America has gotten a taste of what happens when the far left democrat party controls everything: censorship of everything, weaponization of the FBI and DOJ to punish and suppress opponents and more. Regaining the House is probably the only thing that kept this country from collapsing into a totalitarian state.
Tucker Carlson obtaining the videos from Jan 6 is incredibly important. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and America overwhelmingly wants the videos released. It is the fascist democrat party (and some assorted idiot Republicans) who are afire with outrage about their contents becoming public.
Carlson lit the fuse to a bomb when he broadcast the video capturing the actions of one Jacob Chansley. Chansley is a Navy vet who was diagnosed with a mental issue in 2006. Because of his flamboyant costume democrats seized on Chansley to make him the face of the riot and set out to make an example of him. They basically prosecuted him for all of the crimes committed on that day. The left fabricated a name for him- the "QAnon Shaman." He's been smeared incessantly by them. Chansley was charged with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds."
That right there is a lie. There isn't a shred of evidence that Chansley was ever violent. Chansley entered the building after the doors were already open. Curiously, one inside Chansley was not stopped by a single one of the nine armed cops he encountered. In fact, he was escorted around the building by two of the cops. They can even be seen attempting to open a door for Chansley.

The bottom line is that he was convicted and handed a lengthy sentence for his costume. Jonathan Turley:
Yet many of us were surprised Chansley was given a 41-month sentence for “obstructing a federal proceeding.” The sentence exceeded those handed down for violent offenses. Indeed, an Antifa member who took an axe to a member’s office in Fargo, ND, was later given probation … and his axe back.When Price calls that video "never before seen", he's not kidding. The video was not made available to anyone- not even to Chanley's lawyer Albert Watkins. That's called withholding Brady material.
Brady material, or the evidence the prosecutor is required to disclose under this rule, includes any information favorable to the accused which may reduce a defendant's potential sentence, go against the credibility of an unfavorable witness, or otherwise allow a jury to infer against the defendant's guilt.Watkins:
"And through each of those three hearings that government assistant U.S. attorney knew the most important aspect of that hearing was that Jake was not violent. The government knew," he continued. "They knew that Jake had walked around with all of these police officers. They had that video footage I didn't get. It wasn't disclosed to me. It wasn't provided to me."Chansley's Constitutional rights were violated. Bigly.The attorney called Chansley's prison sentence a "tragedy" and a "dagger at the heart of our American justice system."
"This is about our justice system being so compromised, the very integrity and core of that, which we wore as a badge of honor for the entirety of our nation's history, has been rendered a vile, disgusting mess by a Department of Justice that was running amok," Watkins said. "And they didn't share the video of my client, the footage from my client with nine officers surrounding him peacefully, wandering about, trying to help them, trying to get him access to the Senate chamber. They didn't because it didn't fit their narrative."
When one stirs trash heaps, rats are often seen to scurry about and flee but not before giving one a hateful glare. Such is happening right now. Comments made by the head of the Jan 6 Committee Bennie Thompson raise very serious questions. Questions like- did the Committee actually do any work at all?

“Regaining the House is probably the only thing that kept this country from collapsing into a totalitarian state.”
Which it WILL collapse into if nothing is done about election integrity. Election integrity HAS to be the #1 focus or we can kiss everything goodbye. I don’t care who runs, Trump, DeSantis, Nikki Haley, it will all be for nothing if election integrity continues to be ignored like this, these domestic enemies will steal another POTUS election.
“That’s called withholding Brady evidence”
That’s probably why all the Dems are saying “We never saw any video! Our staff did!”
“FREE JACOB CHANSLEY”
This has occurred throughout history, but most recently in Nazi Germany and the USSR.
Yes, they are saying they never saw the video Tucker has.
Does anyone really believe that e,explanation?
The most amusing part is that Tuckers people did not have to sort through thousands of hours of video, whomever looked at it previously left it bookmarked, so Tucker knew exactly what they had been viewing.
I can believe the J6 panel withheld it from most in Congress. If they’re that detached, they need to go.
All we've seen are some clips of Q-Shaman mot doing anything wrong... on the very first night. Then blackout.
That's it. Nothing else newsworthy from the 40k hours?
Not surprised. Fox News has become a center of yellow journalism, run by swamp scum.
That footage now belongs to American and the Jan 6 prisoners. Not Tucker and the Swamp scum.
DrJohn needs to learn the difference between a "democrat" and a "Democrat".
“Detached”?
More like DESPOTIC and downright evil!
They are trying the “AOC Defense” — “our staff did it.”
What a bunch of hogwash.
The professor is correct. There is absolutely no question in my mind the left in this country has genocide in store for their enemies. Whether it is 5 years, 59, or 100, that is the trajectory they are on.
Seems a little like Hitler saying, “I didn’t kill a single Jew. It was all corporals in the SS. Those are the bad guys. I’m innocent.”
Never underestimate the power of denial.
As I read somewhere recently when you go against reality, you are going to lose. It appears that the Left is in a battle against time (and reality) because reality is catching up with them.
I think that is spot on. Time is not on their side and they are going to have to cement their power before even more people wake up.
“America has gotten a taste of what happens when the far left democrat party controls everything: censorship of everything, weaponization of the FBI and DOJ to punish and suppress opponents and more.”
Give democrats control over government offices and they promptly abuse their responsibilities to persecute their political opponents. Recall Obama and the irs, the illegal spying on the Trump campaign, etc.
