Did Speaker McCarthy Just Pull a Huge ‘BAIT AND SWITCH?’ Tucker Carlson and Staff Are NOT Allowed To Record or Remove J6 Surveillance Footage From US Capitol
Gateway Pundit ^ | Feb. 28, 2023 3:00 pm | By Patty McMurray

On February 20, 100 Percent Fed Up reported about the newly elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s decision to release all of the 44,000 hours of footage from January 6, 2021, to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, giving him exclusive access to Capitol surveillance footage.

“I’ve watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized [Jan. 6],” said McCarthy. “Where for the first time in the history as a speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee.”

“We watched the politicization of this,” McCarthy said. “I think the American public should actually see all that happened instead of a report that’s written for a political basis.”

Carlson, who has continuously called for a probe into the actual events of Jan 6., has been granted exclusive access to 41,000 hours of surveillance footage from the Capitol protests.

“[T]here was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret,” Carlson told Axios reporter Mike Allen. “If there was ever a question that’s in the public’s interest to know, it’s what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It’s impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that.”

In January, Carlson slammed the U.S. government for hiding information from the American public. He also pointed out the ridiculous logic of those who warn that releasing the Jan. 6 Capitol footage could threaten national security.

100 Percent FedUp reports- If you’re like most Americans, you were overjoyed to hear that Tucker Carlson, who is not afraid of exposing government corruption in either party, would be allowed to view all 44,000 hours of the Capitol surveillance tapes and were hoping that finally, we would be allowed to discover what really happened on that day.

The majority of Americans never trusted the partisan, Trump-hating Jan 6 Witch Hunt Committee to give an accurate picture of what happened on January 6th at our nation’s Capitol. Those who want the truth exposed have been waiting patiently for Tucker to begin showing surveillance footage on his show, believing he would, once and for all, destroy the Left’s narrative that the so-called “insurrection” was pre-planned by Trump and his supporters.

We’re now learning that Tucker Carlson’s staff will NOT be allowed to freely record footage from January 6, but may request particular clips and that his staffers are not allowed to record or remove any videos from a specific screening area. CBS News -Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s staff was permitted to view but not record portions of some 41,000 hours of police videos documenting the events of Jan. 6, 2021, with the opportunity to request copies of some of the clips under an agreement reached with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s office, according to the high-ranking Republican member of the committee that oversees the U.S. Capitol Police.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, who chairs a subcommittee of the House Committee on Administration, told CBS News that a screening station was set up for the Fox News team to view videos from the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The staffers were not allowed to record or remove any of the videos from the screening area, he said.

The Fox News team “may request any particular clips they may need, then we’ll make sure there’s nothing sensitive, nothing classified, including escape routes,” Loudermilk said. “We don’t want al Qaeda to know certain things.”

Loudermilk said the clips requested by Fox News and cleared for release by his committee would eventually be made public and available to other media outlets, many of which have demanded equal access to the footage. Loudermilk said the timeframe for the release to Fox and the public remains unclear: “Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I think we’re talking about weeks to months.”

Mike Lindell is outraged that Speaker McCarthy is only giving the Jan 6 footage to Tucker Carlson. Mr. Lindell told Steve Bannon last week that he would sue McCarthy to get the 44,000 hours of Jan 6 footage, saying he is violating their right to Freedom of the Press and will take it to the Supreme Court if necessary.

If January 6 was actually a set-up by Democrats and members of the intelligence agencies to destroy the wildly popular President Trump’s chances of running again in 2024, why is Speaker McCarthy making it impossible for Tucker Carlson to show the world the truth?

Laura Loomer right again. She’s been posting for weeks on Telegram, Truth and Twitter that McCarthy’s been lying about releasing the footage.

So it’s not released. Even Schumer didn’t know that when he said it threatens his security. So Tucker’s editors will need to mark the portions they want and after review McCarthy will release copies for his documentary.

O.K., I guess it will take quite some time then to actually put this all together for his show.

It could really take months if not years to actually see anything of any importance. That gives the Media-Dem Party time to once again seize power through fraud and shut down any release of a video that they don’t want anyone to see.

How nice of McCarthy and his crowd to be so cooperative with the Media-Dem Party and their Deep State allies.

“Oh, by the way, you can use this single 2004 PC with 512 kB RAM running Windows 3.0 to review the video.”

Versus hours or days if the footage was released to its owners, the public, and the public were allowed to dissect it efficiently, as only the public can do.

They don't want us to know about the "secret tunnels" that everyone knows about.

Let’s say it builds up in time for November ‘24. Rand Paul accepts the vp nomination under the condition ALL FBI files on EVERY American are released.

We’ll see it all, a bit later perhaps. I’m OK with this procedure, Tucker, etc.

There indeed may be a few sensitive, security related scenes that are best not made public.

I’ll trust the Freedom Caucus. If they’re happy, I’m happy.

No.

They don’t want us to figure out j6 wasn’t what they say it was.

We already know that. The proof is on the recordings

Corporate Media, like Faux, will never allow the truth to come out.
