This made me get that awful burning feeling in my shoulders and my face get red hot, not because there us more transparency in the House. It was of the person to whom they are releasing the transcripts!!
Richard Sauber, a member of the White House Counsel’s Office, said the administration would permit Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) — who has been leading a review of the Capitol attack and the previous committee’s work in investigating it — the chance to examine, but not keep, the unredacted transcripts.
In case you forgot this Bizarro world shit...
Loudermilk is the GOP House’s point-man reviewing the Jan. 6 committee work
The Jan. 6 Committee is requesting that Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk provide information to the panel, after it discovered evidence that Loudermilk may have info regarding a tour through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021. He admits he gave a tour, yet he and other House member said they previewed the tapes and NO tours were seen! The Republicans say the tour was a constituent family that never entered the Capitol and call on U.S. Capitol Police to release the tapes.

The tour...
Check out the flag. It has been sharpened. And just who is the certain person? For people just coming to rallies they surely had a lot of weapons ready.
"Tours" seemed more like reconnaissance to these keen eyes… Dem. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon says that she saw groups of tours of people in MAGA days before the attack. Dem. Rep. Mikie Sherrill,said members of Congress led tours on Jan 5.
31 members of Congress sent a letter to the acting House Sergeant of Arms, acting Senate Sergeant of Arms, and acting chief of the US Capitol Police asking them to investigate the matter further.
“I had seen what appeared to be tour groups of folks dressed in MAGA attire, in the halls, in the tunnels” Scanlon told CNN. “I don't know exactly what day it was. It was just surprising to see that happen because since Covid the building's been shut down. There aren't supposed to be any tours. So I kind of assumed it must be a new member who didn't know the rules or something. But, I mean, I can verify that it happened. There were people who were roaming around in the halls, apparently under the guidance of congressional staff.”
Rep. Abigail Spanberger
"In the lead up to January 6th, what I witnessed was members of the public, people who had no business being in the Capitol during the shutdowns that we have because of the pandemic, milling about in the office buildings."
Rep. Mary Miller, a newly-elected state GOP lawmaker from Illinois, (R-IL) gained infamy two days after she was sworn in -- and one day before the deadly riot -- saying Adolf Hitler "was right on one thing." Her husband parked outside the capitol in a restricted Zone the day of the insurrection. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-mary-miller-congresswoman-hitler-one-thing-right-speech-20210106-wdryhnfyfbetfbyi6ef7lpmlgm-story.html
“Army friend gave me decal. Thought it was a cool decal [later he said it was his son's]," said Chris Miller, the congresswoman's husband and himself a member of the Illinois House. But this isn't the first time he has helped promote the Three Percenters. In videos posted online, including one video posted to his own Facebook page, he stood in front of a Three Percenters banner -- and a QAnon sign -- last year as he railed against Democrats.' https://www.vice.com/en/article/epdwzz/hitler-quoting-congresswomans-husband-owns-truck-with-the-three-percenter-sticker
Moments before the imsurrection at the US Capitol, Illinois state Representative Chris Miller, husband to Congresswoman Mary Miller, railed against “dangerous Democrat terrorists,” and said “we’re in a great cultural war to see which worldview will survive.”
