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

It would be interesting if Trump refused to go to New York and DeSantis refused to extradite him.

If by interesting you mean constitutional crisis, then sure.

It would put DeSantis in a no win situation

DeSantis, as the Governor of Florida, cannot block an extradition.

McCarthy calls Jan. 6 riot video a Tucker Carlson 'exclusive' and says public will have it 'soon'​

It's been 6 months. Any sign of it?

MTG was for releasing it, then she was against releasing it, and now she's back to for releasing it.

Not quite public, but...

I watched the newly-public security camera footage from January 6. I saw things I hadn't seen before — including eerie scenes of lawmakers fleeing for their safety on one of the darkest days in American history.​

When Republicans retook the chamber, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson exclusive access to the footage — resulting in the broadcast of a distorted narrative of the day's events that angered even fellow Republicans.

But now, the Committee on House Administration has opened up access to the footage more broadly, allowing reporters, certain non-profit groups, January 6 defendants, and those who were injured during the riot to view the footage.

I decided to take them up on it. Here's how it went, and what I saw.
