I didn’t want to publicly state my concern for President Trump’s safety though threats have become more frequent and bold as election season approaches. I didn’t want to appear to be conspiratorial on this board. Now that Parabellum has, I’ll add that the Left is panicking and pulling out all of the stops. There’s no guiding morality with these people. They want what they want and only force can keep them from it. I pray sincerely that President Trump takes his security seriously and that he not trust blindly the agencies tasked with it. We have seen other pillars of our government be corrupted and weaponized; a thing I thought we were above. The defense of this man needs to be offensive in nature.

The partisan January 6 Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files just days before Republicans resumed control of the House, Chair of the House Administration Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) revealed Monday.

The missing files are significant because they might contain information reportedly used to prosecute former President Donald Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, colluded with the committee to obtain information to prosecute Trump, Politico reported on January 10.

The partisan committee told lawmakers it lost or does not have much of the information they discovered during their January 6 hearings. Yet, if the Politico report is true, the committee gave Willis the information to prosecute Trump before deleting it.

Loudermilk’s forensics team identified 117 files that went missing on January 1, 2023. The forensics analysis suggests the committee either deleted or encrypted the files. Loudermilk demanded the passwords for the encrypted files, which could contain interviews and depositions that run contrary to the partisan committee’s narrative.

“It’s obvious that [the J6 committee] went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation,” Loudermilk told Fox News. “It also appears that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intended to obstruct our Subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by House rules.”

“Because the American people have a right to know what happened,” he continued. “My main goal is to get the truth out there and give the American people the ability to make their own determination on this with facts — not with preconceived ideas or pre-determined narratives — but just the facts of what happened.”

“We do know there was plenty of intelligence that there was going to be an attack on the Capitol. So Secret Service knew of it. The FBI knew of it. Department of Defense had intelligence. Homeland Security had intelligence,” he added. “That intelligence was sent to the Capitol Police Intelligence Division—but it never got passed on any further. The chief did not know about it.”

Some Republicans say the reported collusion between the committee and Wills was intended to obscure Willis’s discovery in the Trump case, keeping it out of public view. The collusion could upend Willis’s prosecution, Breitbart News’s Joel Pollak has reported, “because the evidence was concealed to keep it away from discovery requirements that would allow defense lawyers to see what was shared, and the extent of the collaboration.”

I have always agreed with this sentiment, until I saw an explanation in an article. Virtually all candidates suspend their campaign when they drop out. It has to do with election and campaign finance laws. If you "end" your campaign, all kinds of campaign finance laws kick in with various rules about what you can or can't do with your remaining campaign funds. If you suspend your campaign, the existing finance laws remain in effect. Makes things a lot easier with less hassle about paying off your campaign staff when they get laid off, and continuing to raise funds to help pay off any campaign debt. So that's why they do it.

Yep beat me to it, its simply a legal maneuver regarding campaign laws and rules.

I know it’s a legal maneuver and if it were done solely to pay off debts then fine but I’m betting that most people running are rich and have no problem paying off the supposed debts but they get to keep whatever is left over.

I think it’s just another mechanism for them to fleece the public and line their pockets.

Well, the rules were written by politicians, so....

Criminal bastards, there ought to be a reckoning for all of them. Maybe someone has a backup.

Looks like it is obvious the strategy of the Haley campaign, they're not afraid to hide it.

Why are these formerly primary states moving to a caucus system? I guess I don't know too much about caucusing. Is it better for us? Worse? No difference? Easier to cheat in?

Not 100% sure where to even put this:
Crazy stuff for sure.

Hmm. New Hampshire. Nikki Haley. (N)ew (H)ampshire. (N)ikki (H)aley. NH. NH. Coincidence? Enquiring minds want to know!

I read this elsewhere this morning, and sorry to say, this is not surprising. AZ was completely betrayed by RINOs in 2018, 2020, and 2022. All because of Trump. And it very well may be happening in Georgia as well.

That Kari Lake and Jeff DeWitt recording pisses me off to no end. We inch closer by the day to a point where there is no return without violence. Good on Kari for recording and pushing back.

In Missouri's case it's because 2 MO Senators refused to support a bill for primaries. I won't name them here.

As a County vice-chair, it's much more difficult, time consuming, and expensive for us to run a caucus. But... it might be somewhat better because you have to be committed to 3-4 hours rather than a 5 minute vote. In other words, only those who really want to participate will attend which to me means informed and committed. However, there is quite a bit of jockeying for position ahead of time among those who wish to be on a Trump slate.

Republicans recover over 100 files deleted by Jan. 6 committee days before GOP took majority

https://justthenews.com/govern...ss&utm_campaign=home

Forensic investigators hired by a Republican-led committee recovered more than 100 encrypted files that the Democratic-led House Jan. 6 Select Committee deleted days before the GOP took over the House majority, according to a new report released Monday.

House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chair Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., sent a letter to former Select Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., demanding he provide answers and passwords for the data, which was deleted against House rules, according to Fox News Digital.

The Oversight Subcommittee, which is investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the former select committee, should have received four terabytes of archived data from the select committee after Republicans entered the majority in January 2023, but it obtained less than three terabytes of data.

The subcommittee hired a digital forensics team to determine what information was not handed over, and the team discovered 117 files that were encrypted and deleted on Jan. 1, 2023, two days before Republicans were sworn into the majority, according to the report.

Loudermilk said in his letter to Thompson that the Mississippi Democrat acknowledged over the summer that the select committee "did not archive all Committee records as required by House Rules" and had "sent specific transcribed interviews and depositions to the White House and Department of Homeland Security but did not archive them with the Clerk of the House."

One recovered file detailed an individual whose testimony was not archived, but "most of the recovered files are password-protected, preventing us from determining what they contain," Loudermilk also said.

The Georgia Republican is demanding Thompson provide a "list of passwords" for all select committee files. He also wrote letters to the White House and Homeland Security Department asking for "unedited and unredacted transcripts" of testimony from their officials before the former select committee.

"It’s obvious that Pelosi’s Select Committee went to great lengths to prevent Americans from seeing certain documents produced in their investigation," Loudermilk told the news network. "It also appears that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intended to obstruct our Subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by House rules."

This is not the first report of missing data from the Jan. 6 select committee. Loudermilk told the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show last year that all videotapes from select committee depositions are missing.

^^^ Excellent news! I was hoping they could recover them. Now get those passwords!

Isn't attempted bribery illegal? So, this guy's been arrested right?

Right?
