"It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation," Loudermilk said...
Forensic investigators hired by a Republican-led committee recovered more than 100 encrypted files that the Democratic-led House Jan. 6 Select Committee deleted days before the GOP took over the House majority, according to a new report released Monday.
House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chair Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., sent a letter to former Select Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., demanding he provide answers and passwords for the data, which was deleted against House rules, according to Fox News Digital.
The Oversight Subcommittee, which is investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the former select committee, should have received four terabytes of archived data from the select committee after Republicans entered the majority in January 2023, but it obtained less than three terabytes of data.
The subcommittee hired a digital forensics team to determine what information was not handed over, and the team discovered 117 files that were encrypted and deleted on Jan. 1, 2023, two days before Republicans were sworn into the majority, according to the report.
Loudermilk said in his letter to Thompson that the Mississippi Democrat acknowledged over the summer that the select committee "did not archive all Committee records as required by House Rules" and had "sent specific transcribed interviews and depositions to the White House and Department of Homeland Security but did not archive them with the Clerk of the House."
One recovered file detailed an individual whose testimony was not archived, but "most of the recovered files are password-protected, preventing us from determining what they contain," Loudermilk also said.
The Georgia Republican is demanding Thompson provide a "list of passwords" for all select committee files. He also wrote letters to the White House and Homeland Security Department asking for "unedited and unredacted transcripts" of testimony from their officials before the former select committee.
"It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation," Loudermilk told the news network. "It also appears that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intended to obstruct our Subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by House rules."
This is not the first report of missing data from the Jan. 6 select committee. Loudermilk told the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show last year that all videotapes from select committee depositions are missing.
I bet the Democrats have forgotten all the passwords for those password-protected files.
Um, isn’t this willful destruction of documents “Obstruction of Congress”?
Isn’t the FBI supposed to be prosecuting this?
What? No Bleach-bit?
NOOBS! - Hillary
Those MAGA Republicans are making Liz sad! Stop in the name of “our precious democracy”!
They will slow-walk this to make sure nothing is revealed until after it no longer matters.
If there are any good guys and gals still working at NSA, they could crack this coded B$ during their morning coffee break and have time for a refill of coffee.
Nancy and Lez tampered with evidence
The Democrats’ obsession with “Cleaning” emerged with Hillary.
Now we see that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths
<><>to prevent Americans from seeing certain J6 documents produced in their investigation
<><>J6 investigators Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intended to obstruct a House Subcommittee
<><>the two failed to preserve critical information and videos as required by House rules.
<><>last year we found videotapes from the J6 select committee depositions are missing.
Democrats rules for governance:
Leave no evidence.
Leave no witnesses.
Leave no money on the table.
“...tampered with evidence...”
and aren’t there criminal laws that protect the public from such??????

Hillary’s team bleached hard drives, wiped datum and smashed devices. Were they held accountable?

Easy. Run a password-cracker on said files. It may take awhile for the program to work, but should do the job!
WOW! This very good news. I bet Liz Cheney is deeply saddened by this news.
guess the liberals didnt ‘wipe it with a cloth’
‘recovered’ like with a cloth?.................
would be excellent IF they coudl determine who deleted them as well- if it was liz- then wow
