House Republicans are flexing their muscles with the announcement of a new panel aimed at investigating the partisanship of the January 6 Committee, even after President Joe Biden handed out pardons like Halloween candy. This enterprise is not just a wild goose chase; it’s a thorough investigation intended to uncover the shenanigans that unfolded at the Capitol that fateful day.
Under the direction of Rep. Barry Loudermilk from Georgia, a select subcommittee will form as part of the House Judiciary Committee, which has Speaker Mike Johnson practically bursting with campaign-worthy rallying cries. Johnson boasted about their efforts in revealing the “false narratives” spun by the Democrats during the last Congress. Apparently, it’s now on Loudermilk to shine a light on what some see as untold truths about the January 6 saga.

Previously, Loudermilk was the captain of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, which unleashed 40,000 hours of security footage from that day, a treasure trove of information that government watchdogs would love to sink their teeth into. The effort revealed that Liz Cheney and her cronies suppressed interviews contradicting her theatrical claims. Interestingly, after the January 6 Committee’s performance, Cheney herself accepted a pardon for her role in the alleged witness tampering involving Cassidy Hutchinson, Trump’s then-lowly aide whose story morphs more frequently than a Hollywood blockbuster script.
Revelations continue to roll in that could leave many with raised eyebrows: the former Committee Chair allegedly buried crucial evidence, including the nugget that Trump had actually pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to bolster security at the Capitol. While Cheney dramatically claimed she had “no evidence” for these assertions, transcripts from interviews held during the committee’s investigation tell a different story—one that features key witnesses who heard White House officials discussing the need for more boots on the ground.
As Republican Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan puts it, this has become a mission to lift the fog created by the previous committee’s dubious findings. Loudermilk is stepping up to not only regain lost trust but to meticulously lay bare the factual discrepancies that were sanitized or ignored outright. Capturing the absurdity of the situation, even former committee members now stand accused of colluding on potentially damaging narratives aimed at harming Trump’s image.
Furthermore, the intense scrutiny extends beyond just Cheney. New findings indicate there may have been collusion between the Democrats’ committee and Special Counsel Jack Smith, the man tasked with prosecuting Trump. This suggests a deeply entangled web of political maneuvering that raises questions about the integrity of the investigations perpetrated against the former president. The report notes not just potential threats to Cheney’s political future but also about the broader implications of using unproven claims for partisan gamesmanship. The forthcoming inquiry will likely keep the political theater alive and well in the nation’s capital.
