(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) After leading the J6 Inquisition’s gaslighting of America by pushing a redacted, flawed and partisan version of the U.S. Capitol protests, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., is facing possible censure by House lawmakers.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., introduced a resolution Wednesday to censure Thompson and remove him from the Homeland Security Committee for violating House rules.
“Investigations by the House Judiciary Committee have confirmed Rep. Thompson knowingly violated longstanding House rules by not turning over all the January 6th Select Committee’s records to the Clerk of the House,” Gaetz said in a statement.
“At a minimum, Rep. Thompson should be censured by the House for this violation and removed the Committee on Homeland Security,” Gaetz said.
In an apparent attempt to cover the committee’s twisted tracks, “Thompson sent a letter to the Biden White House and the Department of Homeland Security in which he implied critical congressional records related to the work of the January 6th Committee would be improperly stored at the White House,” Gaetz said. “It remains unclear which records were kept or destroyed by the committee.”
Thompson chaired the J6 persecution panel before it was dissolved in January, after the GOP took majority control of the House, which in March had its administration subcommittee on oversight launch an investigation into the dubious dealings of the Jan. 6 tribunal.
As part of its investigation, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, a Republican from Georgia who the J6 committee tried to smear with false allegations, raised concerns in a letter to the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and the National Archives that Congress didn’t have in its possession all of the J6 files.
“Lawmakers investigating the weaponization of the federal government are unable to determine which records of the January 6th Select Committee were kept or destroyed before Republicans took control of the House,” Gaetz said Wednesday, accusing Thompson of “a flagrant violation of House rules” and stashing files “outside the rightful possession of Congress.”
