The Democrats’ Criminal ‘Jan 6 Committee’ Just Illegally Leaked the Soc. Security Nos. of 2,000 Republicans

The criminal Democrats behind the illicit Jan. 6 Committee is now guilty of a crime of its own after it released the Social Security Numbers of nearly 2,000 Republicans, GOP governors, and their family members.

Per the Washington Post:

When the House Jan. 6 committee wrapped up its work in recent weeks, it posted hundreds of records online, including interview transcripts, audio recordings and text messages.

Also buried in the massive cache was a spreadsheet with nearly 2,000 Social Security numbers associated with visitors to the White House in December 2020, including at least three members of Trump’s Cabinet, a few Republican governors and numerous Trump allies. …

Representatives of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) and former health and human services secretary Alex Azar, who were listed in the spreadsheet alongside Social Security numbers, declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment.

It gets worse. According to HotAir:

Not only did a number of Republican officials and their families — Kristi Noem’s children, for instance — have their SSNs exposed, no one warned them either before or after the release. Noem’s office pointed that out when asked by the Post to comment. Most others declined to comment and thus validate the data that the committee had published to a world of scammers and identity thieves. That also includes two federal judges and “at least a half-dozen people” who testified to the committee, as well as one of their attorneys.

One committee aide, talking anonymously, claimed that the release was “inadvertent.” It wasn’t “inadvertent” as much as it was incompetent. This data should have been redacted from the records as soon as the committee received it. The National Archives, which supplied those records to the J6 committee under subpoena, told the Post that they never thought the committee would be stupid enough to release them unredacted

This is a gift to identity thieves, not to mention people who would like as much information as possible to target Republicans and their families.

So, it wasn’t enough that these Democrats have lied about there being an “insurrection” on Jan. 6 (there was no such thing), but now they are working to put innocent Republicans that had nothing to do with the event in danger.

The Democrat Party puts every single person in this country in danger.
