Democrats are trying to insulate their Jan 6. probe from scrutiny because they know they destroyed and suppressed evidence.
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s scrapped omnibus spending bill would have made it nearly impossible for congressional investigators to expose what the corrupt Jan. 6 Select Committee was trying to cover up at a time when new facts are coming to light about the extent of the Select Committee’s censorship and destruction of records.
A section in the bloated omnibus spending bill, which would have funded the government through March 2025, allowed lawmakers to block subpoenas that demand information from the House — a provision obviously aimed at shielding members of the now-defunct Select Committee from further scrutiny and possible criminal charges.
Given recent revelations about the Select Committee on January 6, it’s no wonder House Democrats tried to sneak a section into the sprawling spending bill that would have protected them. An interim report released earlier this week by House Republicans shows that the overarching goal of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee was to hide the truth about Jan. 6 and concoct a narrative blaming President Donald Trump for the riots at the U.S. Capitol that day.
The top lines from the nearly 130-page report by the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, as my colleague Tristan Justice detailed, are shocking enough on their own.
The Jan. 6 Committee destroyed more than a terabyte of digital data, including video records of hundreds of witness interviews that House Republicans examining the committee were unable to access, along with more than 100 encrypted, password protected documents, for which Democrats never provided the passwords.
The report also confirmed that Former Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, colluded with “star witness” Cassidy Hutchinson using the encrypted...

Lock her up!
Dont assume it was the Dems that tried to sneak that by.
Does Congress have the ability to “let someone off the hook?” As far as I know, no, they don’t. The President has the ability to pardon or commute, but Congress doesn’t have any such power.
Reply to this as a reason for giving ALL of them pardons.
Johnson helped negotiate this. Dude is a snake.
Biden will pardon them all.
"The Secretary may not revise the Vaccine Injury Table to include a vaccine for which the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention has issued a recommendation for routine use in children or pregnant women until at least one application for such vaccine has been approved.
What a disgrace that dead CR was!
It also had all kinda Vax, biolab, and vaccine passport bullshit in it.
And Mike making like it’s all just normal.
I’m just wondering if such a thing is under the purview of Congress.
The Republicans gave Biden whatever he wanted.
The Republicans - and Massie - raised the Debt ceiling for Biden and then moved back the Debt Ceiling Vote until lame duck time for Joe Biden.
As predicted, now the GOP is going to pretend they’re fiscal hawks after spending Trillions for Joe, and every woke program out there.
It is impossible to pay off the over $36 Trillion dollar debt. Ask any mathematician.
This is like Trump’s first term, the Republicans wouldn’t fund the Wall due to costs.
And Johnson went to the floor with that bill. Is there more to this or is he that big of a rhino scumbag and thus should be on his way out? Or is he playing the cards Trump asked him to?
The bill was going to curtail subpoena power against Congress critters.
That bill has not failed.
Not yet.
The vote on the 116 page bill shows that Hakeem Jeffries has a functional 235 seat majority (215 + 20 Republicans) for any matters of vital interest to the Left and the Deep State. Sometimes this majority can grow to 245 or more.
It’s not a MAGA House and it’s time to stop pretending that it is.
Well, I guess we should just give up and wear sack cloth and ashes, then.
...NEGATIVE, send her to Gitmo and hang her!
And throw away the key.
I doubt it.
Sure they can. They can make matters into crimes, and abolish crimes already in the books
