Senator Calls for Probe into Concealed Capitol Riot Videos

Mike Lee Calls for Investigation into January 6th Committee for Allegedly Hiding Videos

Mike Lee, a Republican senator from Utah, is demanding an investigation into the January 6th committee, accusing former members of intentionally concealing videos related to the Capitol riot. This call for investigation comes after Mike Johnson, a former Republican representative, started releasing over 40,000 hours of videos he had filmed during the riot.

Accusations of Deliberate Concealment

Mike Lee questions why Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger did not mention these tapes, suggesting they may not have looked for them or intentionally chose not to raise any doubts about their own narratives. He accuses them of being part of the group that helped hide the J6 tapes and compares them to those who advocate for the reauthorization of FISA 702 without reforms.

The Need for Investigation

Mike Lee emphasizes the importance of investigating the January 6th committee. He targets Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House at the time, suggesting that she and the committee intentionally lost or destroyed many videos and other records. He questions whether they deliberately concealed evidence considering the suppressed evidence that appears to have been hidden.

Funding and Fake Committee Allegations

Mike Lee suggests that taxpayer funds supported the fake J6 committee. He also accuses the committee of intentionally hiding other records besides the videos. Lee raises doubts about whether the committee intentionally hid evidence.

Release of Videos and Criticism

Mike Johnson, the former representative, promised to release 44,000 hours of security footage from the Capitol, stating that truth and transparency are crucial. He announces that some videos have already been released, with the remaining videos to be gradually released over time. Daryl Issa suggests that committee members could face criticism for record destruction and believes that committee records should not be destroyed.

Conclusion

The call for an investigation into the January 6th committee’s alleged concealment of videos has raised questions about the transparency and integrity of the committee’s work. As the release of more videos is anticipated, the public and lawmakers will closely examine the evidence to determine the extent of any deliberate concealment and its implications.
