Capitol Police Shoot Down Most Recent Allegation From The Jan. 6 Panel Kangaroo Court

Capitol police chief says there is ‘no evidence,’ as Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney alleged, that a GOP lawmaker ran a reconnaissance mission for Jan. 6 protesters

“…the Jan. 6 panel — led in part by the Russian collusion advocate Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. — has been called on the carpet for falsely suggesting a GOP lawmaker ran a reconnaissance mission inside the Capitol for Jan. 6 protesters the day before the riot.

Ironically, the man who blew that whistle is the new Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, who got his job on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s watch but handed Republicans vindication on an allegation they long claimed was a smear.

Manger wrote in a letter Monday to Congress, which Just the News obtained, that an exhaustive review of security footage found no evidence that Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia did anything other than give constituents a tour of some congressional office buildings.

In fact, the chief said, the congressman didn’t even enter the U.S. Capitol with the group.

“There is no evidence that Representative Loudermilk entered the U.S. Capitol with this group on January 5, 2021,” Manger wrote in a letter to Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., the ranking Republican on the House Administration Committee. “We train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance or reconnaissance, and we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.””

Capitol Police Shoot Down Most Recent Allegation From The Jan. 6 Panel About Recon Mission

By: Steadfast Loyalty, June 14, 2022:

This past Monday, the head of the United States Capitol Police officially put down the claims made by the Democrat-run January 6 Committee that one GOP congressman led the protesters through a reconnaissance mission the day before the riots took place.

The panel had issued the claim that Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) has walked a group of protesters through the Capitol the day before a group of supporters of then-president Donald Trump carried out their riot and stormed the building. However, J. Thomas Manger, the Capitol Police Chief, stated in a letter to a GOP legislator that was acquired by Just the News that there was absolutely zero evidence in support of that claim.

“There is no evidence that Representative Loudermilk entered the U.S. Capitol with this group on January 5, 2021,” Manger stated in the letter addressed to the ranking Republican figure currently sitting on the House Administration Committee, Representative Rodney Davis (R-IL). “We train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance or reconnaissance, and we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.”

ust this past month, Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who are currently the leaders of the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, asked for Loudermilk to step forward and testify as to why he gave the tour to constituents, making the assertation that he was leading the alleged scouting mission.

“Based on our review of evidence in the Select Committee’s possession, we believe you have information regarding a tour you led through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021,” Thompson and Cheney stated. “The foregoing information raises questions to which the Select Committee must seek answers. Public reporting and witness accounts indicate some individuals and groups engaged in efforts to gather information about the layout of the U.S. Capitol, as well as the House and Senate office buildings, in advance of January 6, 2021.”

One former federal prosecutor, Representative Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), has issued a claim previously that GOP lawmakers gave tours just a single day before the events sparked off and apparently engaged in “suspicious behavior,” giving future rioters “an unusually detailed knowledge of the layout of the Capitol Complex.”
