Dear Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans:
1) Why does the Justice Department consider 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured on January 6 by taxpayer-funded security cameras as “highly sensitive” government material? Why are even 30-second clips used in court proceedings under protective orders with strict rules about how defendants and their attorneys can view the evidence against them?
2) What is the status of the FBI’s lengthy investigation into the alleged “pipe bomber” and why, despite using every intrusive tool, including geofence warrants, to collect information on Capitol protesters, has the FBI not yet identified a suspect?
3) Is Ray Epps an FBI asset? If not, why has he not been charged despite clearly engaging in the same behavior that resulted in felony criminal charges against other January 6 participants?
4) Did the FBI run informants into alleged militia groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers before January 6? Can you confirm the New York Times reporting from September that disclosed at least two FBI informants were with the Proud Boys when they breached the first exterior barrier right before 1 p.m. on January 6?
5) Why is Stewart Rhodes—the founder of the Oath Keepers and “person one” in every indictment for the 20-defendant conspiracy case against the Oath Keepers—still not charged with any crime even though he clearly organized the alleged conspiracy and was on Capitol grounds on January 6?
6) Explain why the Justice Department, notwithstanding testimony to the contrary, had elite FBI forces stationed at Quantico the weekend before January 6. Hundreds of FBI agents were deployed to the area around the Capitol that morning and some entered the building with the first set of protesters who breached the actual building. Is this not a contradiction of what Justice Department and FBI officials previously testified under oath?
7) How many pre-trial detention orders has the Justice Department sought against January 6 defendants? How many remain behind bars right now? How many face nonviolent charges and have no criminal record? How can the Justice Department continue to ask for delays in trial dates for detained defendants—is this not a clear violation of the Sixth Amendment?
8) How many detainees have been held in solitary confinement conditions in the D.C. jail specifically used to house January 6 defendants?
9) Does any police officer face possible charges for excessive unlawful force, including the two D.C. Metro police officers who beat, punched, and maced Victoria White inside the lower west terrace tunnel on January 6?
10) Is there a formal investigation into the death of Rosanne Boyland outside that tunnel on January 6? Video and eyewitness accounts suggest she did not die of an accidental drug overdose but actually may have been the victim of police misconduct.
11) How many raids has the FBI conducted to arrest January 6 defendants and does this include Americans only charged with misdemeanors?
12) How much taxpayer money has the Department of Justice spent so far in what Merrick Garland called the agency’s largest investigation in history?
The Capitol riot was shameful but American democracy was never going to be toppled by a guy in face-paint & Viking horns & everybody except the demented, dishonest Democrat party knows it.

Over the past 13 years, from Obama to Trump and continuing through the Biden years, it has become increasingly challenging to discern truth from propaganda touted by our media and the political ruling class.
January 6th 2021 was a horrible day in our history. A tragic, heart-breaking, insane, historically-paradigm shifting day for all of us. I’d never belittle the events of the attack on the Capitol. It felt surreal.
The man in the Viking horns is bizarrely from my hometown. It is a deeply shameful moment in our history. BUT. At the same time, January 6th is not 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. It is not a day that was an act of war. It was not a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Americans.
I was absolutely disgusted that V.P. Harris would make such an intellectually dishonest comparison to our nation’s history. 4 people died on January 6th. But only 1 of those was caused by an act of violence being shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer. All of those losses are tragic.
But to put this in proper perspective, nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks on 9/11. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 U.S. personnel and destroyed 19 US. Navy ships leading to the dropping of 2 nuclear bombs on Japan.
9/11 led to America’s longest war in Afghanistan, a 20-year conflict for which we are still seeing an average of 20 veterans a day commit suicide. January 6th is NOT the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
It is NOT 9/11.
It is disrespectful to all our veterans, alive and dead, to say so. There is no comparison between the wars that brave Americans have fought and died in to the riotous attack on the Capitol. It’s not just wrong. It’s stupid.

Questions that we’ll NEVER get answers from, from the swamp.
