During a recent interview with Eric Bolling, President Trump blasted the J6 “Unselect” Committee for a cover-up.
The sham J6 “unselect” committee has failed to turn over a considerable number of documents to be included in the House record concerning the security lapses that precipitated the events at the Capitol on January 6th. Per the House Republican Majority, the now defunct Democrat-led committee refused to index the documents, omitted records related to January 6 security failures, failed to include particular witness depositions, and wiped communications with the Biden White House.
“So now that I have full Subpoena Power because of the Freedom of Speech Sham Indictment by Crooked Joe Biden, Deranged Jack Smith, and the DOJ, it has just been reported that the Unselect January 6th Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs has illegally destroyed their Records and Documents. This is unthinkable, and the Fake Political Indictment against me must be immediately withdrawn. The system is Rigged & Corrupt, very much like the Presidential Election of 2020. We are a Nation in Decline!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
In November 2022, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) wrote a letter to House January 6th Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), urging the preservation of committee records for the upcoming Republican-controlled Congress in January 2023. McCarthy also indicated that Republicans intended to conduct hearings to investigate why the Capitol was deemed “not secure” on January 6, 2021.
“The American people chose Republicans to lead the 118th Congress. On January 3, 2023, your work as Chairman of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol will come to an end. For those reasons, I remind you and your staff on the Committee to preserve all records collected and transcripts of testimony taken during your investigation in accordance with House Rule VII. As the Chairman, regardless of who may be directing the work of the Committee, you are responsible for the work done by its members and staff,” the letter read.
Trump told Bolling on Wednesday that the Democrats destroying the records was a “criminal act”.
“Now that we have the subpoena power, because we now have subpoena power, all of a sudden, the J6 Committee, the “Unselect” I call them, everything was deleted and destroyed. The documents – everything was deleted and destroyed. That’s a criminal act,” Trump told Bolling.
“All of that stuff, all of that nonsense you watch for a year and a half, go on with all Democrats and two so-called Republicans, but they were worse than any of the Democrats – Kinzinger and Cheney – it’s all been deleted and gotten rid of. They deleted it because they didn’t want anybody to see it, because the real answers were there, but they didn’t want to report it,” Trump added.
Watch:
Per Fox News, Bennie Thompson (D-MS), a Democrat, conveyed in a letter to House Republicans that, “Consistent with guidance from the Office of the Clerk and other authorities, the Select Committee did not archive temporary committee records that were not elevated by the Committee’s actions, such as use in hearings or official publications, or those that did not further its investigative activities.”
The letter went on to state, “Accordingly, and contrary to your letter’s implication, the Select Committee was not obligated to archive all video recordings of transcribed interviews or depositions. Based on guidance from House authorities, the Select Committee determined that the written transcripts provided by nonpartisan, professional official reporters, which the witnesses and Select Committee staff had the opportunity to review for errata, were the official, permanent records of transcribed interviews and depositions for the purposes of rule VII.”
Video compilations exposed the double standards of the far-left lawmakers with regard to tampering with evidence during their televised trial of President Trump.
