We saw how the Jan. 6 Committee wasn’t particularly interested in the truth. Rather, their whole purpose seemed to be about how they could spin things to smear former President Donald Trump and the Republicans prior to the 2022 midterms. They didn’t care about things that might deviate from or blow up their spin.
But now it looks like they may be in trouble themselves, according to a new bombshell report from Fox.
The House Administration Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee, led by Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), has been looking into the security failure that day as well as what the Jan. 6 Committee did.

But it turns out there was a little more to the story that has developed since then that Fox is revealing.
Sources told Fox that Thompson said he would be turning over four terabytes of data, then turned over only about two.

Loudermilk sent a letter to Thompson that Fox obtained….
