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. The J6 Committee, chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), was supposed to turn over their files to the new GOP-led panel.
I wrote last year about the failure of the Committee to turn over all the information to the Republicans and how it was turned over in a completely unorganized manner. Plus, the Committee also had questionable contact with the White House, including about an “agreement” between the Jan. 6 Committee and the executive branch “to interview personnel whose names were later redacted.”
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. But Loudermilk’s Committee hired a forensics team to scrape the hard drives and found out that 117 files were deleted and encrypted. They were deleted on Jan. 1, 2023 – just days before the GOP was to take over and Thompson had to turn over the data.
But even though they tried to delete the information, it looks like they weren’t smart enough to do it right. According to the report, the forensics team recovered all 117 deleted and encrypted files, and now Loudermilk is demanding to know what was going on here and how to get into the files.
Loudermilk sent a letter to Thompson that Fox obtained….
