Thompson supposedly told Loudermilk that the committee would give him “four terabytes of archived footage.” The committee only got two terabytes.
A digital forensics team discovered “that 117 files were both deleted and encrypted.” It happened on January 1, 2023, right before Thompson sent the data to the new committee. The forensics team recovered the 117 files.
So the problem is that the 117 delete files are encrypted and require a password. The new committee is requesting the list of passwords to open the files, and the chances of Pelosi and gang turning them over is right around the same chance that you will be hit with lightning. If they deleted those files, then there was good reason that they did not want anyone seeing those. To suggest that they will hand over the passwords (even under court order) is a big jump. But the GOP has to ask.
Now keep in mind that the idea that people will know that they deleted 117 files and don't want anyone to see them will cause some stirring in certain crowds and make certain people see this as proof that the committee was sneaky and not on the up and up. But whatever is actually in those files is clearly more damaging than simply being seen as hiding something.
Never forget
Hillary Clinton joked to reporters Tuesday in Las Vegas about whether she "wiped" her email server clean before giving it to the FBI.
“What? Like with a cloth or something?” she asked, then laughed. “I don’t know how it works digitally at all.”
Yes... it technically is a crime and the chance of Pelosi and gang being held accountable is about the same chance as being hit by lightning... twice!

I've been on social media in its current incarnations and its precursors (like dial-up AOL chat rooms) on-and-off since the mid-'90s. I have learned one consistent lesson over and over and over, and it has never not happened.
Here it is:
Anywhere online that conservatives are allowed to speak freely, so-called "progressives" will do almost anything, including gaming the relevant administrative tools, to silence that conservative speech.
This is an absolute, hard & fast, objective truth, and I have yet to encounter an exception.

The J6 committee is no exception.
