This could be the largest bleached Republicans of all

Washington – Republican efforts to formally rewrite the history of the insurrection of January 6, 2021 in the United States Capitol, and the role of President Donald Trump, are ready to reach new vertiginal heights.

Although the president of the Mike Johnson house (R-La.) First announced That a new committee of January 6 would be formed seven months ago, it was not until Wednesday that the Republicans of the House of Representatives in silence Approved authorization For a new committee in a procedural vote linked to totally unrelated measures.

The representative Barry Loudermilk (R-G.), Who presided over a similar committee in the previous Congress, will lead the new panel. “We were opening new information when it ended the last time,” Loudermilk said, as new details about the FBI informants paid than STATE IN CONTACT WITH THE ROOM. The Inspector General of the Department of Justice said in December 2024 that the FBI informants were on the scene, but did not play any role in the Orchestra of the Disturbances.

News themezone asked Loudermilk if he maintains that Trump’s supporters did not attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an effort to interrupt the certification of Trump’s electoral loss in the previous November. He stuttered in response.

“I have not seen, well, I mean, you have to define the president’s support, you know, Trump’s supporter. He was committed to that? We have not seen any evidence that he was involved in that,” said Loudermilk.

To recapitulate: Trump lied about electoral fraud for months, he told their supporters to come to Washington for a “wild“Rally, he told them to do”Fight like hell“During a speech near the White House, he told them to go to the Capitol, where they Fought like hell Against the policeviolated the building and sent the legislators, and then vice president Mike Pence- Run in unleashed locations.

And as for any “evidence” that Trump was involved in the efforts to stop the victory certification of former President Joe Biden, the opportunity for the public Get more information It was written mainly after Trump won the 2024 elections. With the sweeping immunity granted To the presidents of the Supreme Court, the investigation of special lawyer Jack Smith on the issue was Quickly closed.

The Democrats did not hesitate to declare the obvious: the Republican Committee of January 6 is an effort to rewrite history.

“They are trying to pretend that the mafia did not attacked on January 6,” Zoe Lofgren representative (D-Calif.), A member of the original committee of January 6. “I think they think that the American people must be stupid, because in the committee we made a Extensive bipartisan reportand then we publish the findings everywhere. “

Another former member of the Original Committee of January 6, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD.), Said that he would happily serve in the new panel, which is a subcommittee of the Judicial Committee of the Chamber.

“They have not put a glove in a single finding of the Acts of the Select Committee in the attack on January 6, so all they are doing is giving us the opportunity to educate the younger generations of Americans about what happens when you listen to an authoritarian who wants to ignore the rule of law,” Raskin told News themezone.

“They are trying to pretend that the mafia did not attack on January 6. I think they think that the American people must be stupid.”

A resolution for the new committee describes it as an effort to investigate the “remaining questions surrounding January 6, 2021”, A curious label since the Republicans in 2021 resisted by establishing the type of bipartisan commission of investigation of facts that Congress generally creates after the great disasters.

AND Many Republicans of the House of Representatives, when they give the opportunity to voluntarily cooperate with the original select committee of January 6, in general they refused to do so, Even when they are formally cited. The then president of the house, Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Elected two Republican members for the Committee: then repetitions. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) And Adam Kinzinger (R-Bill.). Since then, both have been expelled from the Republican Party.

Loudermilk was briefly examined by the original committee of January 6 after January 5 security images It arose that showing what the members of the committee said it seemed to be the legislator that offers an apparent tour of “recognition” to a small group of Trump supporters within the complex Capitol. Some of his guests were in the rally the next day, but were not accused of crimes; Capitol Police He said nothing He suspected on the tour.

However, one of Loudermilk visitors appeared in video images acquired by the Committee. The Loudermilk guest filmed another man who wielded a sharp asta to the Trump’s rally, and when the man who wielded the flag said that the improvised weapon was “for a certain person,” the Loudermilk visitor replied: he replied :: “That’s right. That’s for someone special.” Later that day, the Loudermilk visitor walked to the Capitol and filmed threatening to take out the legislators from the Capitol for “their hairs.”

The Loudermilk meeting with the original committee of January 6 led to its interest in leading a opposite committee. He told News themezone last year that he was used to work “because he had a first -hand experience of how the Select Committee selected and manipulated information to obtain a false narration.”

Lofgren said Loudermilk never answered the committee questions about his tour, which was not included in the final report.

“All we asked was: ‘Who is this guy, how did this happen?'” Said Lofgren. “He never replied.”

This week, Loudermilk insisted that there are important questions about how the Capitol was violated, questions that have nothing to do with Donald Trump, of course.

“My approach has always been:” How could this Capitol violate? “That should never have happened with the intelligence resources we have, the amount of application resources of the law we have in this city.

TO report of the Democrats in the National Security Committee and Government Affairs of the Senate in 2023 found That the FBI and the National Security Department overlooked a series of tips on the imminent violence on January 6, particularly those that come from extreme right extremists such as proud children.

While some intelligence agencies were aware of the calls to violence that proliferate in the social networks of these groups, as well as thousands of people, the intelligence community did not see threats as “credible.” The 2023 report showed that most of the agencies “could not evaluate full and precisely the severity of the threat identified by that intelligence and formally disseminate the orientation to their partners of application of the law.”
