Why did McCarthy Give Tucker Carlson Exclusive Access to J6 Footage?

[NxNW]

Perhaps the biggest lie was that Trump colluded with Russia to steal an election

Given the fact that Trump colluded with Russia, it's not a lie.

26 Months Since the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol

www.justice.gov

• Approximately 326 defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees, including approximately 106 individuals who have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.
  • Approximately 140 police officers were assaulted Jan. 6 at the Capitol, including about 80 from the U.S. Capitol Police and about 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department.
• Approximately 11 individuals have been arrested on a series of charges that relate to assaulting a member of the media, or destroying their equipment, on Jan. 6.

I'm guessing Tucker Carlson never included those facts in his selected edited videos...

How much time did he get for that?

 

[NxNW]

The Democrat inquisition was a partisan hack job where Trump wasn't allowed to have a single defense throughout the entire process.

When you say partisan, how many of the people who testified against him were Republicans?

We were discussing his collusion, which is well-documented, not lack of accountability.

29 pages, half of which is filled with folks swalling Tucker's grape juice.

Look, the U.S. Capital building was unsecured for several hours on Jan 6th, with members of Congress fearing for their live....and YET, here we are, defenders of Tucker's alternative reality are still at...SMH

How on earth can real video be an alternate reality? Well I guess the other video is an alternate reality too and the one you believe to be real. The left has real problems with reality and not just in this.

Here's the reality. There were people there that got out of control and rioted. We conservatives see that and understand that it happened. We also believe those involved should be prosecuted.

We also see people walking around the capitol acting very mellow. Not running around looking for politicians, smashing and burning things. Staying in orderly lines and following the ropes. No one is carrying weapons. So aside from the fact they were trespassing they were pretty much not doing anything. We conservatives also believe they should be prosecuted for trespassing.

What we see here is angry and disorderly rioters who believed the election was stolen, along with some peaceful trespassers who were also there to protest the election process. This does not lead to an insurrection that you guys believe in. You've been sold a false narrative. And the fact that we've never been shown these videos is proof of that.

You could just as easily have posted, "I didn't read a word of the Mueller report".

There is no crime called "collision". The contract and coordination, overt and tacit, between Donald's campaign and the Russians is, however, well documented.

Mueller finds no collusion with Russia, leaves obstruction question open

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation did not find sufficient evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the United States’ 2016 election and did not take a clear position on whether Trump obstructed justice.

They broke into the Capitol. I'll say that again...they broke into the Capitol. The very seat of demcracy in the US. Where there was a process being carried out to verify the election. They were there to try to prevent that happening. I really don't care if you have access to video showing people taking selfies and tidying things up. They were there TRYING TO PREVENT THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS FROM BEING FINALISED. Enter that building and you are NOT a sightseer or a tourist. You enter the building and you are immediately part of the problem.

The leader of the house and the VP at the time, who were both there, have told you, in no uncertain terms, that it was an assault on American values. That the seriousness of the events should not be downplayed. And what's your response? Hey, look. Someone said a prayer. Someone picked up a tripod.

You simply have no idea how serious an event this was. None whatsoever.

Apparently you missed the videos of police opening the doors and letting them in.

Do you have an issue with actually reading what I said? Cause I never said they were innocent sight seers. Did I. I've said they were trespassing. They were acting orderly and in fashion but we're still trespassing.

And people have a full right to protest the election and demand a halt to the process of they want to. That's what a free country allows. They do not have a right to riot or trespass.

They weren't trying to overthrow the government. That's a false narrative. I know you believe it with all your heart a a you are entitled to do so.

And when there is a riot around the capital it's the right thing to remove the officials.

But in the scheme of things? If they were there to really overthrow the government they would have needed a greater organization, weapons and a plan. A disorganized mob pushing barricades, yelling and screaming, spraying cops with pepper spray, breaking a few windows, and walking in an orderly fashion around the capital all done without real weapons does not an insurrection make. It's still a serious issue. Very serious because you should NOT behave in such a fashion in an orderly society. It's foolish and unproductive. And if you participated you should be prosecuted.

May I use the lefts own words when describing the riots in 2020? People just wanted to be heard and we have to understand that. Because that's all they feel they have left to to when they feel unheard.

I bet you don't say that about what happened on Jan 6. I've never heard a leftist say that. Yet they said it in spades during 2020.

So sick of the double standard.

 

[GreatLakes4Ever]

Lol it appears you guys are the ones who can't handle the truth when it's shown, which destroys your whole insurrection narrative.

Yes some people did some bad things. They behaved badly and those that did should be held accountable. But an insurrection? Nah.

For the people who went into the Capital, what was their goal? What did they think their presents was going to cause to happen?

He wasn't charged with acts of violence or vandalism. We're not claiming he committed either, but there is a space between "peaceful" and "violent" and Chansley was definitely in that space. He was not fully respectful of the police. That's what were trying to tell you.

He does seem to be fanatical and has fallen for numerous falsehoods.

Here is Chansley being driven out of the Senate chamber with the rest of the mob and then driven down stairs.

This video is a prime example of evidence this was no insurrection. Someone yelling freedom in the capitol of the United States which is supposed to be founded in freedom is somehow a terrible thing?

And did you hear all the people telling the officers thank you and blessing them? They obeyed the officers and left. This is pure evidence this was no insurrection.

 

[rjs330]

Why do people protest? Is protesting now something bad? Is it now a terrible thing to protest? Are Americans not allowed to protest an election and demand that investigations be done to assure that the election was lawful? Is that somehow an evil thing now?

 

[rjs330]

I'm sorry, there is zero evidence (and some counter evidence) to suggest that Ray Epps had anything to do with the FBI, that is one of those Right Wing talking points that people have latched onto to justify what happened at the Capitol. And before you bring up that the FBI refused to comment on whether he was a "plant" is because that is FBI policy -- the Republican Congresspeople asked the question knowing that is how the FBI had to answer, and they could spin that answer into "see, they won't comment because he was."

Of course, this is exactly why the FBI won't comment on these types of things, because if they deny every time, except when someone is a "plant," then you very quickly can learn who is a plant. So, answering that they won't comment means absolutely nothing. The "evidence" we have on Ray Epps is his own testimony, under oath, that he was not an FBI informant (or "plant").

Last, as for why he hasn't been charged, what law did he break? Are you saying that he should be arrested based on things he said (speech)?

I agree, I would really like to see the evidence of that. So far no one has been able to provide any.

 

[rjs330]

45 Seconds of Chansley walking around before entering the Senate chamber and 20 seconds of him inside it is hardly "all of it".

That's a fair point. We haven't seen all of it. I would like to. Wouldn't you? To clarify though I didn't mean he showed all 44,000 hours. What I meant was that he was showing us not just the violent parts, but the more peaceful parts as well. It should be enough to get all reasonable people to at least sit up and take notice. That there is more to this story than we are being told. I for one would like to see the rest. Wouldn't you?

But he did show scenes that we've never seen before. Peaceful orderly scenes.

 

[rjs330]

He was not escorted. The prayer thing becoming the latest parroted talking point is just embarrassing.

You keep misusing that word.

When are you guys going to realize your efforts at gaslighting aren't going to work? The video of the folks walking through Statuary Hall is available on numerous websites and has been since January 6th. There's nothing new about video showing people doing things other than attacking CHP or breaking into the Capitol. Some were merely followers caught up in the moment. WE ALL ALREADY KNEW THAT. It's not a revelation.

It also doesn't change the fact that hundreds of people conducted themselves in a violent or destructive manner that day. They are the ones who committed the crimes and they are the ones upon which we focus.

I don't think you know what gaslighting means.

Because not one of us is denying the riots occurred. We've seen the videos too.

We are saying that the other videos haven't been shown and what we are seeing is NOT an insurrection. That's it. We are not saying nobody did anything wrong or the entire thing was a walk in the park. But it it was obviously not an insurrection.

She was shot while violently trying to break through a window and murder elected officials.

You know we don't agree on a lot of things. But in this we do. When someone is part of a group violently trying to break into something the police are okay to shoot. It was NOT in cold blood. It was a choice he made because he believed he and others were in danger.

Okay, thanks for the information. I'd say that was quite a few. There should have been NO ONE being violent. I take back what I said about a few. It was more than a few.

It still wasn't an insurrection though.

 

[GreatLakes4Ever]

Why do people protest? Is protesting now something bad? Is it now a terrible thing to protest? Are Americans not allowed to protest an election and demand that investigations be done to assure that the election was lawful? Is that somehow an evil thing now?

At the Ellipse, on the Mall, sure have your protest. They enter Capital, that’s trespassing, that’s breaking the law. That’s trying to stop Congress from lawfully carrying out their Constitutional duty in certifying the election. There were two months for investigations. 60 failed lawsuits because while the Right talked tough in the media about all of the evidence they had, when it was tell the truth or go to jail, they didn’t put anything up. It was over there was nothing that could be done. Biden was going to be President, so why did they trespass into the Capital? What were they thinking they were going to accomplish?

Good for you. You don't speak for those who fall for Tucker Carlson's talking points.

As for the videos, again, why did speaker only release them to Carlson?
