We demand that Congress initiate a formal investigation into the events surrounding January 6th, 2021, under the federal statute 18 U.S. Code § 4, which mandates reporting knowledge of a felony. With mounting evidence and testimonies suggesting mishandling and misconduct during the investigation and prosecution of January 6th defendants, it is imperative that any individuals with such knowledge are held accountable. Notably, Sarah McAbee, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Stand in the Gap, testified before Congress on June 13, 2023, stressing the need for transparency and justice in these cases. Her testimony highlighted the failure of government officials to disclose critical evidence related to January 6th, warranting further inquiry.
This petition seeks a thorough and impartial investigation into potential criminal activity and suppression of evidence by those involved in prosecuting January 6th defendants. It is crucial for the American people to have confidence that justice is being served fairly, and that any wrongdoing or negligence is brought to light. We urge Congress to fulfill its responsibility under 18 U.S. Code § 4 by investigating these allegations to restore public trust in the legal process.
