House Committees Open Investigation Into Jan. 6 Capitol Breach
The Epoch Times ^ | JANUARY 16, 2021 | Allen Zhong

Four House committees on Saturday formally opened a joint investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Mass.), House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) sent a letter (pdf) on Saturday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, National Counterterrorism Center Acting Director Steve Vanech, Department of Homeland Security senior official Joseph Maher, and Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe demanding information related to the Jan. 6 breach and the security of coming inauguration.

“As the first step, and as described in the annex to this letter, the Committees ask that your organizations produce relevant documents, and schedule briefings, regarding specific intelligence matters associated with the insurrection and threats to the U.S. presidential inaugurations,” the committee leaders, all Democrats, wrote in the letter.

The Democrats requested the agencies to provide related documents no later than 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 15.

They also required the agencies to come before the House Committees for a series of briefings starting from the week of Jan. 22-26.

Some protesters and left-wing activists stormed the Capitol when Congress was counting the electoral votes on Jan. 6 as hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters rallied for election integrity in the District of Columbia.

Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter, was shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer as she tried to climb into the House speaker’s lobby through a window.

A USCP officer, Brian Sicknick, died one day after he was injured while engaging with protesters. The direct causes of Sicknick’s injuries remain unknown, his family said in a Jan. 8 statement.

Three other people died after medical emergencies during the event.

So impeach Trump, then investigate? Talk about a banana republic, we’d embarrass a banana republic.

It was an inside job. With Antifa on the outside. The Trump peaceful protesters were led inside to be slaughtered but it didn’t happen. Only Ashli Babbit was murdered by a cop appearing from behind a door, shooting, and pops back. Where are the murder charges on this perp?

Ashli Babbits murderer is likely David Bailey, See identifying evidence here:

Bailey is a Congressional hero. They will try to cover for him. But not even a coroners inquest into Ashli Babbitt’s death? Have we arrived at the totalitarian state as so many feared, including Ashli Babbit?

I did not know Alisha was entering the House Speaker’s lobby. A guy was sitting in the Speaker’s office. How did that happen?

Investigation??? NOPE. It is a brainstorming session to cement the narrative that it was ALL Trump. In fact they’ll come out and say Trump personally marched in front of the crowd and yell, “let’s burn this $*@&.”
