"If" is the operative word... also everyone seems to think this is the Perry Mason TV hour where crimes are solved in less than 1 hour....
There are allegedly over 40,000 hours of J6 footage that have not yet been made public. Tucker Carlson “destroyed the insurrection narrative” on Monday’s show with video excerpts from the event. Carlson commented, “Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6 was an insurrection. In fact, it demolishes that claim. You would never have known from the media coverage.” President Trump praised McCarthy and Tucker Carlson for the release of the footage.Outrageous spin from media claiming videos Tucker showed are “public” or at least accessible to defendants. The idea any defendant or defense atty can easily access the security footage is simply not true (as they’ll tell you) and suggestion all clips can be made public is a lie.

Dear Conservatives, I Apologize
My "Team" was Taken in By Full-Spectrum Propaganda
Dr Naomi Wolf
There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere.
It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without ever acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes, multiplied by the tens of thousands and millions on the part of people just like me, hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways.
But that erasure of personal and public history would be wrong.
I owe you a full-throated apology.
I believed a farrago of lies. And, as a result of these lies, and my credulity — and the credulity of people similarly situated to me - many conservatives’ reputations are being tarnished, on false bases.
The proximate cause of this letter of apology is the airing, two nights ago, of excepts from tens of thousands of hours of security camera footage from the United States Capitol taken on Jan 6, 2021. The footage was released by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson [https://www.axios.com/2023/03/08/mccarthy-defends-jan-6-footage-tucker-carlson-fox-news].
While “fact-checkers” state that it is “misinformation” to claim that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was in charge of Capitol Police on that day [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...osi-isnt-in-charge-capitol-police/8082088002/], the fact is that the USCP is under the oversight of Congress, according to — the United States Capitol Police: [https://www.uscp.gov/the-department/oversight].
This would be the same Congress that convened the January 6 Committee subsequently, and that used millions of dollars in taxpayer money to turn that horrible day, and that tragic event, into a message point that would be used to tar a former President as a would-be terrorist, and to smear all Republicans, by association, as “insurrectionists,” or as insurrectionists’ sympathizers and fellow-travelers.
There is no way to unsee Officer Brian Sicknick, claimed by some Democrats in leadership and by most of the legacy media to have been killed by rioters at the Capitol that day, alive in at least one section of the newly released video. The USCP medical examiner states that this Officer died of “natural causes,” but also that he died “in the line of duty.” Whatever the truth of this confusing conclusion, and with all respect for and condolences to Officer Sicknick’s family, the circumstances of his death do matter to the public, as without his death having been caused by the events of Jan 6, the breach of the capitol, serious though it was, cannot be described as a “deadly insurrection.” [https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/p...cp-officer-brian-sicknick-died-natural-causes] Sadly, though the contrary was what was reported, Officer Sicknick died two days after Jan 6, from suffering two strokes. https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol...suffering-two-strokes-day-after-jan-6-report/
There is no way for anyone thoughtful, even if he or she is a lifelong Democrat, not to notice that Sen Chuck Schumer did not say to the world that the footage that Mr Carlson aired was not real. Rather, he warned that it was “shameful” for Fox to allow us to see it. The Guardian characterized Mr Carlson’s and Fox News’ sin, weirdly, as “Over-Use” of Jan 6 footage. Isn’t the press supposed to want full transparency for all public interest events? [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...dicare-taxes-desantis-trump-2024-live-updates] How can you “over-use” real footage of events of national relevance?

She wasn't wrong though....
So why would you want it to happen to other Americans?
Doesn't the video we can all now see, constitute proof that things were not as they've been portrayed?
I agree.
So why trust the ones prosecuting and judging the Jan 6th defendants? They're Americans with the same Rights as you. If they can have evidence withheld and held for extended period without trial, so can you. Are you ok with that happening to you? If not, extend that same attitude to them, too.
Yep, they ignored those that actually instigated the whole things and did not charge them. They got Ray Epps on video encouraging people to go inside.
About f'ing time. For two years you hung on Liz's every word on this, as though it was gospel. I sincerely hope you are starting to see the railroading for what it was.
Could it be because the ones they failed to charge were agent provocateurs? That'd be my guess. Otherwise, why ignore people who actually did violence that day, and instead go after those seen as political opponents with a vengeance?
It's waaay past that time
Any thinking person should have known better.
Because it is quick and easy to highlight text and add to quote as I scroll through a thread.Started laughing when I read this. You've been going strong (multi-quoting) like this a long time. Gotta give you credit. You're not a quitter.
Screaming constitutes a crime worthy of 41 Months in prison?
You mean like they've done with people like Chansley?
Like what? They said that Chansley was the worst one there, but now video evidence shows otherwise.
No, a lot copped pleas due to being in what looked like a hopeless situation.
Glad it worked out for ya.
What are some reasons you might think they would not charge people that the gov knew were actually being violent?
....based on incomplete and misleading information, obviously.
Of course not. They were on a witch hunt for President Trump due to him having beat their tired old hag.
It's looking as though the initiators/instigators was the gov itself.
Glad to hear that.
Yea right, he's gonna go on tv and explain how he had his thumb on the scales of Justice? Fat chance of that.
Again, glad to hear that.
This is the stuff of a Greek Tragedy.
Your own video shows Chansley not being violent. It shows him walk through it while at the same time shows unidentified people breaking windows. Yet we were told that Chansley was violent? Your video proves that was not so.
No, the entrenched powers in gov that were there before Trump got there, are the ones who would be served by setting this up in order to make Trump and his supporters look bad.
You may laugh, but had Trump not beaten their hag, he would not have been gone after by them.
We should be. Those are the people being prosecuted/persecuted.
So what? For at least four years we were bombarded with false claims that Trump stole the election in '16.
Yet still wrote a book about how she was cheated.
We've already seen that that ain't true as far as Chansley goes.
Who do you think is letting them slip slide away?
Yet you don't remember being gas lit about how Trump colluded with Putin in order to hack the election? We had a $35 million three year investigation over it. You seem to have a short memory when it comes to that.
