Republicans Accuse Democrats Of Hiding Key Jan. 6 Evidence

House Republicans are renewing their claims that Democrats who ran the Jan. 6 Committee have either hidden or deleted key evidence from their politicized hearings.

On Tuesday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, told Fox News that the Jan. 6 committee did not properly preserve all documents, video depositions, data, and other materials, according to the Los Angeles Times, to include any and all communications with President Joe Biden’s administration.

In addition, Loudermilk said the Dem-run committee did not preserve any evidence or proof of security lapses on that day.

“We’ve got lots of depositions, we’ve got lots of subpoenas, we’ve got video and other documents provided through subpoenas by individuals,” he told Fox News.

Loudermilk’s statement led former President Donald Trump to blast on his Truth Social platform: “The January 6th Unselect Committee got rid of EVERYTHING! Discarded, Deleted, Thrown Out. A Flagrant Violation of the law. They had so much to hide, and now that I have Subpoena Power, they didn’t want to get caught. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing. AN EGREGIOUS CRIMINAL ACT & BLATANT DISREGARD OF THE LAW! Can you imagine if I would have done such a thing???.”

It’s not as though the committee did not produce any materials; the allegation, however, is that not all materials were produced, likely materials that do not fit the Democrat narratives about what happened at the Capitol, Republicans have charged.

Former President Donald Trump has been charged by special counsel Jack Smith over Jan. 6, alleging that he was somehow responsible for the actions that took place that day. And the judge in the case appears to be politicized against him.

The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 trial has, in the past, suggested several times that he is guilty of crimes and has even suggested he should be behind bars, according to an investigative report.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, in the past, suggested several times that he is guilty of crimes and has even suggested he should be behind bars, according to an investigative report.

Julie Kelly, in an analysis for RealClearInvestigations, wrote that Chutkan, who already has a reputation for being tougher on Jan. 6 defendants than even prosecutors wanted, warned during her first hearing in Trump’s case she won’t tolerate politics in her courtroom.

“The fact that [Trump is] running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice,” Chutkan said Aug. 11.  “If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be.” 

But, as Kelly reported, “even as she warns Trump about his ‘inflammatory’ language, Chutkan has routinely issued politically charged rulings and made incendiary statements of her own while presiding over some 30 cases involving Trump supporters charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, melee at the U.S. Capitol.”

After reviewing “thousands of pages” of transcripts from hearings she has presided over, Kelly said they reveal that Chutkan “has repeatedly expressed strong and settled opinions about issues” that are at the center of Trump’s case.
