Staff Reports
In a political landscape as frosty as Liz Cheney’s future, a new twist has emerged in the form of a House committee that aims to dig deeper into events surrounding January 6. With Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) at the helm, the newly minted subcommittee plans to continue the investigation into the actions and narratives of the previous January 6 Select Committee. This shift in focus signifies that Cheney may want to be cautious about any warm feelings she has gained from her latest presidential pardon by none other than Joe Biden.
The reorganization of the committee marks a notable change. The new J6 subcommittee will be under the aegis of the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), shifting gears from the former Committee on Oversight. This transition hints at a renewed vigor among House Republicans to scrutinize the January 6 narrative with more stringent oversight. What this means for Cheney, who has recently garnered the Biden seal of approval, remains a point of speculation.
What a complete joke and utter embarrassment.
Biden is foolishly giving an award to members of Congress who intentionally and repeatedly lied to the American people?!
The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence – created a fake, phony narrative all to try… https://t.co/1Liogwj0g6— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) January 3, 2025
House Republicans are determined to seek out the truth that the prior committee seemed eager to obscure, as Speaker Johnson has emphasized the need for transparency to the American populace. He expressed pride in the Republican efforts that have challenged what he believes are politically motivated falsehoods from the previous committee and vowed to persist in exposing any remaining deceptions. This newly invigorated investigation suggests that Cheney’s political cozying up to Biden isn’t enough to shield her from the probing eyes of accountability.
Previous reports have indicated that the old committee led by Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) found that certain events surrounding January 6 were preventable and hinted that Cheney could have engaged in unethical behavior during the inquiry. These findings are now likely to be revisited, especially given the unexpected pardons issued by Biden to various figures associated with January 6. Such actions have surely fired up the Republican base, stirring a desire for justice and accountability—something they are increasingly determined to pursue.
As the investigation gears up under Jordan’s leadership, it appears that the committee will proceed with the vigor of a pack of bloodhounds on the scent of wrongdoing. Loudermilk and other Republicans are expected to dig deep into the previous committee’s alleged misconduct and fabrication of evidence. The message is clear: those who played political games at the expense of the truth should be put on notice. Cheney, along with others who played their part in the January 6 narrative fabrication, will find themselves in the spotlight once more, and this time, there may not be a presidential pardon to protect them from the consequences.
