Investigate The Investigators: J6 Committee Ignored, Manipulated Evidence For ‘Narrative,’ GOP Rep Says
“Basically, all they did after spending $18.5 million was come out with a manifesto against [former President Donald Trump], trying to tie Donald Trump to the attack on the Capitol,” Loudermilk said in an interview with The Daily Wire. “That was their narrative. Everything that they did appears to be to just come up with that narrative.”
The Georgia Republican requested all of the January 6 committee records from its former chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS). What Loudermilk received showed how the January 6 committee omitted key facts about the riot in its final report, he said.
The most shocking discovery that Loudermilk made, he said, was evidence that showed “there were some plain-clothes law enforcement officers” among the rioters “who were encouraging people to go into the Capitol.”
He said the January 6 committee also manipulated evidence and made false claims, in one instance targeting him. The report says Loudermilk gave a tour of the U.S. Capitol to a man later accused of joining the riot. The man “took a tour of the Capitol with Representative Barry Loudermilk, during which he took pictures of hallways and staircases,” the report says.
The Georgia congressman says that is false. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger told the committee that, while Loudermilk did lead a tour of several people around some of the Capitol Hill offices and hallways, they never entered the Capitol building.
