Now that the Republicans have slim control over the House of Representatives, maybe it’s time for the GOP to form its own commission tasked with investigating the ethics (or lack thereof) of the recently disbanded January 6th Committee:
House Jan. 6 Committee leaks thousands of Trump allies’ Social Security numbers: Report – https://t.co/Ghgqw9IuJb
— The Washington Times (@WashTimes) January 7, 2023
Leaks possibly came from a member or members of the January 6th Commission? Gee, who would have done that? (Cue massive eye roll)
From the Washington Times:
The recently sunsetted House Jan. 6 committee released Trump White House visitor logs from December 2020 containing nearly 2,000 unreacted Social Security numbers.
At least three of the numbers, inadvertently leaked as part of the hoard of documents the committee posted online in recent weeks, belonged to members of Trump’s cabinet others. Several Republican governors and floods of other Trump allies have been caught up in the privacy breach.
The document was taken down on Wednesday, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the leak, but the Government Publishing Office, which was responsible for posting the file online, does not appear to have notified the individuals whose private information was leaked.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and some of her family members were among those whose SS numbers were leaked, and she’s sent a letter demanding answers:
My lawyers have asked the @WhiteHouse, the @USNatArchives, and @BennieGThompson which of them is responsible for leaking the Social Security Numbers of me, my husband, my 3 kids, and my son-in-law.

Imagine the flailing among Democrats if the leak involved Biden’s family or other prominent Dems.
In the real world, where competence and trust is demanded, you lose your job for this. https://t.co/5XPHxP9xWM

There are two types of people who applauded the J6 committee for more than a fleeting moment: Partisans who knew the entire point was a political hit job, and useless grifter Real Con Inc types.

That certainly appears to be the case.
This is a bigger crime with documents than anything the DOJ has been pursuing with Trump.

There needs to be jail time for the entire J6th non committee. https://t.co/6Ns0dp96Eg

Meanwhile the corporate media will mostly yawn at this story.
