Jan. 6 committee taps former Bush administration official as top lawyer © Getty Images The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has hired a former Bush administration official to serve as its top legal adviser.

The panel tapped John F. Wood, a former U.S. attorney and adviser to former Attorney General John Ashcroft, to work as its senior investigative counsel.

“Mr. Wood has an impressive track record working inside and outside of government, and his expertise will enhance our efforts to investigate the events surrounding January 6th and understand what led to the attack against the U.S. Capitol that day. Furthermore, his addition to the Committee staff underscores the nonpartisan nature of our work,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in a joint statement.

They want to let you know they are ready to punish you for anything that looks anything like patriotic. This we all know was a setup to do just this. It wont work

“Did something happen on January 6th?”

Some people did something, just like 9/11.

He needs to investigate his former boss’s making of aggressive war against Iraq based on false pretenses of nonexistent WMDs - this was Count I against the defendants at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials and is a lot more serious than people walking into the Capitol. And he could also investigate Laura Bush for the “accident” that killed her ex-boyfriend and for which the police files oddly disappeared.

John F. Wood is senior vice president, chief legal officer, and general counsel of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Get the picture?
