The public may not see all of the Jan. 6 committee’s work for decades— if ever
LA Times ^ | Dec 20, 2022

WASHINGTON — The final report by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection will provide the most comprehensive account yet of what led to the worst attack on the Capitol in more than 200 years. But it’s not likely to include all of the evidence the panel collected in its 18-month investigation. Congress is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act, and House rules, which lawmakers approve with each new Congress, set an at minimum two-decade timeline before the public can see records that are preserved.

That means that potentially millions of pages of depositions, cellphone and text records, emails, staff notes and analysis by outside organizations compiled as part of the committee’s investigation that don’t make it into the official final report or aren’t released before the end of the year won’t become public for decades — if they ever do at all...

The select committee’s website could go offline as soon as a new Congress is sworn in.

Information on the website will be preserved online by the National Archives, which harvests the contents of congressional websites at the end of each Congress. The National Archives works with the Internet Archive, a San Francisco nonprofit, to scrape websites and save the information for public use. Video, links, search capabilities and some other information may not survive the process....

This was the plan all along. Bury the evidence.

The Jan. 6 committee is running into resistance after a portion of the House rules package proposed by Republicans singles out the panel’s work, seeking to block its records from being managed by the National Archives.

The GOP rules package would require the Archives to turn over any of the committee’s work to the House Administration Committee by Jan. 17, sidestepping a requirement that would prohibit their release for at least 30 years.

They need to hurry up and release the 14,000 hours of surveillance video from that day like Matt Gaetz said today. Otherwise it’s going to be put away for decades like the Kennedy assassination files.

I guess the 1954 shooting on the House floor by Three Puerto Rican terrorists isn't a big deal these days. Five lawmakers were shot.

Like the Kennedy assassination non-lone shooter evidence.

Suppressed until 50 years after the old age deaths of the last grandchildren of the corrupt DC Capitol police officers.

So here's the language in the Rules:

COMMITTEE ON HOUSE ADMINISTRATION.— (1) Any committee designated by the Speaker pursuant to section 7(b)(1) of House Resolution 503, One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, is directed to transfer any records obtained pursuant to such designation to the Committee on House Administration, not later than January 17, 2023.

(2) The Archivist is directed to transfer any noncurrent records of a committee designated by the Speaker pursuant to section 7(b)(1) of House Resolution 503, One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, and related to the select committee established pursuant to such resolution which have been archived pursuant to rule VII to the Committee on House Administration not later than January 17, 2023.

(3) Any records transferred or withdrawn pursuant to this subsection shall become the records of the Committee on House Administration.

The Media, the government and social media work hand-in-hand to shout down any truth that is out there.

Keep the committee alive, and put Boebert as the Chair.

Good point.

They’ve tried their hardest to turn this into a sinister
attempt to turn over the government, even though all people
wanted was for the votes to be verified to their satisfaction.

Well, here’s my question to the Scamacrats. If you had no intention of ever releasing all the information, then WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU BOTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHAT GOOD DID ALL THIS DO?

“ They’ve tried their hardest to turn this into a sinister

The great irony is that it is not possible for any attempt to overturn this government to be sinister, because the government itself is sinister.

I agree with that, but if you look at the list of weapons
folks had one them on 01/06, it’s just a criminal act to
describe those actions as an attempt to take over the
government.

Our government isn’t much help right now, but we aren’t the
only people with a bad government these days.

This old world is corrupt. When people start dying by the
100s of millions, we’ll see how the wokesters on the street
hold up.

I thought Gaetz said that all 14,000 hours were to be released.

I still have no representation in congress.
Efforts to contact reps of other districts are just forwarded to the Rep of our own districts, so a waste of time.
Cannot move again, current house is forever, fled Kali. back in ‘89 and it followed me to Nevada too few years later.
At this point I just feel sorry for the kids and glad I have none of my own.

If I had anyone to speak to I would demand that every last word, pic, and video be released today.

A DC police officer was killed defending former Pres. Truman from assassination at a home/office near the White House.

Back in those days, DC policemen did their jobs professionally. RIP to those who died in the line of duty.

If their evidence is so damning, as they have been saying, you would think they would be eager to release it to the public.

On the other hand...
