted or password-protected files, including some files that were deleted days before Republicans took the majority. They also hid multiple transcribed interviews of witnesses who had firsthand knowledge of Trump‘s actions on January 6.
  • THE SELECT COMMITTEE PROMOTED “STAR WITNESS” HUTCHINSON’S TESTIMONY - Reps. Thompson and Cheney promoted Cassidy Hutchinson‘s sensational revised testimony and hid witness testimony from White House and Secret Service employees with firsthand knowledge that directly contradicted Hutchinson‘s version of events. Hutchinson conducted three transcribed interviews with the Select Committee before substantially revising her story in her fourth transcribed interview. Despite knowing how significantly her testimony changed, the Select Committee promoted it as fact.
  • HUTCHINSON‘S SENSATIONAL STORY ABOUT TRUMP LUNGING AT STEERING WHEEL IN SUV AFTER SPEECH AT THE ELLIPSE WAS DIRECTLY REFUTED BY DRIVER OF THE SUV - Reps. Thompson and Cheney were aware that the Secret Service agent driving the SUV on January 6 directly refuted Hutchinson‘s testimony. Despite this, they still included her testimony in the Final Report and insisted it was credible.
  • THE SELECT COMMITTEE COLLUDED WITH FANI WILLIS - Fulton County District Attorney wrote to the Select Committee seeking assistance with her prosecution of President Trump. Select Committee staff met with representatives from her office.
