Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday said he will establish a new select subcommittee that will probe the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — and likely dig into the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee that was led by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) will chair the upcoming select subcommittee, which will be housed within the House Judiciary Committee.
Loudermilk pursued his own Jan. 6 investigation within the House Administration Committee, and had long been asking Johnson to break out the probe into its own entity.
Being classified as a “select” subcommittee means that Johnson will have the sole official power to decide which members sit on the panel.
The move comes as many Republicans, including Johnson, have defended or brushed aside President Trump’s pardons this week of nearly all rioters involved in the Jan. 6 attack, including those who violently assaulted police officers.
“House Republicans are proud of our work so far in exposing the false narratives peddled by the politically motivated January 6 Select Committee during the 117th Congress, but there is still more work to be done,” Johnson said in a statement. “We are establishing this Select Subcommittee to continue our efforts to uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people.”
Loudermilk in a statement said that he hoped to “uncover all the facts and begin the arduous task of making needed reforms to ensure this level of security failure may never happen again.”
But beyond security concerns, Republicans have been eager to continue investigating the original Jan. 6 select committee, with which Republican leadership refused to participate or cooperate.
Loudermilk in December released a report evaluating the “failures and politicization” of the Jan. 6 committee, and recommending a criminal investigation into Cheney,...

Good!
Can he put Nancy Pelosi on the witness stand under oath?
Along with Adam Kinzinger and Lyin’ Liz Cheney.
The unselect committee committed crimes, which is why they received pardons. Those crimes need to be investigated and made public.
And Adam Shit.
This day, we read President Trump as he identified: "....the Radical Left's Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX."
Run this committee with Thor’s hammer.
STOP. I can’t handle this much winning.;-)
“the original Jan. 6 select committee, with which Republican leadership refused to participate or cooperate.”
weren’t they refusing to cooperate because the dems would not let them select who they wanted?
I also want to know the truth about Obama's birth certificate; the accusations of Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Paula Jones; Hillary's emails; and the 2020 election.
And note tagline.
Add in orange jumpsuits and it would be priceless!
There are those left out of bidens blanket pardon bingo. They need to be approached with a choice, testify under oath for immunity. The American people need to know the injustice these despicable skells have put upon us. Schiff, pelousi, schumer, rafkin, cheny
We should stop being disrespectful to excrement. 😉
He is an insult to it.
He and Schumer are still doing the resistance thing. Hope they come to regret it. I think a lot of Americans are feeling released from restrictions (EV cars, no gas stoves, don’t use air conditioning, careful of the exact gender you call someone, can they speak up at a school board meeting) and also want a break from the Dem fighting the winner of the long election process.
Lighten up, Dems.
I CAN.
I REVEL IN IT.
I tried reveling in it. I had so much fun I got dizzy and passed out.;-)
Uhhh its about effing time. I’ve been screaming for this for 2 years.
hopefully this goes further than trey gowdy’s sham show ‘trials’ did
Meanwhile SeeBS News just had a segment on released J-6 prisoners that made it look like President Trump just freed a legion of dangerous terrorists.
But when Biden released actual dangerous terrorists: ZZZzzzzzzz...
Pelosi outright rejected Jim Jordan and one other, from serving, and then, picked her own RINOs.
The committee was a farce before it even started.
