Georgia Congressman Says January 6 Videotapes of Witness Interviews Are Now Missing

According to Georgia Congressman Barry Loudermilk, videotapes of witness interviews that the January 6 congressional committee — which was led by House Democrats — carried out have mysteriously disappeared.
Loudermilk is particularly concerned by this development as his committee is investigating security failures connected to the storming of the Capitol in addition to the potential implications of forthcoming criminal trials.
“All of the videotapes of all depositions are gone,” said on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show on the night of November 30.
Loudermilk believes under House rules the videotapes fell under the category of congressional evidence due to how some clips were aired at hearings, and all the tapes should have been kept intact by the now-dead January 6 committee and its chairman, Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson.
“We found out about this early in the investigation when I received a call from someone who was looking for some information off one of the videotapes, and we started searching, and we had none,” Loudermilk stated. “I wrote a letter to Bennie Thompson asking for them. And he confirmed that they did not preserve those types. He didn’t feel that they had to.
But according to House rules, you have to preserve any data and information and documents that are used in an official proceeding, which they did. They (J6 Democrats) actually aired portions of these tapes on their televised hearings, which means they had to keep those. But yet he chose not to, I believe they exist somewhere. We’ve just got to find where all these videos are.”
On top of that, Loudermilk revealed that the January 6 committee sent certain evidence such as transcripts to the Biden regime House and Homeland Security Department and the transcripts were recently sent back to Loudermilk’s subcommittee almost completely redacted so their contents can’t be read and analyzed.
House Republicans do not possess records of who the witnesses were, what they said, or why federal prosecutors are using them in their case against Trump, Loudermilk stated.
The documents “belong to the House. They should have never been sent. And second of all, do not send them back to me this heavily redacted. Those are our documents,” Loudermilk stated. “But my question is, why was it okay for a Democrat-run House of Representatives to have unredacted documents but not when there’s a Republican committee that’s looking into this. What is it that the committee and or the White House is trying to hide?”
If we’re being honest here, the political establishment has not released any footage from January 6. We have to remember that they are committed to the narrative that what took place that day was an insurrection and the greatest attack on US democracy since Pearl Harbor.
Ultimately, if we want to get down to the bottom of January 6 and understand the federal government’s nefarious role in making that incident become unstable, we must have a Republican leadership that’s willing to push for all audio and video evidence to be released from that day.
