Investigators: Pelosi Responsible For Jan. 6 Security Breakdown At Capitol

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi shoulders much of the blame for the security breakdown at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a preliminary report from Republican investigators Reps.

The Republicans' full report is not slated to be released for a few weeks but Banks and Davis said the hyperpartisan Jan. 6 Committee's attempt to present a "Slanted viewpoint as if it were impartial fact" prompted them to release their findings that "Will help Americans understand the extent of the Committee's misrepresentations and omissions."

Despite the J6 Committee's attempts to blame the Capitol riot on former President Donald Trump and election integrity supporters, the GOP members found that Pelosi, who is responsible for Capitol security according to House rules and has led the Democrat majority for years, repeatedly failed to implement necessary improvements to the Capitol's security system.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy picked Banks and Rep. Jim Jordan to represent Republicans on the committee last year but they were promptly booted off by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who implied the GOP would hamper a "Comprehensive investigation" into the Capitol riot.

Now Banks, Jordan, Davis, and the two other Republicans who were poised to join the Democrats' show trial committee before McCarthy pulled them out, are leading their own investigation into the Capitol security breakdown that reviews information hardly touched by Pelosi's picks who are running the show trial.

Banks has repeatedly criticized Pelosi's handpicked committee as a "Political witch hunt" focused on slandering conservatives, especially those who express concerns about election integrity, instead of getting to the bottom of what really happened on Jan. 6.

"Republicans were denied the right to meaningfully participate in the Democrats' show trial, but as you know, the five of us are leading our own independent investigation into the total breakdown of security at the Capitol. Our mission is to answer simple questions about what happened that day that Democrats have ignored," Banks and Davis said.
