“… Lawmakers slipped a resolution into a rule on the House floor that would establish the controversial subcommittee, which is likely to be headed by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia). Republicans have complained that the previous probe was biased against President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly denied he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden….”
Please let Comer or a similar idiot run this.

“… total of eight members to be appointed by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) and not more than three to be appointed “in consultation” with the Democratic minority. The committee is “authorized and directed to conduct a full and complete investigation” of the events on Jan. 6 in which a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of Biden’s election.…

The subcommittee, Johnson said, is intended to “uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people. House Republicans remain intent on delivering the answers that House Democrats skipped over.”…”

Why....WHY do Republicans want to keep this alive? This is probably the most embarrassing event for Republicans in my life time and they just keep resuscitating it.

Because Trump demands that he be publicly "exonerated" and it's a test of fealty by Pubs that they go along with it.
They also want the opportunity to try to rewrite the history of event to excuse Trump's role and focus on what Dems and the "Deep State" did.

Another attempt to keep Epstein buried and dead. But he's still alive. Mike Johnson wants all the cable and network news organizations to focus 100% of their attention on the new J6 subcommittee to lend it some gravitas. But it won't happen. It's a big nothing burger and won't gain any traction but for one, very short 24 hour news cycle.
It’s hyper-important to the base AND supposed “Independents” and “moderates” either don’t give a shit OR support the J6 criminals and Trump.

Because it’s less problematic than Epstein. The child trafficker in chief literally had fighter jets Sonic boom downtown DC yesterday to try to disrupt the victims’ press conference.

But they mostly released the same stuff already released (only about 3% is new and apparently the large page total is padded by including multiple copies of the same previously released documents).Tens of thousands of Epstein-related records from DOJ released, Oversight Committee says
Over 33,000 pages of Epstein-related records were released, the committee said.
Tens of thousands of Epstein-related records from DOJ released, Oversight Committee says
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said it has released tens of thousands of records related to Epstein provided by the Department of Justice.abcnews.go.com
They are basically trying the sleight of hand that failed for the DOJ earlier this year with their much publicized release of information already in the public domain as an act of extreme transparency, when it was just performative transparency meant to get people to stop asking for actual transparency.
This is something the Trump administration has seriously bungled and then the idiot Comer jumped in to see if he could help make it worse with a Congressional “investigation” that has kept the whole thing alive and reinvigorated it when Congress came back in session after Trump thought he had put this particular wildfire out with a firehose of other news and distractions in August (which is usually a very quiet political news month).

They will continue to re-release materials and withhold the complete files. It's the only way to sell an appearance of transparency. The propaganda machine will claim that thousands of pages have been released and nothing incriminating found, confirming that Trump's involvement is a "Democrat hoax". The only thing that is transparent is that there is an ongoing cover-up.

“… Johnson appointed Rep. Barry Loudermilk (Georgia) to lead the committee. Reps. Morgan Griffith (Virginia), Clay Higgins (Louisiana), Troy E. Nehls (Texas) and Harriet Hageman (Wyoming) will also serve on the eight-member committee.
The five Republicans will join three Democrats who were named to the committee earlier this week: Reps. Eric Swalwell (California), Jared Moskowitz (Florida) and Jasmine Crockett (Texas). Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) will serve as an ex officio member.…”

Might be worth watching just to see the Dems humiliate their counterparts. Like the 96 Bulls playing a junior high team.

How House Republicans plan to rewrite history of Jan. 6
A new GOP-led panel could tear open raw wounds from the Capitol's most violent day.“… The panel’s chair, Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk, … said in an interview that GOP staff have been quietly toiling for months, even before Speaker Mike Johnson moved to formalize the probe this month.
Loudermilk said his team has been “talking to different entities,” reviewing documents and brainstorming potential investigative targets.
“We need to look at it from a factual standpoint,” he said. “It’s dangerous out there. There were a lot of civilians, as well as members of Congress and staff and even press that were here on Jan. 6. And I think we’re all interested to know, why did the Capitol get breached — regardless of who did it — how did it get breached?”
But to Democrats and even some Republicans, that rationale is a smokescreen for the panel’s true purpose: rewriting the history of Jan. 6, 2021, to minimize the culpability of the president and supporters who violently assaulted police officers and entered the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the final certification of Trump’s 2020 election loss….”

“… Reinvestigating the attack has been a longstanding priority for the Georgia Republican, who came under scrutiny by the previous Jan. 6 panel for hosting a tour of the complex the night before the Capitol riot. One person in his party was later found to have posted incendiary videos and marched toward, but not into, the building the next day.
Neither Loudermilk nor anyone in his tour group was accused of any wrongdoing, but the Jan. 6 committee interviewed one of the group membersand questioned why Loudermilk did not inform authorities about the presence of his group.
After Republicans retook the House majority in 2023, Loudermilk led a probe “on the failures and politicization of the January 6th Select Committee” as chair of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight. In that investigation, some entities were uncooperative with his requests, Loudermilk said.
This time, in helming a select subcommittee under the Judiciary Committee, he has full subpoena power to compel compliance with his demands.… the Trump administration privately applied pressure to get the effort set up, Loudermilk told reporters earlier this year….”
