Most close watchers already knew the motive and intention of the J6 committee was to build narratives useful against their political opposition and the 2022 midterm election cycle. Factually, the makeup of the J6 committee was specifically structured for this intention.

That said, this remarkable statement by former J6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson is essentially admitting the committee destroyed evidence that undermined their preconceived notions.

After being questioned by republicans about the absence of evidence provided to the committee, former Chairman Bennie Thomson says:

…”Consistent with guidance from the Office of the Clerk and other authorities, the Select Committee did not archive temporary committee records that were not elevated by the Committee’s actions, such as use in hearings or official publications, or those that did not further its investigative activities. Accordingly, and contrary to your letter’s implication, the Select Committee was not obligated to archive all video recordings of transcribed interviews or depositions.

Based on guidance from House authorities, the Select Committee determined that the written transcripts provided by nonpartisan, professional official reporters, which the witnesses and Select Committee staff had the opportunity to review for errata, were the official, permanent records of transcribed interviews and depositions for the purposes of rule VII.”… (READ MORE)

“Guidance from House authorities” is political code speak for House counsel.

Who do you think was counsel for the House J6 Committee? 👀👇

One of the key House J6 counselors, giving advice to destroy evidence that ran against their narrative, was at the epicenter of all Trump targeting while in office.

Nancy’s kids must be so proud that their mom is a crook.

Well, Jr is under investigation, too. Looks like a creep.

Did the Nazis destroy their own records? Seems like they did not?

That’s how the FBI works for sure.. clean up crew.
If they can’t get rid of something.. or everyone knows it exist.. declare it national security or top secret etc.
Works every time.

Destroyed evidence, wiped hard drives? You mean like with a cloth?

Question, wasn’t congressional information used against J6 protesters at their federal trials to convict? If so, then obviously not all the information was available to the defense, therefore what legal rights did the charged have trampled on? Withholding evidence, can’t interview witnesses because you don’t know who they are, etc. etc.

"[T]he Select Committee did not archive temporary committee records that were not elevated by the Committee’s actions, such as use in hearings or official publications, or those that did not further its investigative activities."

English Translation: "We got rid of anything and everything that hurt our case."
