Liz Cheney's pardon from former President Joe Biden might be keeping her warm at night as she wanders the frozen political wasteland of her own making, but she might not want to get too comfortable with her current situation.
On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced the formation of a new J6 subcommittee that will be tasked with continuing the investigation into "all events leading up to and after January 6." This new committee replaces the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight, and will once again be chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). Here's the interesting twist: it will now fall under the purview of the House Judiciary Committee and its chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
In announcing the formation of the Select Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, Speaker Johnson said:
“House Republicans are proud of our work so far in exposing the false narratives peddled by the politically motivated January 6 Select Committee during the 117th Congress, but there is still more work to be done. We are establishing this Select Subcommittee to continue our efforts to uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people. The composition and other details regarding the Select Subcommittee will be announced soon.”
RedState's Bob Hoge reported in December on the findings by Loudermilk and the old committee, noting it had "concluded that A) the events were preventable and B) Cheney may have criminally tampered with a witness during the inquiry."
It seems a significant shift to move the J6 subcommittee from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to the House Judiciary Committee, and is likely a direct result of Biden pardoning all those involved with the nefarious J6 Committee. There are a lot of Americans who would like to see true justice exacted here, using all judicial means possible, and this could be a significant step in making that happen.
After Biden presented Liz Cheney with the Presidential Citizens Award—the second highest honor that can be bestowed on a civilian—earlier in January, an incensed Speaker Johnson took to X to confirm the House would be fully funding the investigation to uncover the truth:
Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) ~ What a complete joke and utter embarrassment.
Biden is foolishly giving an award to members of Congress who intentionally and repeatedly lied to the American people?!
The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence - created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump. They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time.
Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress.

The pardons clearly just made Republicans that much more motivated to uncover the truth about the shenanigans, misdeeds, and possible criminality perpetrated by Liz Cheney and her merry band of political parasites.
Jordan seems ready to get the investigation rolling once again, commenting:
“Rep. Loudermilk has been the leader in getting to the bottom of what the Democrat-led January 6 Committee failed to uncover, and we look forward to helping him bring all the facts to the American people.”
Loudermilk is also raring to go:
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (@RepLoudermilk) ~ I appreciate @SpeakerJohnson’s commitment to our work, and I am looking forward to working with Chairman @Jim_Jordan to continue to uncover all the facts and begin the arduous task of making needed reforms to ensure this level of security failure may never happen again.
Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) ~ House Republicans are proud of our work exposing the false narratives peddled by the politically motivated Jan. 6 Select Committee, but there's more to be done.
We're establishing a Select Subcommittee chaired by @RepLoudermilk to continue our efforts to uncover the full truth.
Keep your phone on, Liz.
Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and the Democrats on the Banana Republic J6 Committee have the same problem that the traitors in the Deep State bureaucracy have ... they made a YUGE miscalculation ... they thought lawfare waged by the Democrat Party was going to ensure that Donald Trump would never ever get back into The White House and their corrupt, treasonous actions would be swept under the carpet never to bite them in the ass. Well ...
