Banks: *complains he was removed from the committee*
Cheney: I would like to introduce for the record a number of letters the gentleman from Indiana has been sending to Federal Agencies dated September 16th 2021 signing his name as the ranking member of the committee he’s not on

First, it's crazy that he's doing that. Then that she got the letters. And finally that she just body slammed him on the floor of the House with a bloodlessness only a Cheney could have.

Alas will believe that when I see the prosecution and conviction happen.

Of interest is why did Bank do this and what were the intended ends of the execise?
