House May Refer January 6 Committee Members for Prosecution
Breitbart ^ | 03/14/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) said Wednesday that he may refer members of the January 6 Committee to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution for hiding and destroying documents.

Loudermilk has been investigating the work of the January 6 Committee, and discovered last year that the Committee had destroyed documents and other records, despite being warned by then-incoming Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to preserve all of the evidence it had collected in months of investigations and closed-door testimony.

He told John Solomon of JusttheNews.com that it was possible members of the committee could face prosecution:

True, but Liz Cheney is still Dick Cheney’s daughter and is of no use to Democrats anymore. Perhaps prosecute her as the fall person for partisan reasons? Obviously official documents were destroyed. Punish Liz for it, I don’t care. She’s worse than the Democrats on that farce committee because the media could call it “bi-partisan” along with Crybaby Kinzy.

Maybe if the rest of the DOJ and FBI and CIA and many other agencies get THE MESSAGE THAT TRUMP IS GOING TO BECOME PRESIDENT, THEY WILL START BEHAVING LIKE HONEST, UPSTANDING, RESPONSIBLE ADULTS AND COME OUT “EN MASSE” TO REPORT THE INSIDIOUS ACTIVITY THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ...YEARS...AND YEARS.

IT’S JUST THAT THIS TIME...THEY WENT TOO FAR.

I PRAY THAT HAPPENS.

He should have kept his mouth shut until after January 20, 2025. Slow Joe will give them all pardons.

“ Meeting in committees”

The J6 House l kangaroo Court “committee” was very careful that they did not make it an official congressional committee, so that they did not have to follow the rules of committees and allow the Republican leader to appoint the Republican members of the committee.

Because the Democrats actually can have it “both ways“ they will now flip flop to make sure that it is considered a committee so that they cannot be held accountable. It is discouraging and disgusting.

I don't think this is true.

Nancy Pelosi invoked a special "speaker" rule when she formed that committee.

The committee was authorized by House Resolution H.R. 503 - Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Summary of the resolution:

This resolution establishes in the House of Representatives the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

The select committee must (1) conduct an investigation of the relevant facts and circumstances relating to the attack on the Capitol; (2) identify, review, and evaluate the causes of and the lessons learned from this attack; and (3) submit a report containing findings, conclusions, and recommendations to prevent future acts of violence, domestic terrorism, and domestic violent extremism, and to improve the security of the U.S. Capitol Complex and other American democratic institutions.

The select committee consists of 13 Members of the House appointed by the Speaker; 5 must be appointed after consultation with the minority leader. The resolution gives the select committee specified powers, including the authority to hold hearings, receive evidence, and issue subpoenas. It also requires other House committees to share relevant records with the select committee within 14 days of the resolution's adoption or receipt of such records.

The normal House rule on committees is this:

RULE I. - The Speaker

11. The Speaker shall appoint all select, joint, and conference committees ordered by the House. At any time after an original appointment, the Speaker may remove Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner from, or appoint additional Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner to, a select or conference committee. In appointing Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commissioner to conference committees, the Speaker shall appoint no less than a majority who generally supported the House position as determined by the Speaker, shall name those who are primarily responsible for the legislation, and shall, to the fullest extent feasible, include the principal proponents of the major provisions of the bill or resolution passed or adopted by the House.

Pelosi appointed Liz Cheney as the ranking Republican member of the committee and allowed Kevin McCarthy to appoint five Republicans. McCarthy appointed Jim Jordan, Jim Banks, Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong, and Try Nehls to the J6 committee. Pelosi then rejected Jordan and Banks. After that, McCarthy removed the remaining Republicans from the committee. Pelosi then named Adam Kinzinger as the second Republican on the committee.
