**Scandalous**
The heavily partisan January 6 Select Committee is coming under intense scrutiny as a recent report reveals its failure to address critical security lapses that led to the Capitol breach in 2021.
Chairman Barry Loudermilk of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee has released an interim report concluding that the Select Committee, spearheaded by Democrat Bennie Thompson and supported by Republican Liz Cheney, neglected its primary responsibility to analyze and rectify Capitol security flaws. Instead, they focused resources on creating a narrative implicating former President Donald Trump, leaving vital issues unexamined.
“This is not just a failure of oversight; it’s a deliberate act that undermined the security of the Capitol,” the report states, emphasizing that no new safety measures have been taken since the Committee's formation. In fact, the Capitol remains just as vulnerable today as it did on January 6, 2021.
The investigation highlighted a litany of security failures, including the refusal of both Capitol leadership and the Pentagon to act on advance warnings of potential violence. Notably, evidence indicates that orders from Trump to safeguard the Capitol during the protest were ignored.
Testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump’s Chief of Staff, was used prominently by the Select Committee to bolster their claims against Trump. However, a new review of her testimony suggests significant alterations and inconsistencies may have occurred, raising questions about the integrity of her initial statements. Notably, her claims were reportedly influenced by communications with Liz Cheney, prompting calls for a federal investigation into potential witness tampering.
Loudermilk's report further criticizes the Select Committee for withholding crucial evidence that could have provided a fairer representation of events surrounding January 6. Notably, a shocking revelation has surfaced from undisclosed footage showing former Speaker Nancy Pelosi acknowledging her responsibility and the failures of Democratic leadership regarding Capitol security.
The report points to the Pentagon's shortcomings in responding to the violent breach, specifically noting a “significant and intentional delay” in deploying the National Guard despite Trump’s direct orders three days prior. This detail underscores how the Select Committee’s investigations may have been a misdirection from the real culprits and failures of that fateful day.
The National Guard's delayed response and neglect in preparing for the rally on January 6 constitute a critical failure that remains unaddressed, begging the question of accountability among those who had the authority to act.
As the analysis of the events leading up to January 6 unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that accountability should extend well beyond Trump and should include those in leadership positions who ignored clear threats. The partisan approach of the Select Committee has not only failed to secure the Capitol but may have also obscured the truth of what transpired that day, raising serious concerns about the narratives being pushed by the left.
It is crucial now, more than ever, for lawmakers to reassess the findings of the January 6 probe and for the American people to understand the full context of the events. The failure to address the blatant security oversights must not be swept under the rug. Moving forward, transparency and accountability are essential to prevent such failures from recurring in the future.
