Top Democrat On J6 Committee: We Actually Didn’t Review Any Of The Surveillance Video

Tucker Carlson, Fox News’ host on Capitol Surveillance footage this week exposed yet another falsehood by the House Select Committee Jan. 6. Democrats and media allies were furious. The chair of the committee said Wednesday that the critical footage was never actually examined by the panel.

Monday’s issue of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Fox News showed the footage from the riot Jan. 6, 2021. It undermined the report of the select committee. “deadly insurrection.” Carlson was granted video access by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. His team examined over 40,000 hours footage. It proved that McCarthy manipulated audio-visual material to portray the violence during its election-year hearings.

In a statement made Wednesday night to CNN by Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the select committee claimed that the panel had never examined the blockbuster Fox News footage aired this week.

“I’m not actually aware of any member of the committee who had access,” Thompson stated. “We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.”

Hire investigators who are “kind of went through the video” It doesn’t sound like it would be a thorough investigation.

Thompson’s admittance that his committee was not diligent makes little sense. How is it possible that lawmakers don’t have access to the same materials as their staff? The footage was not shown to the camera. Did any of the panel members see it? Thompson doesn’t know who had the tapes. It was just Thompson. former television executives They hired them to make their show trials. Thompson could be lying about who had access to the keys, or he gave the key to Liz Cheney as Vice Chair and did nothing with the information while the committee was working. leaked CNN has exclusives

The Federalist did not get a reply from Thompson’s bureau immediately.

It was clear that the committee had the video Carlson showed this week, which contradicted key panel narratives. Members of the committee bragged endlessly about how many documents were available, and more. 35,000, investigators reviewed. Nancy Pelosi House Speaker, used the committee in order to dodge accountability her own failure to secure the Capitol, just refused to make the tapes public — and after Carlson’s revelations, it’s clear why.

Carlson’s programme showed Carlson that Carlson was the one who made the person of the future. “insurrection,” The Known as “QAnon Shaman,” This was given Police give VIP treatment.

Carlson revealed Monday that his team found proof that Democrats in Pelosi’s probe came across similar footage to Fox.

“We can be sure because the footage contains an electronic bookmark that is still archived in the Capitol’s computer system,” Carlson. “That means that investigators working for the Democratic Party saw this tape. They saw it, but they refused to release the tape to the public.”

Staffers from the committee used some footage to show Josh Hawley, R.Mo., fleeing the Capitol. Carlson only extended the footage for a fraction more time than was broadcast in committee show-trial hearings. It became evident that Hawley fled the Capitol with the other members. The committee published the clip in its entirety. demonstrably dishonest.
