    The House Judiciary Committee uncovered a letter Fani Willis wrote to Bennie Thompson, the Chairman of the Jan 6 Committee, requesting access to transcribed interviews and video recordings of depositions. Interestingly, when Democrats lost control of the House, they destroyed a lot of this evidence so Republicans wouldn't have access to it, in violation of House ethics rules. Thompson said last week that he didn't realize he was required to keep it, which doesn't seem plausible.

    In any event, Fani Willis requested an in-person meeting and provided her personal cell phone number for future correspondence. This is a tactic of corrupt prosecutors and it is something we have seen occurring at the DOJ as of late. This allows them to use their personal cell phones for business purposes, but then the DC judges won't require the communications to be disclosed in discovery or FOIA requests. They don't even deny they were doing it, they just refuse to turn over the data and/or have likely delete it so in the unlikely event a liberal DC judge requires they do a search they can say they have no results for the search criteria. We know this data exists because they refer to personal text messages about cases in their official emails with each other when discussing information that they clearly did not want to be disclosed as part of a FOIA request. They're blatantly public about their corruption.

    House Republicans are using this as another example of a legitimate federal interest in Fani Willis complying with a subpoena to be interviewed about her political prosecution of federal officials who she admits didn't commit an overt crime. She claims as a group, their individual actions of questioning the election constituted a crime, but for the most part, their individual acts were legal. So for example, she claims an act of scheduling a meeting between attorneys to discuss the legal possibilities of how to challenge the election is a crime because a series of other legal activities makes that otherwise legal activity a crime.

    We have serious concerns about this behavior and we are seeking the truth," said Congressman Loudermilk.

    If there is one thing House Repubs have no interest in it's the truth about the events of, and leading up to, 1/6. Count this as another dishonest effort to flip the narrative about the failed coup plot in preparation of Repub's all out support for orange jesus in the upcoming campaign.

    "The partisan January 6 Select Committee had a troubling track record of procedural abuses and due process violations." It only solicited evidence from a select set of relevant individuals

    Horseshyte. Four Repubs who refused to comply with subpoenas to testify before the 1/6 committee had a troubling record of......well.........not complying with subpoenas. What were they hiding?

    So what you're saying is you can't defend Willis and you certainly won't condemn her, so now you're trying to flip the narrative and put Republicans on defense.

    Does any one think there was no colluding and no coordination going on when out of the blue 4 different people jumped on Trump together after 2 1/2 years... The records from Smith, Big Fanni, Braggs and the WH should be cross examined..

    What's not unheard of is prosecutors misbehaving badly, selling their souls to the devil for political purposes.

    We're seeing that in spades in the illegitimate prosecutions and convictions of the J6 defendants. The DOJ emulates Stalinesque Star Chambers.

    I really hope Fanni got what she needed from the J6 committee records before the Republicans took over and suppressed it all.

    What are Republicans trying to hide ? They should be investigated for destroying public records.

    It was suppressed by the committee before they left.... they did not preserve all their records as required by law... Trump is being deprived of his right to any and all materials used against him.. all means all, not what the committee picks and chooses...

    Gee, I know this is a place for opinions but that one was particularly counter factual.

    Exactly. Fani was seeking to meet in person and exchange private communications about potential evidence to prosecute Trump. But, she sought to do it in a way that shielded her from having to disclose any exculpatory evidence that might be uncovered to the defense. The only question now is whether or not the Committee obliged her and, if so, what they gave her. She was seeking to cherry-pick data from House Democrats so she could prosecute Trump with it, but not fulfill her legal requirements to the defense. There's no defense for this corrupt behavior, so they're just trying to obfuscate the obvious. This is the same exact behavior we have seen with Jack Smith and his team.

    So you're saying the defense is unaware of some exculpatory evidence? Like what?

    Think about it - the left is defending the unethical behavior of Willis and don't seem to care about Democrats destroying evidence, yet in another TWO threads they're going wild about J6 faces being blurred out and complaining about transparency regarding people who haven't been shown to have done anything wrong.

    I see no problem with her seeking evidence from the Jan 6th committee... at all. I guess I have to assume you're serious, but I don't see it at all.

    If she uses that evidence in her prosecution, of course that needs to be disclosed to the defense. Congress destroying records has little to do with it and is irrelevant to the case. If she used it, she has her own records. If she doesn't have her own records, she doesn't have evidence from it.

    Well Lee, as you know I'm a big fan of common sense, and I'm old enough to remember events from many years back.

    If you think corrupt prosecutors are rare, you should get into your wayback machine and look up a series done by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette back in December 1998. Wait, I just found it for you: Win at all costs (usa-the-republic.com)

    Power corrupts, Lee. You may not understand it, but it's true.

    No modern case demonstrates that any better than the J6 defendants in DC. Prosecutors and judges today (and then) are corrupt. That's not an opinion, that is a documented fact.

    I admit that my position is cynical as hell, but that doesn't mean it's the wrong position.

    There is no basis for claiming that evidence was destroyed. And there is no reason to believe that there is anything wrong about Willis requesting transcripts. The "defenses" of everyone's favorite orange fascist get more vapid by the day.

    Other than the chairman of the Committee saying they deleted evidence and the data is no longer available. If you ignore the fact that evidence is not there anymore and the chairman said he didn't think he needed to save it, sure, there's no basis for claiming that evidence was destroyed.

    Would you care to quote that ? This is all I can find:

    "Loudermilk himself alleged only that the information his subcommittee has is incomplete, not that it was all destroyed."

    https://www.latimes.com/politics/st...use-select-committee-of-withholding-materials

    And, of course, the Orange Stain lying about the whole episode because chaos and delay are his friends, truth be damned.

    Thompson already declared they did not preserve all the records as required by law.... ALL the record, not what the committee deems it wants to... even their webpage only carries 300'ish transcripts of 1000 testimonies... "we the people" own the records, not the committee... Big Fanni wants access to something that Trump can't get to defend himself...

    Letter Loudermilk to Thompson about Big Fanni communications... Thompson did not heed McCarthy's letter to preserve ALL records

    Incoming Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy ordered the House Select Committee investigating January 6th to "preserve its records, evidence and transcripts," as required by federal law. The now-disbanded committee, chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson ignored that order and has destroyed some of those records.

    Then it should be easy for you to find a quote of Thompson saying this:
    "Thompson already declared they did not preserve all the records as required by law."
    Please quote him. If not, you are making up more rightie fantasies.

    Both the letters you posted refer to "news reports" as opposed to actual facts from .....say..... the National Archives.
    If you can't post actual facts, then this is more rightie propaganda and speculation.

    Essential to the pursuit of justice (as exemplified by over 1,000 of the January 6 Trump goons being identified, apprehended, indicted and prosecuted) is disposing of the lies concerning antifa, tourists, fbi agents impersonating Trump goons, etc.

    Even screwballs like Marjorie Taylor Greene are admitting that is was, obviously, Trump goons who perpetrated the savage attack upon outnumbered police as the Loser pleasured himself by watching for hours, ignoring the desperate pleas of family, advisors, Republican officials, media enablers, and others.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Denounced January 6th Rioters, "an Ugly Stain on What MAGA Means"
