While Liz Cheney’s epic defeat in Wyoming has stolen the headlines, the congresswoman isn’t quite done yet, and neither is the January 6th committee she helps lead. New report from The Daily Caller exposes what seems to be an enormous conflict of interests involving the contractor that this committee hired through your tax dollars.
NEW: January 6 Committee hires an investigator consultant who is married to a high-ranking gov’t official. Two watchdogs inform the @DailyCaller News Foundation may have a major “conflict of interest”https://t.co/WNs172Cycg

The Jan. 6 Committee hired an investigative consultant who could have a major “conflict of interest,” watchdogs told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Brian Young is a senior financial investigator at the consultancy Polar Solutions Inc and a contractor for the Jan. 6 Committee, according to his LinkedIn profile and an internal congressional document obtained by the DCNF. However, he also has a wife, House Deputy Sergeant of Arms (SAA), Kim E. Campbell. This is the second-highest ranking SAA official and is under investigation by the DCNF for security breaches in relation to the Capitol riot.
The January 6th Committee was created to review the events of that day and recommend improvements to avoid another breach of Capitol Building. I say ostensibly because we all know that’s not what they are really doing, as the focus has been almost exclusively on unsubstantiated innuendo and out-of-context accusations against Donald Trump.
However, the House Sergeant-at Arms husband was hired to examine the security breaches that took place. Wouldn’t the entire point be to get an unbiased view of how the Sergeant-at-Arms, the Capitol Police, and other law enforcement agencies not only responded, but prepared for what happened? It wasn’t exactly a mystery that there could be unrest, as evidenced by the fact that there was talk of mobilizing the National Guard prior.
DC’s incessant sexuality is what really grabs me. This is a nearly one-million strong city, surrounded by millions upon millions of people from a nation of more than 300 million. And the January 6th committee couldn’t find anyone else to hire as an investigator except the husband of someone who is supposed to be under investigation? It’s just gross to witness how politicians and officials operate in Washington. The politicians and officials do things in ways no ordinary person could ever understand.
The other thing to note is what this says about Liz Cheney’s supposed integrity. Namely, that she doesn’t have any despite all her virtue signaling. Cheney is as much a part of the swamp as anyone else in and around the beltway, and she clearly doesn’t care at all about operating the January 6th committee in a credible way. It’s just a partisan tool for her. It’s a way for her to get rid of the evil orange man, while also letting everybody else off the hook. This includes those in charge of security at Capitol Building.
