Tucker gets 41,000 Hours of J6 Footage From Speaker McCarthy (with a small sample)
[Townhall] "I think the American public should actually see all what happened instead of a report that’s written for a political basis," McCarthy said while adding he wanted to "be very thoughtful" about releasing the footage.

Well, now it's happening. And despite initial reports at the time saying that there were 14,000 hours of footage from cameras around the Capitol complex set to be released, it turns out there's more — much more — and Speaker McCarthy is giving it exclusively to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Axios scooped the news Monday morning, reporting that "Carlson TV producers were on Capitol Hill last week to begin digging through the trove, which includes multiple camera angles from all over Capitol grounds" and an expectation that "[e]xcerpts will begin airing in the coming weeks."

#1 Hopefully the truth will soon be coming out and these D.C. 6 Jan prosecutions will be put to a stop.

#3 Wire - January 6 Panel Chairman Issues Warning Over Tucker Carlson Getting Tapes

The chairman of the n0w-defunct January 6 Committee warned of the “potential security risks” of U.S. Capitol security footage being released to the media.

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.

#5 Why else did the kangaroo court aka committee move to seal all records (remember Pfizer)?

Why so adamant in not releasing video footage?

They are so 'in your face' about it.

#11 Suppose that after the DNC-MSM scream their heads off about Tucker getting access, the whole 40,000+ hours goes onto publicly accessible video servers. Let the games begin.

#13 Whenever people like Bennie Thompson squeal about "potential security risks" it's a good bet they're really concerned about their own security when they go to jail.
