Ex-Capitol Police chief links Jan. 6 failures to Pelosi’s influence, questions security today



The former Capitol Police chief forced to resign following Jan. 6 is set to release his side of the story in a new book warning nothing has been done to put the “agency into a better position” and that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) fault has remained unaddressed.

The day after the Capitol was breached and the narrative of a failed insurrection was being circulated, then-Capitol Police chief Steven Sund was singled out by the speaker for the breakdown in security with a public call for his resignation. Tuesday, nearly two years later, Sund’s account is slated for release in the book titled “Courage Under Fire” in which he recounts how his own preliminary requests for the National Guard to be put on standby were dismissed, seemingly to satisfy the whims of Pelosi.

“Almost two years after the events of Jan. 6, the department is not in a better place or on a readier footing,” The Washington Post reported Sund wrote after obtaining an advance copy of the book. “Few people in the department feel there is a visible plan to move the agency into a better position. Hundreds of officers have left the department since Jan. 6 and many feel it is only going to get worse.”

House committee should force Pelosi to testify, as well as the Former Chief. If they actually elect a Republican to Speaker and not a Democrat.

“’The central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed,” reads the report. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.”

Not gonna read it, but this statement on it's own is both obviously correct but could be interpreted to mean literally anything.

You could also say that "the central cause of the BLM protests/riots was one man, George Floyd", but that completely ignores the entire point of their protests, that the system is rigged against them (whether you agree or not). It's not like more than 3 people on this earth cared about that man the day before.

Sure, the Jan 6 event wouldn't have happened without Trump. Because the Democrats wouldn't have been caught out so obviously cheating without Trump.

January 6 Committee Releases Social Security Numbers Of Top Trump Officials, Republican Governors



The House January 6 Committee, now disbanded, released Social Security numbers belonging to hundreds of Americans, including former Trump staffers and other top Republican officials.

After the committee’s last public meeting last month, it released a trove of official records, testimonies, transcripts, and other information that it collected as part of its 18-month investigation into the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. One of those documents was a spreadsheet containing nearly 2,000 Social Security numbers of people who visited the White House in December 2020.

Among the Social Security numbers on the list, since removed from January 6 files, was information associated with at least three Trump cabinet members, as well as some Republican governors and numerous officials and allies, according to The Washington Post. Those people whose information was on the spreadsheet are now at an “elevated risk” to be victims of identity theft-related crimes, Identity Theft Resource Center COO James Lee said.

Undercover DC Police Officer Pushed Protesters Toward Capitol, Climbed Over Barricade: Court Filing

Three undercover Metropolitan Police Department officers joined the march of protesters up the northwest side of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021—including one who climbed over a barricade and pushed others toward the Capitol, and another who walked behind Ashli Babbitt and predicted that “someone will get shot,” according to newly disclosed court documents.

New court motions filed by Jan. 6 defendant William Pope of Topeka, Kansas, also show MPD bicycle officers stopping four armed men in plainclothes on Jan. 6. The men turned out to be federal agents. Video included with Pope’s filings also shows uniformed MPD officers saying, “we were set up” to fail on Jan. 6.

Information in the court papers will rekindle the debate about the role that undercover officers and agents played in the riots of Jan. 6 and why the U.S. Department of Justice and federal judges have kept the evidence under seal and away from public view.

“This video clearly evidences undercover law enforcement officers urging the crowds to advance up the stairs and scaffolding towards the Capitol on January 6,” Pope wrote in one motion. “The government may claim that incidents like this did not happen, but the facts show they did.

“Since the government cannot be trusted to disclose these facts,” Pope wrote, “it becomes even more important that defense teams, including Pro Se defendants, be able to directly examine the evidence.”

January 6 Panel Chairman Issues Warning Over Tucker Carlson Getting Tapes




Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) issued a statement hours after Axios broke the news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave Fox News host Tucker Carlson access to 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 — the day a crowd of people entered the U.S. Capitol, disrupting lawmakers who were meeting to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

“When the Select Committee obtained access to U.S. Capitol Police video footage, it was treated with great sensitivity given concerns about the security of lawmakers, staff, and the Capitol complex,” Thompson said.

“Access was limited to members and a small handful of investigators and senior staff, and the public use of any footage was coordinated in advance with Capitol Police. It’s hard to overstate the potential security risks if this material were to be used irresponsibly,” he added.



Observing the keening and wailing, seeing how scared Progressives are running to the media screeching ' security concerns ' they do not want the carefully filtered narrative disturbed

Why J6 Transparency Frightens the Democrats



What is actually at risk, of course, is the carefully crafted Democratic narrative about what really happened at the Capitol on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021. They have invested an enormous amount of taxpayer money and political capital in an attempt to convince the public that it was an insurrection perpetrated by MAGA extremists who have taken over the GOP and are likely to launch another attack on “our democracy” in the future. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) intimated that last week in this ridiculous tweet: “McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for a 2024 insurrection?”


This kind of rhetoric has failed, however, to convince Americans that the republic is in much danger. As we approached the first anniversary of the riot, a CBS/YouGov poll asked 2,063 adults how they would describe it. After a year of hearing the corporate media refer to the event as an insurrection, 76 percent described it merely as “a protest that went too far.” Another problem the Democrats have is that insurrection is a felony crime punishable by a hefty fine and 10 years in prison. Two years later, not one individual has been charged with that crime. A Justice Department report issued last month indicates that most of the defendants charged pursuant to the Jan. 6 melee involve relatively minor offenses.

Fully 860 of the 950 arrested were charged with the heinous crime of “entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds.” The second most common charge was “corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding, or attempting to do so.” As for convictions, most have resulted from plea deals involving misdemeanors. This lackluster performance doesn’t support the insurrection narrative, and it is presumably one reason the corporate media has shown so little interest in the Capitol surveillance video the Democrats withheld from the public. Not surprisingly, this state of affairs has suddenly changed. CBS News reports that the Fourth Estate has awakened from its torpor:

A group of media organizations, including CBS News, is demanding access to a tranche of surveillance and police videos from the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol that U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy provided to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
In a letter to congressional leadership Friday, the media companies argue the footage McCarthy allowed Carlson and Fox News to access should be made available to other media groups.
The letter was sent on behalf of CBS News, CNN, Politico, ProPublica ABC, Axios, Advance, Scripps, the Los Angeles Times, and Gannett.

Darren Beattie’s 2-word advice to Tucker’s team reviewing 40K hours of J6 footage: “Western perimeter”…



Predictably, the fake news media is outraged at the prospect of anyone other than them having access to the footage.





Charlie Kirk had Revolver News’ Darren Beattie on his program to discuss the release of this footage. Beattie pointed out some dark aspects of the above media commentator’s history which can be explored in more detail in this classic Revolver piece.

After dispatching Tucker’s detractors, Beattie explains where the Fedsurrection bodies are buried, offering advice to Tucker’s producers on where to target their search for damning footage further exposing the Fedsurrection lie.

What are they asking for .? Democrats gave them all the tapes they wanted seen on the news. Why didn't they ask where the rest was then.

I think what they're going to find is, that most of the tapes will show people just walking around, taking selfies and looking like goofballs - which destroys the current narrative of a bloodthirsty violent mob intent on overthrowing the government.

I've seen SOME video like this - people being waved in one door by Capitol police, people taking pics in the Rotunda and walking THROUGH the Rotunda staying INSIDE the velvet roped area. NOT the picture of crazed loonies running amok.

Security fears are - well, massively lame. One of their arguments is that if the videos become public, blind areas will be known to people trying to exploit them. Well, damn, two years, get rid of blind areas, because ANYONE can exploit them.

Plus they ought to know - if Tucker gets his hands on them, he is not going to show tens of thousands of hours of stuff. He IS going to show a lot of what a lot of us HAVE seen - video of stuff that doesn't square with what's been reported and shown. For every nut job smashing in a window, there were dozens JUST WALKING inside and making asses of themselves.

As you see in the previous article - the overwhelming number of people charged, were charged with what amounts to trespassing and disturbing a government proceeding. Cases of vandalism. Maybe petty larceny. If THIS is what is termed as a violent mob, what the hell was the country subjected to for eight months?

Washington Post Writer Opposes Public Seeing All January 6 Video Footage






We all know what these fascists are afraid of… That the video will reveal a whole lot of entrapment, will reveal the Capitol Police inviting the trespassers in (which means they are not trespassers). They’re also worried we will see the fascists scumbags who work for the F.B.I. engaging in the worst kind of entrapment.

Milbank and Steele are so beyond naked partisanship it’s glorious. I’m as political as anyone, but there is no way I would oppose ALL THE VIDEO of an Antifa/Black Lives Matter attack on a state capitol to be released. Of course, we should release that video, every second of it. You see, to some of us, there are more important things than politics. There’s truth, decency, and a little thing I like to call due process.

You see, that’s what fascists such as Milbank and Steele oppose: due process. On top of the Reichstag fire usefulness of the January 6 mostly peaceful protest, there’s the fact that this video might prove that some of those being prosecuted by the government are being persecuted.


Who doesn’t want due process for everyone?

Fascists. Fascists such as Dana Milbank and Michael Steele.

We’re discovering who these people truly are, and that is a beautiful thing.

One more point… Suppose all 45,000 hours had been released to Dana Milbank, Michael Steele, CNN, the Washington Post, or any other corporate media outlet, and that video proved beyond any doubt that the Capitol police and F.B.I. engaged in entrapment and incitement. In that case, we all know they would lie to us and tell us the video showed no such thing.

That’s why the video had to go to a Tucker Carlson.

We trust him.

Tucker Carlson Has Limited ‘Access’ to Jan. 6 Tapes, Republican Confirms

https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2018/11/09/Tucker-Carlson-debate-1200x800.jpg


A key Republican lawmaker said Fox News’ Tucker Carlson doesn’t have unrestricted access to tens of thousands of hours of Jan. 6 Capitol footage, said a Republican lawmaker, coming after it was confirmed that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) handed the footage to him.

“It’s basically controlled access to be able to view tapes. Can’t record, can’t take anything with you,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, told The Hill Tuesday, adding that his panel is working with the House sergeant-at-arms and Capitol Police. “Then they will request any particular clips that—that they may need, and then we’ll make sure that there’s nothing sensitive, nothing classified—you know, escape routes.”

Elaborating, Loudermilk told CBS News that Carlson’s staff “may request any particular clips they may need, then we’ll make sure there’s nothing sensitive, nothing classified, including escape routes … we don’t want al-Qaeda to know certain things.”

While both McCarthy and Carlson have confirmed the move, few details about the agreement were provided. Other mainstream outlets have asked McCarthy to provide them with the footage.

The $3M, two-year January 6th committee was destroyed by a single devastating cable news segment - because the left was never interested in truth. They just wanted revenge



So, for all the effort and expense poured into the January 6th committee, why is America only seeing this footage now?

The answer is obvious. It didn't fit the Democrats' narrative, so it was left out.

Democrats, aided by two virulently anti-Trump Republicans, sought to portray January 6th as an insurrection – inspired, led, and directed by Donald Trump.

They recruited a former top news executive to build the drama. Democrat-allied media compelled millions of Americans to watch. And it all cost the U.S. taxpayer more than $3.3 million dollars.

But it was easily undermined because it was all so obviously, blatantly disingenuous.
