I don’t know about that, creative editing can make video show pretty much whatever you want. You know exactly what they’re saying Tucker did.

I'm wondering how they manage to explain the many videos of people just milling around - of QAnon shaman walking with the Capitol police and saying a prayer thanking them - people just taking selfies and picking up stuff. It didn't look like a bloodthirsty mob - it looked like a damned bake sale. I mean, how DO YOU edit a crazed mob and make it look like a boring day at the fairgrounds?
I’d do it by taking the most boring parts when everyone’s tired, even if that’s only 5 minutes of 40k hours and play that.
But... but... 140 law enforcement personnel were injured that day.
Methinks that's a lot like John Kerry's Purple Hearts.

Most of the physical violence occurred outside by the metal barricades.

And in that respect, the violence was more or less identical in amount and severity to every protest in 2020.
Dear Conservatives, I Apologize
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.
Former J6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson Claims He Didn’t Have Access to January 6 Footage
Bennie Thompson told CNN that he is not aware of any January 6 Committee members having access to the J6 footage.
“I’m actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video,” Bennie Thompson told CNN.
Via CNN: “Bennie Thompson, former chair of the Jan. 6 committee, said lawmakers were never given that type of access to the footage last Congress. “It’s strictly a new policy that the new speaker has put in place,” he told CNN.”
CNN reporter Alayna Treene continued, “Thompson said he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage — they let only staff view it. “I’m actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.””

This is horrifically wrong on so many levels. It's bad enough that the J6 guys only assembled material and persons to favor a predetermined agenda - to find a way to tarnish Trump and link him to a crime so as to keep him out of politics - it also shows that our lawmakers rely on unelected staff to actually make their decisions for them.
That's not even the worst - the worst is, they completely trust this. So we have Congresspersons who claim to have NEVER SEEN THE FOOTAGE, and yet are empowered to sit in judgment on it. This is like a judge just handing the gavel to the prosecution and just taking a nap until it's done.

This whole article, if meant sincerely - and I believe it is - is extraordinary. I've always thought Naomi Wolf was kind of kooky - but it is extraordinary for her to have changed her mind largely on the airing of Tucker's show, although she admits to feeling a little foolish in believing SO MANY LEFT WING narratives that were later debunked, that by the time she saw Tucker's show, she was willing to change her mind.
The Steele dossier - the Mueller report - the Biden laptop - the Sicknick death - somewhere - I think it was Maher who observed this - they have to get TIRED OF CONSTANTLY BEING WRONG.
So when she sees QAnon Shaman calmly being walked around the Capitol, not at all dangerous, it's beginning to look like what people said before - he's not a dangerous terrorist - he's QUITE docile. The get up is probably the most radical thing he's ever done, and is in stark contrast to his general character.

Well folks if the report that the J-6 committee never actually saw the footage and that it was seen and edited by staffer is true it merely confirms what we have all known before.
The people we have in Congress are a bunch of lazy C-suckers who let their staff do all the work while they sit on their asses and do whatever they are told.

All but no buildings burning .
The FBI & DOJ will go into Sgt. Schultz mode if asked any questions regarding this matter.
Just like all those senate hearings where witnesses give the "I don't recall that" when asked a culpability question.
