House Jan. 6 Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority
An investigation is underway following the discovery that 117 encrypted files related to the January 6 riots were deleted by the now-disbanded House Select January 6 Committee.
The digital forensics team employed by the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight made the discovery of the data deletion, which occurred on January 1, 2023, just before Republicans took the majority in January of the same year. The Committee, despite disbanding, managed to recover the password-protected files, shedding light on potential attempts to shield certain information from public scrutiny.
Representative Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), a member of the subcommittee, confirmed the accuracy of the reports, stating, “Unfortunately, at this time, we cannot determine what was in the deleted files.” The incident has prompted concerns among lawmakers, with Representative Greg Murphy (R-NC) questioning the motives behind the deletion: “What are they trying to hide? Their whole plan was to ‘get to the truth of the matter’. They obviously didn’t want the real truth, just ‘their’ truth.”
Fox News Digital reported that Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) has written to former House January 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), requesting passwords to access the data demanding he provide answers and passwords for the data, which was deleted against House rules. Loudermilk pointed out discrepancies in the amount of data turned over, noting that Thompson had claimed to provide 4 terabytes of digital files, but the archived hard drives contained less than 3 terabytes.
The discrepancies included missing records, such as the identity of an individual whose testimony was not archived, specific transcribed interviews, and depositions sent to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security. Loudermilk’s follow-up letters to these entities emphasized the need for “unedited and unredacted transcripts” of testimonies.
Loudermilk demanded compliance with the requests by January 24 and requested a list of passwords for password-protected files. He questioned why the former January 6 Select Committee would prevent Americans from seeing all the evidence produced in their investigation if they had nothing to hide.
The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.
Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.
Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.
Politico reported:
Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’
The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.
But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.
This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
