41,000 hours of video would require more than 20 years to review if one watched video for 40 hours a week.  How many people are going to do that?

 

Release the tapes to all news services.  I doubt that the Democrats would have strong objections after this BS.  Why isn't Kevin McCarthy doing that?

So this is supposed to be keven McCarthys rebuttal to the j6 committee?just pathetic utterly pathetic this guys got to be the weakest speaker in history of the House of Representatives

What really happen on this day is that 840 people have been arrested for storming the US Capitol building on Jan 6 with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. 185 individuals have received criminal sentences. Shaman Chansley whom Tucker described as toured guided into the building is behind bar for 41 months. Mathew Greene far right member of the Proud Boys who was the first wave of the capitol attack faces 25 years in prison. The crem dela crem must surely be the Jack Smith's grand jury moving at light speed investigate the chief instigator of the attack Donald Trump with the subpoena of Mike Pence. Meanwhile Tucker Carlson will continue to lie and grift from his gullible Fox audience. 

How many of the 840 are still waiting to be proven guilty of something?

Well one buffon didnt think the way you do and even call for this buffoon to be given the Pulitzer. Í hope the family of Sicknick will file a defamation claim against the sleaze-slinging Carlson and Fox.

Good news. It's now at least 1,000 people arrested. They will be charged for the Jan 6 riot. More than half of those defendents have pleaded guilty to crimes. DOJ has sufficient evidence to lay charges on the other half. So stand by for more indictments and prison time news.

At least 1,003 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.

"Since supporters of then-President Donald Trump swarmed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 — forcing Congress to go into lockdown and damaging the halls of government — more than 1,000 people have been arrested and charged with crimes.

 

The FBI is still seeking the public's help to identify people who took part in one of the most documented crimes in US history.

 

But since most rioters were allowed to walk free that day, it's taking years to track them down."

I am sure the 4 Capitol police who were murdered or committed suicide right after Jan 6 was just a coincidence.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

The U.S.  Attorney's Office for DC just announced yesterday another felony guilty plea in the insurrection prosecutions, the latest one a California man who now will face sentencing....

 

Quite a story (from the fed's news release on the guilty plea):

 

"According to court documents, on Jan. 6, 2021, the defendant attended the “Stop the Steal” rally taking place in Washington, D.C. On December 31, 2020, the defendant purchased a “6 Ninja Tactical Combat Hunting Kunai Throwing Knife Set” and later posted on Facebook, “I just bought new kanai throwing knives and am going to do what my president asks” and “I’m going for the war.”

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

As of March 6, 2023:

 

"Arrests made: More than 999 defendants have been arrested in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia...

...

Approximately 518 individuals have pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges, many of whom faced or will face incarceration at sentencing.

 

Approximately 133 have pleaded guilty to felonies. Another 385 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors.

Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 footage sparks bipartisan outrage

Fox News host Tucker Carlson whipped up a firestorm Tuesday on Capitol Hill, sparking bipartisan backlash and igniting tensions with Capitol Police by downplaying the Jan. 6 Capitol riot on his prime-time program as “mostly peaceful chaos.”

Tucker claims "mostly peaceful chaos"???

 

Per the U.S. Attorney's Office for DC:

 

"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."

 

AND

 

"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."

 

AND

 

"A total of 60 of those who have pleaded guilty to felonies have pleaded to federal charges of assaulting law enforcement officers."

Really? All Americans have access to tons of material regarding the Big Lie but that doesn't matter when your mind is already made up.

Hence, even today there are millions of less-than-stellar-thinkers still believing in it.

'Bulls---': GOP senators rebuke Tucker Carlson for downplaying Jan. 6 as 'mostly peaceful'

 

"At a GOP leadership news conference, McConnell, R-Ky., said he wanted to align himself with the letter sent to the U.S. Capitol Police force by Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger, who denounced Carlson for spreading “offensive and misleading conclusions” about the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, including a “disturbing accusation” that Officer Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with the riot.

"I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief and the Capitol Police about what happened on Jan. 6," McConnell said as he held up a copy of the letter. "It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.”"

So you "know" what you "know" regardless of what the facts are. That means you confuse 'knowing' with 'believing', which means you have faith, not knowledge.

It's called plea bargaining ...

... how many will have a simple trespassing 'conviction' expunged after their probation period.

 

Here's a clue:

"Another 385 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors."

Yep, QAnon Shaman did a plea bargain and got himself 41 months in prison, the rest has already been posted so why ask me?

The FBI had information what was being planned.  It was all over social media.  As to why no special provisions for enhanced security were not in place remains a matter of speculation and conjecture.

News is news & verifiable.

 

Op-ed are opinions, and much of is passed off as news, with 'informed source', 'anonymous source' or no source, unverifiable, and contrary to other real sources or simply common sense.

 

Some people actually can tell the difference.

Exactly.  The coroner's report showed that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes.  It also implied that all the excitement the day prior may have played a part in his stroke.

Democrats speaking in opposites again. The whole footage shows the Q Shaman was politely escorted and guided through the capitol by police. Another false narrative about Q Anon shamen storming the capitol and leading an insurrection bites the dust. Time to arrest the Jan 6th committee and charge them with deliberately withholding evidence that proves the accused to be innocent. Lying is bad. Lying for 2 years and holding farcical show trials they knew were nonsense is a new low in the left's dishonesty - although totally unsurprising after they refused to release footage(nothing to hide, nothing to fear?) Sad so many were taken in by the insurrection narrative.

 

"Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” says Carlson, who was granted exclusive access by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from that day inside and around the Capitol, which has never been seen before by the public.

“The tapes show the Capitol police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”

The coroner didn't "imply" that the riot played a role. The coroner's report said so.

 

"The District of Columbia chief medical examiner found that Sicknick had died from stroke, classifying his death as natural^[a] and additionally commented that "all that transpired played a role in his condition."

 

Also:

 

"Brian Sicknick's death was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch, the USCP, and the FBI.^[7] On March 14, Julian Khater and George Tanios were arrested for assaulting Sicknick with a chemical spray and for other charges.^[11] ... On January 28, 2023, Khater was sentenced to seven years in prison.^{[1][13][14][15]}

Guessing this is the same US Capitol Police Chief that failed to provide adequate protection.
