They are coming down. That I’m assured of as the January 6th Committee nears closer to its public hearings. In the lead-up, they’ve been relentlessly leaking supposed “bombshells,” hoping to prime the pump before their big climax falls flat on its taxpayer-funded face.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, who was thoroughly owned by a pro-life advocate in an unrelated hearing recently, has proclaimed that what they’ve found will “blow the roof off the House.” Prior to that, we heard tales of a mysterious “gap” in Donald Trump’s phone records. In reality, he was using the phones of staffers and the White House’s cell-to-landline network, of which there are also records.
The idea is clear. This committee has absolutely nothing, and it has been reduced to counting on the media to run misleading headlines covering stories that aren’t even worth reporting. On that note, Kyle Cheney of Politico reported for duty on Thursday evening, dropping a story that manages to push a false far-left conspiracy theory before eventually acknowledging there’s no there, there.
BREAKING: The Jan. 6 select committee says it has obtained evidence that Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) led a tour through the Capitol on Jan. 5, 2021 — contradicting earlier denials by GOP lawmakers that any tours occurred that day.

Sounds terrible right? Those dastardly Republicans lied about giving tours on January 5th, which naturally means that “insurrectionists” were working with GOP congressional members to “case” the Capitol Building.
Sure enough, that’s the narrative that is now blowing up on social media. Here’s one example big example, though, you can find many more in the replies to Cheney’s post.
To be clear – it’s long been obvious that such evidence exists. Security cameras are located all around the Capitol.
This morning, however we were able to see the first sign that January 6th’s committee had that evidence.
And it means DOJ will soon have it too, if it doesn’t already.

So what’s the real story? Well, the real story is that there’s no story at all. Loudermilk, in this instance, was taking a family along to one of his offices located in an adjoining building. To the extent that such counted as a “tour,” it was not a tour of the Capitol Building itself. Cheney also admitted in his tweet that there was no proof whatsoever that this instance has anything to do January 6.
Although there is no evidence that Loudermilk gave any tour, it raises questions as to why it wasn’t announced sooner given the high interest it has received over a year. https://t.co/HyGAs0PKNK

Cheney and all the other media members know what they’re doing. This report was meant to be red meat for not only the Jan 6th committee but for all left-leaning media. However, they omitted key context from their headlines. Loudermilk was accused of leading a constituent’s family to office. There have been many responses to that. But tell me more about how it’s Republicans that are a threat to freedom and democracy.
According to the report which originated it, there was no connection between January 6th and this. It appears that the “tour” did not take place at the Capitol. Instead, the family was led to an office in another building.

Final words: The hearings on January 6th will be laughable. Their only thing is wildly out of context supposition. What you’ll see are the same useless emotional witnesses they trotted out last year again with a mixture of Republican subpoenaed witnesses who will provide nothing of value. There was no conspiracy to attack the Capitol, Donald Trump did not incite an “insurrection,” and this committee is a blatantly political dumpster fire.
