Inside the Surveillance State: Denver Riggleman and How the Jan. 6 Commission Threatened Our Rights

Denver Riggleman took great pride in announcing in 2021 that the January 6 Commission had asked him to take on the role of senior technical adviser. The former Virginia Republican congressman’s job would be to use his experience as a retired Air Force intelligence officer to do data mining and pursue phone records and other digital data tied to the participants in the Capitol Hill protests.

Investigative Journalist John Solomon just published an expose that details how the Jan. 6 investigation trampled all over the Bill of Rights and specifically how Riggleman’s work may have helped make that possible.

One of the people in Solomon’s report is Mike Howell of the Oversight Project, a government watchdog organization originally started by The Heritage Foundation. Howell sits down with The Daily Signal to detail how every American is at risk in this digital world as a result of the commission’s investigation and how the Bill of Rights fights to survive.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
