Republican lawmakers are calling for investigations into a House committee and its members after the release of security footage that captured the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah called for the investigation of the now-defunct United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, which determined that the riot was an attempted coup by then-President Trump. They said the tapes present a much different view of the chaos at the Capitol that day.
“The J6 committee was a sham,” Mr. Nehls said on X. “I knew it then. Everyone knows it now. Let’s investigate the investigators.”
The calls for an investigation of the Democratic-led committee began after House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the planned release of more than 40,000 hours of security video footage from the Capitol that day. The footage will be released in batches over the next several months.
The first round of about 90 hours of footage was released Friday on the website of the House Administration Committee, which reviewed the tapes and authorized their release.
“This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” said Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican.
Mr. Trump used social media to laud the speaker’s “courage and fortitude” in making the security video public. He said the tapes “will explicitly reveal what really happened on January 6th.”
Mr. Lee accused two of the committee’s prominent members, former Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a Republican, and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a Democrat, of deliberately hiding the security footage.

I am fairly certain that I saw similar videos taken by patriots who were there posted right here on Freerepublic soon after J6.
Along with that other POS Kizinger.
Maybe they are closet democrats.
Can Adam Kinzinger’s family “double disown” him, now?
I’ll pay them for the certified mail, this time.
It should have been useless, but some US voters are still gullible. They find the Reichstag False Flag actors more convincing than thousands of hours of videos of peaceful protesters.
After trump locks up Hilary, I will bite. Otherwise it’s the same old grift.
I am pleased that Mike Johnson has been able to do as much as he has. Still a long way to go.
Since the J6 Committee knew about this footage, and suppressed it, denying it to Matthew Perna’s defense attorney, can’t they be held criminally liable for his death?
I doubt they would have a decent jury if the venue was DC. My guess is they were counting on DC injustice. Maybe his family could sue elsewhere. But it's not just the J6 committee.
I'd say because they are almost all fatally compromised by the deep state
😂
I will never forget Senator Chuck Schumer warning Trump that he can't disrespect and challenge the intelligence agencies as they can kill him or something similar. The Deep State runs WA DC. The FBI has been corrupt and blackmailing legislators, judges, reporters, and others since the days of J. Edgar Hoover.
Liz Cheny executed for treason?
I believe that the congress critters have always had access to the video. The claim that the police fired on a peaceful crowd was made on Day one.
Why have repub lawmakers ...?

Perp walk will do. Everything else is gravy.

Release them all now!
Let us decide which ones are important.
I watched a few of them, and none were released that showed Antifa and FBI Rioters proving that it WASN’T Trump people that were the ringleaders and troublemakers!

Yes, the truth/facts are out there!
