Were January 6 Hearings a ‘Hollywood’ Production?
One congressman thinks so. Just the News reported that Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), the lawmaker leading the investigation into the security failures on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol, has identified “people of interest” who may have suppressed intelligence about the impending violence.

From Just the News:

Loudermilk said his House Administration investigative subcommittee has made substantial progress identifying specific individuals who may have either mishandled or suppressed the intelligence, and have begun asking questions.

“Who was involved in this? Was it one person that just squelched the intelligence? Was it just a massive failure? Was it because of incompetence, or was it somebody who purposely suppressed that intelligence?,” he asked. “There's actually some people of interest that we're talking to, and we're looking into to see where that failure was.”

Loudermilk said getting those answers are key to better protecting the Capitol and honoring the officers who were left unaware of the danger they were to face on Jan. 6.

“The frontline officers, man, they fought valiantly that day," he said. "But they were ill equipped. They were not prepared, and none of them knew what was coming. But there were certain people in the Capitol Police that did."

Rep. Loudermilk also discovered evidence that public hearings by the House January 6 investigative committee were scripted for emotional appeal, contrasting the approach of the current Republican-led committee focused on eliciting facts. He said, “We found out in the documents that I acquired from the Jan. 6 committee is the written script of every member of the committee. Just like you would have on a teleprompter or if you memorize a script for a movie. And so every single aspect of their hearings was scripted for a Hollywood type of emotional appeal to the American people."
