House Republicans are creating a committee to 'reinvestigate' the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

that included footage of the attacks against police. The committee held hearings throughout 2022, some in primetime, in which top Republican figures testified about efforts by former President Trump to pressure them to overturn election results and talked about his role in inspiring and fomenting political violent threats and the Capitol riot.

Loudermilk said his panel is also reviewing some of the 40,000 hours of police videos, the same tranche of footage that Speaker Kevin McCarthy recentlyLoudermilk said his panel will also likely seek interviews with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and the former House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving about security decisions made ahead of the Jan. 6 attack.

Torres was among the group of House members trapped on the upper balcony of the House chamber on Jan. 6. She recalled that as they were escaping, the riotous mob was"just 10 seconds behind" them. The Jan. 6 select committee had sought an interview with Loudermilk last year to talk about a tour group his office had arranged on Capitol grounds on Jan. 5, 2021. Loudermilk said the group wasn't near the Capitol during the Jan. 6 breach and criticized the Select Committee for publicly announcing its request for an interview with him, before notifying him of it.

The entire repub party is corrupt.

There was no attack on capital Jan 6.. see the video..

Going to sugar coat it…and somehow show everyone it was a peaceful protest. What a fricking joke!

Put it on TV

Oh the media should be happy.

Any chance the GOP could multitask. Maybe work a plan so all of the U S still has water in 50 years? Figure out why the pentagon can't pass an audit? Address inflation etc.?

Still no bail for Jan 6

A waste of time and our $ since the first committee was so thorough

Wasting tax dollars when you roll the digital footage.

All the Republicans will have to confess?

As they should.

The Republican Party has been completely overtaken by the truly stupid.

Can domestic terrorists really investigate the terrorist act they participated in?

Right on. Time for the Dems to be held accountable for the lying

That would be extremely wasteful!

Can they PLEASE make Tucker Carlson in charge of the video, but let TikTokers provide the music?

Waste of tax money.

Really. They have nothing better they can spend their time on…

Really. They have nothing better they can spend their time on…

Al the important things will pass the HouseGOP by! It's time to hold the criminally corrupt GOP Sedition Caucus accountable for their crimes!

going to PAY their 'friends' some 'huge chunks PUBLIC TAX $$$' ?

And they disguise themselves as conservatives. Please waste more tax payer dollars to try and prove there was a peaceful protest inside the “closed to public” capitol building. Don’t tell us that you care about fiscal responsibility.

Donald broke the party. They went from law and order to defund the police and treason. They are reaping what they sowed

If Republicans were serious and genuinely interested in the facts & truth re all aspects of the Jan 6 insurrection, they'd have submitted names of uninvolved, serious people—e.g. NOT Jordan—& participated in good faith in the January6thCmte's fact-finding 2021-'22 investigation.

And then another committee to reinvestigate the reinvestigation.

That's hilarious! Investigating their own ? Not likely

What a waste of time and taxpayers money. We know what happened Jan 6th n Republicans lied every time they had a chance because many were involved!!!!

Clowns 🤡

Might as well have Boebert running this show🙄🙄🙄

If you start with the assumption there were two 'sides' of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, you aren't investigating, you are propagandizing.

So they can give them selves a path to say let’s do it again.

Too late. It's been done. They should've been so concerned the moment it happened

So weak. First GOP members fail to testify and now they want another investigation. Big Fail Biggly.

All their evidence will have Fox News logos

I hope it is done the same way, nationwide tv, no evidence or testimony from opposition allowed, evidence suppressed.

C'mon. Take a watch. Aren't you a little curious? Just tell yourself it's all a lie and selective reporting. But watch.

Waste of time, oh and I wonder what they'll say. As usual, nothing to help inflation, gas, anything.

Oh yeah, let's have a trial run by the conspirators of the crime. That will be great. Not.

Whitewashing your party’s treason doesn’t help your constituents. Get to work and let the DOJ do their job, chips fall where they may. Let’s get tough on crime.

I hope they investigate whether the BidenCrimeFamily declared this money on their tax returns!!! 🤨

Or we just call January 6th the terrorist attack on the capitol that it was and keep it pushing

Here’s the pipe bomber. She wears special shoes to keep from biting her nails

MAGAclowns Radicalized GOPQ investigations are clownish circus of lies, only to present domestic terrorists as peaceful patriots, trying to free insurrectionists who have pleaded guilty, torturing, killing Capitol police officers

Time to try and rug sweep

this is like holding an election until you get the results you want

Please do, but make sure it is done publicly

Good he won't be pretty for those losers when that identify all the MAGA Republicans I insurrectionist

So more nonsense? And still not offering any legislation to help the country

Given that the original “committee” suppressed footage from the public and then admitted they didn’t even watch it, how is this unwarranted? 🤔

🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

This is what happens when a group of Democrats get together and pretend to conduct an impartial investigation. Now we will see the other side of the story.

Beating a dead horse with taxpayer money. It was a riot it was planned and Trump instigated it.

I hope that means they will bring in the members that refused to honor their subpoenas

Waste of money.

What a glorious, colossal and magnificent waste of time.

It will actually be the original investigation. We’ve already seen indisputable proof the jan6 committee was a distraction and witch hunt, not similar to an investigation.

Omg why?

What a waste of taxpayer money!

MAGA/GOP why do you want to waste time with all these stupid investigations that are clearly meant to rewrite history when everyone including yourselves are feeling pain cause of inflation? At

That’s gonna boost the economy and lower healthcare costs. GOP is a waste of time.

And recreate an election to see what really happened ?

Of course they are. 🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳 (NOT CRICKETS)

Waste of money when they are calling for cuts

So they have no programs to address the needs of their constituents. They just want the attention of people who think they’re doing something constructive. Sad.

Hopefully during the 2024 elections. It would be great to rehear testimony.

What a waste of time.

Good. The American people deserve the truth.

OMG... more 'both sides' b.s.

Because they can't really do anything meaningful I suppose.

Liberals want/force 'inclusion'... GOP will now 'include' everything the partisan J6 left out.... Unedited footage Additional witnesses Denial of protection by the Liberal Mayor and then House Spkr

Can’t wait for the Democratic Party sweeping win. This is a gift to us. Thank you HouseGOP

The committee to rewrite history is now in session.

How is this happening? Everyone associated with this should be found guilty of tampering.

Maybe we'll finally get to see Nancy pelosi's emails which the Democrats have blocked the public from seeing. After all she was the one responsible for security that day. Why are Democrats blocking those emails?

Time for DOJ to pick the insurrectionists in the Congress and Senate.

Omg!!

A very useful way to waste tax dollars.

I love it when the unscrupulous investigate events caused by their own party.

Check this out

This is like the arsonist investigating the fire.

Foxes investigating the hen house.

lol useless republicans, don’t they have any better things to do like fighting inflation for instance? we already know what happened on Jan6.

Oh my - the Republican Caucus remains intent on proving the difference between a caucus and a cactus. With a cactus, all the pricks are on the outside...

So this is the best and brightest…DEPLORABLE 👎🏻

excellent

More wasted tax dollars and proof they either don't know how or don't want to govern. Probably both.

Why waste taxpayer money. What happened on Jan 6 was one of the most embarrassing moments in U.S. history. To rehash it to try to change a narrative for a guy who never will be elected president again is even more embarrassing. Move on

Good, finally we will be able to see the communications of the people in charge of capital security…

As if we cannot believe our eyes. Just dragging this out to the 2024 elections to try to make political hay.

This is some serious bullshittery.

Clowns

So, they can throw out an alternate reality version! The party let the inmates take over the asylum to the point it's become a disgrace. Lies upon lies, upon lies.

Let me guess- MTG and Gaetz are leading the charge. Lmao. What a clown show

They really want to spin the story don't they?

I guess the GOP doesn't want to move on. Let them milk it for 2023 & 2024.

Pathetic. It’s a stain on their legacy and no amount of re-editing will change that.

Republicans are clearly demonstrating they are not capable of initiating new ideas & will do everything possible to protect their gullible adversarial positioning without understanding the devastating impact on democracy

Reinvestigate = whitewash.

Led by Barry “Terrorist Tourguide” Loudermilk. “Lawmaker who gave tours of Capitol will lead inquiry of January 6 panel”

We all know this is theater in the part of Republicans. What we want to know is what they're actually *doing* while trying to distract us with their nonsense.

🥴🐘🤡s😵‍💫

Why Republicans insist on reminding the world that Trump and his goons are responsible for January 6th is beyond me. This is a losing issue for them.

Republicans can’t govern. Americans are less safe when they hold office.

I don't want my tax dollars paying for this nonsense.

This is ALL an attempt to rewrite history so trump feels vindicated, it is using tax money for political stunts..it is was they are doing in TX, and Fl, and Al...this must stop. People must speak up!

Tell Americans the truth. Trump told crowd to go to Capitol peacefully and patriotically.

I can save them some time. Put the former speaker under oath and get her comms. She planned the whole thing.

AmericaDialogue When are they going to investigate how to stop wasting our time and actually do something productive? At least while the former committee was investigating there were others who were trying to pass infrastructure and child care bills. Right now it's investigate-palooza.

Election deniers and the insurrection tourguides are in investigating their own crimes on taxpayer's dime 💩🤡

I hope he explains his 'tour group' of insurrectionists!

Barry Loudermilk gave Capitol tours the day before the insurrection when the Capitol was CLOSED. He is an election denier. And this is one of several ongoing attempts to rewrite history. It will backfire. But keep track of how desperately they're trying.

I thought they wanted to fix inflation? Gas? Food? Border? WTAF?
