There is a deepening division on the J6 Committee as staffers turn on Liz Cheney over the final report on the January 6th riot.
- Angry rhetoric is flying with staffers accusing the Committee of becoming a "Cheney 2024 campaign" while both the Cheney spokesperson and Committee spokesperson lashed out at the staff members as "disgruntled" and producing shoddy or biased work.
The draft report would focus almost entirely on Trump and the work of the committee’s “Gold Team,” excluding reams of other investigative work.
- The report will largely track the virtual exclusive focus of the hearings with open references to the 2024 election as an overriding concern.
The J6 Committee could have been much more than a one-sided partisan investigation
- House Democrats barred two Republican members originally selected by GOP leaders, who then boycotted the panel in response
- The focus on a single approved narrative gave the hearings the feel of an infomercial selling a product that most of us bought two years earlier
The J6 Committee virtually ignored the issue despite ample questions over decisions by Congress leading to the riot
- The Democrats in the final hearing hammered away at documents showing that the agency knew about violent threats in the days leading up to Jan. 6th, but the Democrats refused to pursue the lack of preparations on Capitol Hill as a focus of the hearing.
- Now, staffers are turning on Cheney who appears to have objected to parts of the final report and wants the report to focus on Trump.
The GOP is now expected to fully investigate what the Congress knew and what it did in the days leading up to the breach of the Capitol.
- Cheney and others did not believe that the Blue Team full findings were ready to be released.
- However, those findings could be reviewed by the new GOP majority as it seeks full disclosure on why the Capitol was so quickly overrun on January 6th.
