Rep. Loudermilk targets Liz Cheney, calls for more probes of Jan. 6
It comes as Donald Trump signals he might pardon some convicted Jan. 6 rioters within “the first nine minutes” after reclaiming the White House next month. The incoming president has also suggested that members of the Jan. 6 select committee should “go to jail.”
The report hits similar notes, steering the blame away from Trump and toward Democrats, the Capitol Police and the intelligence community. It recommends that former Rep. Liz Cheney, the select committee’s vice chair, should be investigated by the FBI over her handling of witnesses.
“It wasn’t to exonerate anybody. It wasn’t to say one side was right, one side was wrong. It was to get to the facts of what really happened. Because you can’t fix a problem until you get to the root of the problem,” Loudermilk said.
“The Select Committee, with its more than eighteen million dollar budget, resulted in little more than Hollywood-produced political theater and wasted taxpayer dollars to create an error-filled narrative,” the report states.
