Exposing Rep. Liz Cheney lie about Rep. Jim Banks
After Bret Baier said that she was co-chair of the J6 Committee, Ms. Cheney corrected him, saying that she's vice-chair of the Committee. She then told Baier that Rep. Jim Banks had obstructed their investigation by "sending letters to federal agencies claiming that he is the ranking member of the committee, which he's not."
That's easily discredited by Rep. Banks' letter. In Rep. Banks' letter, Rep. Banks said "The House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy appointed me to be the Ranking Member of the Select Committee. Yet, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to allow me to fulfill my duties as Ranking Member."
Apparently, Ms. Cheney is exceptionally dishonest or incredibly stupid or both. Rep. Banks states that he was picked by House Minority Leader McCarthy to be the Ranking Member but that Speaker Pelosi prevented that from happening. I don't know how he could've been more honest about what happened. This tweet contains the Banks letter:
It's obvious that Banks said that he'd been picked by Leader McCarthy to be the Ranking Member. It's obvious, too, that Speaker Pelosi rejected McCarthy's pick. The bigger point is that Pelosi's Democrats aren't interested in obeying House rules. In his letter, Rep. Banks wrote that "the minority party in Congress retains rights to the same information provided to the majority party." Thus far, Democrats aren't interested in sharing this information with House Republicans. This interview with Bret Baier will cause Ms. Cheney a bunch of trouble: This committee's final report won't be taken seriously outside the DC press corps and Democrats. (Pardon the repetition.) This is a report by partisan hacks for partisan hatchetmen.How is this a story? How can you say he “claimed” to be ranking member when—if you read the letter—it clearly states that Banks was refused the opportunity to fulfill his role… https://t.co/fLElI5bKnO

It's time for Democrats to turn over the full set of documents they have. Those documents belong to We The People. If Democrats don't turn the documents over forthwith, that's proof that this is a partisan investigation.
