When You've Lost the Daily Mail...
[Daily Mail] Over the course of two years, hundreds of witness interviews, and 10 highly choreographed public hearings, Democrats in Congress sought to create a carefully constructed story of the January 6th Capitol Hill riots.

How fitting that such an extravagant outlay of government resources would be thrown on the trash heap by a single cable news segment.

On Monday night, Fox News' Tucker Carlson played never-before-seen footage of the Capitol riot. The closed-circuit security tape appears to show the notorious, so-called QAnon Shaman (a.k.a. Jacob Chansley) being led through the halls of Congress by police.

The video has no audio, so we can't hear what the police told Chansley. But we can see with our own eyes - Chansley didn't overpower anyone.

In fact, it looks like Capitol Police willingly guided him, shirtless and adorned in horns, into the Senate chamber for his infamous photo-op.

So, for all the effort and expense poured into the January 6th committee, why is America only seeing this footage now?

The answer is obvious. It didn't fit the Democrats' narrative, so it was left out.
We will all be shocked, of course, when the Dems win the next election with the widest margin ever /sarc

#1 They have a backing bell on with regard to Covid origins and such. There is no room to back up on J6 due to the people in pre-trial confinement.

#2 Chansley plead guilty to 'obstructing an official proceeding'

the new video tape evidence is not exculpatory to that charge

however, the new video, showing him mostly complying with instructions of capital police, may be exculpatory to his 41 month sentence - I don't know how that works in D.C.

#3 And how long was he in the J7 Gulag, in solitary confinement before he gave up and pleaded guilty?

His defense attorney was never given access to these video - so I imagine he accepted a plea deal based on 'plead guilty to this lesser charge, and get the mental help you need --OR-- back to solitary confinement until we try you in a few years'.

#4 It is Brady material. The government could not legally not provide the video to the defense.
