House Jan. 6 Committee Deleted Files Days Before GOP Majority in House: Report

[Messenger] 'It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation,' Loudermilk told Fox News

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 deleted hundreds of files just ahead of Republicans taking the majority in the lower chamber in January, according to and Oversight Subcommittee chairman who is leading a probe into the Select Committee.

The Oversight Subcommittee of the House Administration Committee is currently leading its own probe into the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., says that the panel had asked the Select Committee to turn in all documents related to its probe, according to a Fox News report.

Among the missing documents, Loudermilk cites "specific transcribed interviews and depositions to the White House and Department of Homeland Security."

Upon looking at a forensic analysis of the data they did turn in, Loudermilk's letter accuses Thompson of having deleted material on Jan. 1, 2023, days before the GOP gained majority of the House. He also says that materials were saved under undisclosed passwords.

"It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation. It also appears that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intended to obstruct our Subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by House rules," Loudermilk told Fox News Digital.

#1 I'd like to think that people will go to jail for this but I'm pretty that nothing like that will ever happen.

#2 However, there are ways to recover deleted files from computer hard drives. And if the files are "saved under undisclosed passwords", the hard drive can be removed from the computer and analyzed by another computer. I wonder if anybody in Congress knows anything at all about computers.

#3 Most of the gummint's "cybersecurity" experts were in on the steal in 2020. We'd be better off contracting the FSB's data techs to recover the stuff.

Sources say over 117 have been recovered and were found encrypted.

Lets say they used Triple DES maybe sometime in 2030. ☺

#9 It might be interesting if they released the contents of those files.

Look for a lot of "I promise not to *** in your mouth" type promises and nothing more.

#12 Something I learned over the last 3 years is that obstruction of Congress carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
