Jan 6 Committee Exposes Nearly 2,000 Social Security Numbers This is Republicans

At The truth is that no one can claim that the January 6 committee didn’t have an impact! Greg Abbott, Kristi Noem, Henry McMaster, and their families will have to guard against identity theft for the rest of their lives, thanks to the committee’s work in exposing their Social Security numbers.

How Many numbers were exposed. “Around 1900” According to the Washington PostIt was from White House The committee was provided with visitor logs. The The J6 committee did not redact the spreadsheets that were released to the public in its final report on the riot.

Ben Carson, Trump Cabinet member who had nothing to do the riot January 6th, claimed validation Ronald Reagan When he was notified that his SSN was exposed:

When The House Jan. 6 committee completed its work in recent week and posted hundreds of records online including audio recordings and text messages.

Also The spreadsheet contained nearly 2,000 entries and was hidden in the massive cache. Social Security There are many numbers associated with visitors. White House In December 2020, at least three members Trump’s CabinetA few Republican Governors and many others Trump allies. …

Representatives This is Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) and former secretary for health and human services Alex AzarThe spreadsheet also included the names of other people who were listed alongside them Social Security Numbers declined to comment on the request or did not respond to it.

“Whether it was a careless and sloppy handling of records or a deliberate disregard of decorum, either scenario is a perfunctory and callous display of government and a frightening reminder of the current state in Washington,” – Former housing and urban design secretary Ben CarsonThe spreadsheet also included the name of a Social Security number. “President Reagan was a savant indeed — the nine most frightening words to hear are ‘I am from the government and here to help.’”

Not Only a few of them were successful. 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 Comment. Most Others declined to comment, validating the data that the committee published to a world of identity thieves and scammers. That Also, there are two federal judges. “at least a half-dozen people” They were both witnesses to the committee as well as one of their lawyers.

One An anonymous committee aide claimed that the release was “inadvertent.” It wasn’t “inadvertent” As much as it was Incompetent. This The records should have been deleted as soon as they were received by the committee. The National ArchivesThe records were provided by a company called ‘Subpoena’ to the J6 committee. Post They never imagined that the committee would be stupid enough not to release them unredacted.

The National Archives The blame was placed on the Jan. 6 committee. The Archives’s public and media communications office told The Post In a statement that “while we took affirmative steps to redact personally identifiable information (PII), we did not expect that the Committee would publicly release records that still may have contained PII.”

The Statement added that The Post’s request for comment “was the first we had heard of a potential inadvertent release of personally identifiable information” And that “we are assessing the situation and any necessary steps to address an inadvertent release.”

It’s possible that this was both inadvertent And incompetent. Using Occam’s Razor, that’s the most likely conclusion to draw. It At least the Smell Retribution against Donald Trump’s allies and associates, but connecting those Dots would have to assume that this committee was competent enough to conceive such a plan while performing mainly incompetently all along. We do They did however, behave as if it was deliberate.

Nineteen hundred people or more will now have to engage in protection against identity theft for years, possibly for life, all thanks to a committee that couldn’t be trusted with sensitive information. And This is likely to be the greatest impact the J6 committee has ever had.
