A scam on America and President Trump from the start. The con-artists of the J6 Committee are hiding all of the evidence that implicates them in their crimes against America…
In a surprising turn of events, the disappearance of videotapes containing witness interviews conducted by the Democratic-led House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has raised concerns, particularly for Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), the chair of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee. The committee is currently investigating security lapses related to the Capitol riot and the potential impact on upcoming criminal trials.
During a recent interview on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Mr. Loudermilk expressed his alarm, revealing that all videotapes of witness depositions had vanished. The revelation came to light early in the investigation when someone sought information from one of the tapes, prompting a search that yielded no results. Continued below the vid clip

Mr. Loudermilk recounted, “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.” Thompson, who led the now-defunct J6 committee, allegedly chose not to preserve the tapes despite their compliance with House rules defining congressional evidence.
Under House rules, any data, information, or documents used in an official proceeding must be preserved. Mr. Loudermilk argued that since portions of the tapes were shown during televised hearings, they should have been retained. He emphasized the importance of maintaining this evidence, citing instances where witnesses, like former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, have altered their testimony over time. Even transcripts, Mr. Loudermilk contended, might not capture the nuances conveyed through body language and voice inflection.
“I want to see what her body language is when she gave her original testimony,” Mr. Loudermilk said, highlighting the need for the videotapes. “This is why it’s so important that we have those videotapes, and I believe that’s probably why we don’t have them … I believe they exist somewhere. We’ve just got to find where all these videos are.”

Despite Mr. Loudermilk’s concerns, Mr. Thompson’s office did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
This revelation could have ramifications for ongoing criminal proceedings in federal court in Washington and state court in Georgia, where former President Donald Trump and his associates face charges related to the events of January 6, 2021. A recent court decision denied President Trump’s legal team’s request for specific material from the Jan. 6 committee, with the judge characterizing the requests as a “fishing expedition.”
District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan, in a seven-page ruling, criticized President Trump’s demands as too broad and unclear. She rebuked his attempts to obtain information available through other channels, citing a violation of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17. Quoting United States v. Cuthbertson, the judge remarked that President Trump’s requests resembled “a general fishing expedition” rather than a genuine effort to obtain identified evidence.
As the controversy surrounding the missing videotapes continues, questions persist about the potential impact on the credibility of witness testimonies and the broader implications for the ongoing legal proceedings. The search for these crucial pieces of evidence remains a priority, with Mr. Loudermilk leading the charge to uncover the whereabouts of the disappeared tapes.
