GOP Senator Mike Lee is calling for an investigation into the Jan 6th [witch hunt] panel.
Lee posted on X, “Given the evidence they apparently suppressed, how much footage (and how many other records) do you think Nancy Pelosi and the J6 committee deliberately lost or destroyed?”
Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee is calling for an investigation into the now-defunct House January 6 committee for “deliberately” hiding some of the footage from the Capitol riots.
This is after Speaker Mike Johnson started releasing the J6 riot/rally footage.
Lee questioned the character of former Republican representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.
“Why didn’t Liz Cheney and Adam Kizinger ever refer to any of these tapes? Maybe they never looked for them. Maybe they never even questioned their own narrative. Maybe they were just too busy selectively leaking the text messages of Republicans they wanted to defeat,” Lee wrote in a post on X, including a video clip.
We need to investigate the J6 committee.

Taxpayer dollars funded the sham J6 committee.

Liz Cheney Tried to Defend Herself by Attacking Mike Lee
Cheney’s clip was a slickly produced film by a movie producer. The clips were cherry-picked. However, that doesn’t change the fact that some people were out of control and rioted violently. What is obvious is it wasn’t an insurrection, and most of the videos were hidden from the public.
Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times.
You made sure we saw that—and nothing else.
It’s the other stuff—what you deliberately hid from us—that we find so upsetting.
Nice try.
P.S. How many of these guys are feds? (As if you’d ever tell us). https://t.co/FryO0VdLdP

Hey @BasedMikeLee – heads up. A nutball conspiracy theorist appears to be posting from your account. https://t.co/N26lfzPZPU

Senator Lee used to be one of our favorites in DC, but he turned out to be no different than most of the others. Where have you been all these years, Mike? Surely you had access to the tapes well before Congressman Johnson released them.
