"Are you the ones who lied about our friends?"
The Media: "Yeah, and we enjoyed it."

One of the major wins of the McCarthy drama that gripped Congress last week was a pledge from the new Speaker to release all of the January 6 riot footage.
Via Newsweek:
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, McCarthy said he intends to make public the thousands of hours of footage from the insurrection—something Republicans have long called for, as part of attempts to exonerate both lawmakers and civilians accused of wrongdoing in connection to the riots.
McCarthy said that he would consider releasing all the footage as the “public should see what happened” that day, rather than rely on the report from the House Select Committee which investigated the attack.
What possible rationale could there be, two-plus years later, for the government to continue to hide from the public the publicly-funded surveillance footage documenting the “greatest attack on democracy since the Civil War,” as Democrats have branded it, in the people’s house?
Are we citizens or serfs?
Leave it to former Bush White House communications director and current MSNBC hack Nicole Wallace to bring on a former Democrat rep, Elaine Luria, to explain the pitfalls of McCarthy’s “dangerous” “deal with the devil”:
If you release all of the security tapes at the Capitol… every bit of information that would lay out a road map for someone who wants to come try to do something like this again, that is really dangerous for the future security of the Capitol… A large portion of the tapes have been released in different contexts.
The government has already selectively released everything it would like the public to know. Yet the vast majority of the more than 14,000 hours of footage from that day remains obscured from public scrutiny.

Elaine Luria was on this “committee”, yes?
And Nicole WallAss is a well-known truth-denier.
So, why, again, shouldn’t the footage be released?
If/when the video is released, I’m sure there will be a very rapid crowd-sourced review immediately underway.

A large portion of 14,000 hours?! Yeah, right.
And the only context of release has been to assist the government's heavy-handed prosecutions, without benefit of releasing exculpatory evidence. That's my suspicion, anyway.
"Are you the ones who lied about our friends?"
The Media: "Yeah, and we enjoyed it."
I agree the videos will be sifted through very quickly. The relevant portions will start to circulate almost immediately after their release.
So what is the release date? And what’s the hold up?
Will they show the murder of Ashli babbitt?
After the Trump speech, most sort of gravitated up to the Capital area. Once there, there were folks with bullhorns urging everybody to move forward. All the barricades were removed. A bunch of people were waved into the building like they were tourists, where most of them looked around and left. Many of those were the unlucky ones as many of them ended up getting arrested later in SWAT team raids.
The rest of us (me included) just sort of milled around outdoors, gazing at the whole spectacle. Helicopters were all around us filming. I wasn't sure what was happening inside as none of us could get a cell signal. We stood there for an hour or two and started heading home once tear gas started getting fired into the crowds in front of us.
It was not until I was on the Washington Metro headed back to my car in Alexandria that I even heard about the shooting of Ashley Babbit and that what we did was considered an "insurrection."
Insurrection? I laughed about that. We just wanted to have our voices heard, just like the BLM and Antifa folk got their voices heard. Only we were way less violent and destructive.
Can't wait to start looking through theses videos.
it is dangerous- to the left wing/RINO narrative
The truth is always dangerous to the Democrat narrative. Simple as that.
A bunch of people were waved into the building like they were tourists, where most of them looked around and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s exactly the kind of stuff that’s going to come out, and it’s going to put a big dent in the Democrats’ absurd “insurrection” lie.
What’s the hold up? Release the video footage already.
Their argument is ludicrous. The security footage is from stationary cameras in different locations. It is not like footage you would get by following a tour guide through the Capitol.
The vast majority of people there were the kind of nice patriots you meet at every Trump rally. But we were getting urged to "move forward" until we were on Capitol grounds. I witnessed no violence whatsoever except many were pissed off about the fraudulent election and let it be known with their signs and their chants. But it was 100% peaceful.
It was absolutely a setup to make Trump supporters look bad. Much like how Hitler staged the Reichstag Fire in 1933 to discredit his opposition and obtain absolute power.
The US Capitol website offers not one but two different maps for download, you dumb bitch.
You had 4 years to make a bill to remove those maps or require verified email and a password, but you spent them eating, it looks like.
The only interesting thing here is that Hock-keem sent a yenta to kvetch about something neither of them can stop. She's a schnorrerette lofl. Just wanted to get on tv so the grandchildren can wave at Bubbe!
“Dangerous”... to the narrative.
Must have made a huge danger for us all when HBO made a movie
What’s the danger. Are we going to see what actually happened. Who is it a danger to. Not like the media is actually going to report it on the morning or nightly news..
“MSNBC: Releasing January 6 Capitol Footage Is ‘Dangerous’”
MSNBC: Releasing January 6 Capitol Footage Is ‘Dangerous’ to our reputation as an independent news station
There, fixed it
