House Republicans File Ethics Complaint Against Democrats

Another one now - and I have to wonder if this investigation actually goes anywhere. And whether it's due to republicans, or democrats squashing it.

I heard about this accusation quite a few times but have yet to see any proof.

House Republicans File Ethics Complaint Against Democrats Who Made Unsubstantiated Claims That GOP Led ‘Reconnaissance’ Tours Before Capitol Riot

A group of House Republicans filed an ethics complaint Tuesday against a number of Democrats who made unsubstantiated claims that GOP members led “reconnaissance” tours before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The complaint, first obtained by the Daily Caller, alleged three specific violations and called for an investigation by the House Ethics Committee into the behavior of over two dozen Democrats. The complaint specifically mentioned a letter sent by New Jersey Rep. Mikie Sherrill and 33 other Democrats to the Capitol Police asking them to investigate unsubstantiated claims that Members of Congress led “suspicious” groups through the Capitol Complex on a “reconnaissance” journey ahead of the riot.

The ethics complaint was sent by the top Republicans on the House Administration Committee, Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis, Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk and Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil.

The complaint also noted Sherrill’s Jan. 12 comments, when she told constituents in a Facebook video that she was worried some of her colleagues had provided “reconnaissance” tours to Capitol rioters.

Sherrill and 33 Democratic colleagues then wrote a letter Jan. 13 asking Capitol Police for more details about who was allowed into the Capitol days prior to Jan. 6.

“The visitors encountered by some of the Members of Congress on this letter appeared to be associated with the rally at the White House the following day,” the Democrats wrote in the letter, Politico reported. “Members of the group that attacked the Capitol seemed to have an unusually detailed knowledge of the layout of the Capitol Complex. The presence of these groups within the Capitol Complex was indeed suspicious.”

Capitol Police never responded to the claims, and Democrats have not been able to provide evidence to support them.

“Respondents claimed — without evidence — that Republican Members of Congress conducted these alleged tours in order to provide ‘unusually detailed knowledge of the layout of the Capitol Complex’ to ‘group[s] that left the White House and marched to the Capitol with the objective of preventing Congress from certifying our election’ on January 6, 2021,” the Republicans complaint reads.

“In an official appearance from her congressional office, which was broadcast on her official Facebook account, Rep. Sherrill doubled down on these unsubstantiated allegations, arguing for punishment for crimes that did not occur: ‘I also intend to see that . . . those Members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on January 5th for reconnaissance for the next day—those Members of Congress who incited the violent crowd, those Members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy—I’m going to see that they’re held accountable,'” the complaint continues.

The Dems and the Biden Administration will never stop going on and on about the Capitol riot. Granted, it was a riot and it caused a lot of expensive damage to the Capitol building, but it was one riot among a string of 200 riots in the last 15 months.

The Dems don't care about the hundreds of people that have been injured or killed in the other 199 riots, or the small business owners or homeowners in the other cities that lost everything they had. They just want to go on and on and on about this one riot because a) they actually were scared that they were the ones that might get hurt this time and b) the rioters in this case appeared to be conservatives and vilifying them is fun for Democrats.

The Biden Administration keeps using Facebook, GPS location of phones, and facial recognition to arrest a few more conservative each week, and still has other people still in jail since January. At the same time, the Biden Administration refuses to arrest anyone in the other 199 riots - or if some of them get arrested by local cops they show up just to bail the rioters out.

Venezuela elected a Socialist and went from rich to an abject-poverty country run as a police state within 15 years. America elected a Socialist - how long will the rest of it take for us?

Right as rain-- as they say my friend.
Trump was the fly in the ointment--they had planned after 8 destructive years of the scum obama- to have- a further 8 very destructive years of the the Hillary scum. And thus, in that 16 year time frame convert our Republic into the foundation of their insanely believed to be-- "socialist paradise"....
Trump came in - foiled their plan-messed up their timeline.
Now they stole the election- put in idiot scum Joe and run that dog through the dem party junta.
One thing about these globalists(one-world government scum)-they sure know how to manipulate the dumbed down masses =they spent decades creating, imho.-Tyr


edit--

Sad part is -it is working.
The government crack-down on those that opposes its treason increases each day, imho.
As also is their increased attacks on patriots and patriotism.
Which is now fairly well out in the open.
These people(these filthy dems) are hellbent on destroying this Representative Republic and its governing Constitution.

Add Argentina to that list. They were tied with the US for 2nd place in the World in ecobomic power in 1900. Enter the left making promises to the middle class and spending above their ability to pay. Now the place is just another impoverished 3rd World shithole.

Evidence of the eventual, ever fruitful harvest of socialism.
As it comes in, takes, steals, destroys everything until all that remains must totally bend to its will , to its -always-- enslaving powers!
Socialism is truly a form of parasitism heaped upon humanity , imho.
Yet it is the firm basis of the modern dem party.. --Tyr

From what I am seeing, it's the future of this country. Who's going to stop it?

Not people living 6 months in the past.

Yes, that is the question, isn't it..?
And that is why I see this nation as failing /falling within the next 20/25 years-- if even that long.
What the dems want- is a socialist entity that can not withstand (militarily) either China or Russia, imho.
The dem idiots are truly either by design or by default = enemies of this nation. A fact..--Tyr

edit- On another note- Those that refuse to look at the past (and learn from it)are doomed to repeat it- with tragic mistakes and ALL...

[Gunny]

Not people living 6 months in the past.

Nor those people who have learned nothing from it, as it affects the present.

I know I'm missing something in what you're saying. How is Cheney, responding to current Trump statements regarding illegitimate election/stolen election howling about the past, but not Trump?
