January 6 Committee Destroyed Records, Videos; Trump’s Rights Violated​

Aug 9, 2023

The January 6 Committee defied a demand last year by incoming Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) that it preserve all of its records, evidence, and transcripts, and has destroyed much of what it collected over more than a year of investigation.

The House select committee that investigated the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 failed to adequately preserve documents, data and video depositions – including communications it had with the Biden White House that are still missing – according to the Republican lawmaker overseeing the GOP investigation into the committee’s work.

The now-disbanded “J6” committee, which was run by Democrats and included only two GOP members, has also failed to provide any evidence that it looked into Capitol Hill security failures on the day of the riot, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the Committee on House Administration, told Fox News Digital.

“Nothing was indexed. There was no table of contents index. Usually when you conduct this level of investigation, you use a database system and everything is digitized, indexed. We got nothing like that. We just got raw data,” he said. “So it took us a long time going through it and one thing I started realizing is we don’t have anything much at all from the Blue Team [which was to have investigated security lapses].”

Mr Mccarthy should have nominated rational republicans for the January 6th committee instead of the two Jims from Indiana and Ohio. Mccarthy had zero power in November or December to demand anything from the committee. If you want competent leadership in the republican party y'all will need to find better candidates for whom to vote. Voters are responsible for holding their politicians accountable at the ballot box. Or keep reelecting immaturity and incompetence. I tell the folks at breitbart the same thing a few times a week. An emotional motley crew they are.

I predict this will be debunked within 24 hours.

The Jan 6th committee was just another get Trump Russia Hoax, and the recent findings on the destruction of records is a testament to this fact

Then why should Kevin need any information obtained from the committee? Especially after HE withdrew his republican nominees for this January 6th committee? This is not Burger King- you cannot have it your own way with only biased rhetoric.

It's House rules and the law to maintain all records from committees, the Democrat run Jan 6th committee violated the law, your response is a complete distraction to these rules and laws

To go even further, the DOJ based there charges and indictment on the Jan 6th committee information and recommended action

Conclusion: The indictment and charges are based upon fairy tales and fabrication, with the Jan 6th committee destruction of records being a future dismissal of the charges and case of Donald J. Trump

House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, has started handing over evidence and transcripts from its probe to the Department of Justice, according to two sources familiar with the matter.​

​

Special counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee parts of the DOJ’s investigation into the insurrection, sent a letter to the committee earlier this month requesting all of the information from the panel’s investigation, one of the sources told CNN.​

​

Smith’s investigators will ultimately have all of the evidence the House committee has obtained, the source said.​

So it was all turned over to the DOJ, and Smith sure must have appreciated all the work and all the testimony from Republicans.

The Breitbart piece is a desperate attempt to deflect attention from Trump's indictments other legal issues. It is a spin piece from the far right that does not back up its claims with proof. It is just hearsay.

Exactly.
GOP leadership doesn’t have all of the data gathered because another agency (DOJ) does have it and is actively using it in the continuing investigations and prosecution of Mister Trump.
Edit:
This could also be a scheme to get evidence out into the public that one of the defendants is barred from putting out into the public-sphere himself, due to “rules” that he doesn’t like.

Debunked by Smith himself in a court filing this afternoon (seems my 24 hour prediction was pessimistic).

During the initial appearance hearing on August 3, defense counsel argued that a principal reason for delaying trial in this matter is the defendant’s need to review discovery. See 8/3/2023 Hr’g Tr. at 14-17. It is perplexing, then, that the defense has refused to accept the discovery thatt the Government has ready, even on an interim basis under the Government’s proposed protective order while the parties litigate the ultimate protective order in this case. In any event, although there is a large amount of discovery in this case—including witness interviews, grand jury transcripts, and evidence obtained through numerous sealed search warrants—the Government has gone to great lengths to organize materials for the defendant to assist him in his review. These efforts include providing him a compilation of certain key evidence on which the indictment relies...

That article from December was at the time the committee was winding down to a finish and what they were doing with the records. They were already turning them over to the DOJ, and planned to continue it.

The articles you provided were partisan accusations without any evidence at all. People making claims and charges is not evidence.

Inside the Jan. 6 committee’s massive new evidence trove

The panel's evidence provides the clearest glimpse yet at the well-coordinated effort by some Trump allies to help Trump seize a second term he didn’t win.

www.politico.com

The Jan. 6 select committee has unloaded a vast database of its underlying evidence — emails between Trump attorneys, text messages among horrified White House aides and outside advisers, internal communications among security and intelligence officials — all coming to grips with then-President Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to subvert the 2020 election and its disastrous consequences.​

​

The panel posted thousands of pages of evidence late Sunday in a public database that provide the clearest glimpse yet at the well-coordinated effort by some Trump allies to help Trump seize a second term he didn’t win. Much of the evidence has never been seen before and, in some cases, adds extraordinary new elements to the case the select committee presented in public — from voluminous phone records to contemporaneous text messages and emails.​

That is a real interesting read.

Not one word deals with the destruction of the Jan 6th committees records

 

[FreeinChrist]

It is rather funny that the GOP is echoing Trump's lie that the Jan. 6th committee destroyed records.

When the Jan 6 committee wanted the records, many were tape up, having been torn up by Trump.

Trump tore up records turned over to House Capitol attack committee

National Archives says it received ripped-up documents from White House before turning them over to Congress

www.theguardian.com

Some of the White House records turned over to the House committee investigating the January 6 attack were ripped up by Donald Trump, the National Archives said.​

It also emerged on Tuesday that the former president thinks his own vice-president, Mike Pence, should be investigated by the committee, for failing to reject electoral college results on the fateful day.​

​

Documents obtained by the January 6 panel include diaries, schedules, handwritten notes, speeches and remarks. The supreme court rejected Trump’s attempt to stop the National Archives turning them over to Congress.​

In a statement, the Archives said: “Some of the Trump presidential records received by the National Archives and Records Administration included paper records that had been torn up by former president Trump.​
