EXCLUSIVE: The former House Select Committee on Jan. 6 deleted more than 100 encrypted files from its probe just days before Republicans took over the majority in the House of Representatives, Fox News Digital has learned.

The House Administration Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee is leading an investigation into Jan. 6, 2021, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga. The panel is investigating the security failures on that day, as well as the “actions” of the former select committee investigating the Capitol riot.

Loudermilk, last week, told Fox News Digital his investigation has entered a “new phase” with renewed support from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who has committed additional resources to the panel’s investigation.

So bring the IT team in under oath, and make them explain why those files cannot be recovered from backups.

Yes, for starters.

The “Committee” didn’t do it.
A person did it.
Find out who it was, and . . .

100% - once you think it cant get anymore like a Banana republic , these clowns collected so much evidence that went against their accusations they actually destroyed it. I imagine there has to be laws against this. Open an investigation now.

Agree

Pelosi caused the Jan 6th event and the Congressional panel are protecting her for doing it.

especially when Jordan issued a "document hold" order, making it illegal to destroy any documents.

“Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.”

We should all be sending this to our congressman & Mike Johnson. Time to start playing hardball with these people, just like they do.

Obstructing an official Congressional investigation AND Process of Congress

The Democrats used some kind of shenanigans so that I am not sure this was an “official Congressional investigation”. In a normal congressional investigation, the minority gets to choose its own members who participate. That certainly did not happen this time with two Trump haters as the only Republicans. Dems in DC are evil but they are smart.

A lot of folks need to go to prison. Whoever ordered stuff done needs to be tried for treason and hanged.

One of the most vile and corrupt political figures of this century. I don’t say evil often, but that woman is evil and has to be extremely compromised to do what she did not only to innocent Americans, put also to innocent members of her own political party. A complete fraud of a person and doesn’t have an ounce of integrity.
