The DOJ today responded to Tucker Carlson’s report last Monday on the Q-Anon Shaman Jacob Chansley being escorted by Capitol Police through the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Chansley committed no violence. He said a prayer in the Senate chamber thanking the police for their service. He asked for permission to enter the US Capitol shortly after he entered the building.
Chansley pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding – a new charge that is only used on Trump supporters
.... Snip....
ABC News reported:
The Justice Department in a new filing put forward its most direct response yet to footage aired last week by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that sought to downplay the actions of the self-described “QAnon Shaman,” who was convicted and sentenced to prison for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6.
In a response to a filing from a defendant charged with seditious conspiracy alongside other members of the Proud Boys currently on trial — who has sought to have his case dismissed in part over the newly-aired footage — prosecutors argued the roughly four minutes aired by Carlson of Jacob Chansley’s movements “lacks the context” of what Chansley actually did during the roughly hour-long period he was inside the building.
They revealed the video aired by Carlson was captured on internal CCTV cameras “only from approximately 2:56 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.,” after Chansley had already breached a police line with the mob and “faced off with members of the U.S. Capitol Police for more than thirty minutes in front of the Senate Chamber doors while elected officials, including the Vice President of the United States, were fleeing from the chamber.”
Let’s hope FOX News brass allow Tucker Carlson to refute the latest lies by the DOJ and fake news.

So release all the “context.”
We dare you.
Should they have added audio of screams and fighting like the J6 committee did?
.
And nuance (?)
They mean it lacks THEIR context.
The DOJ says the footage lacks context. That would imply they have evidence that adds additional context. I say let the whole lot of evidence be presented (it’s not like this is complicated, the guy was wearing a furry buffalo horn hat and body paint, he kind of sticks out from the crowd). If they have footage of the guy’s entire time spent in the capital building (99% guaranteed they have every single moment covered, often with more than one camera, and he’s stupidly easy to locate). That should be enough context.
OH. MY. SIDES!!! That's the best they could do?! ROFLMAO!!
Yes, Americans are simply too dumb to be able to see and understand things in front of our eyes. We need proper context brought to you by big mommy government.
Criminal government.
The context is the US. Constitution.
Here's an idea DOJ.
Release the damn full context.
The last refuge of a scoundrel is wrapping himself in “context.”
Japan says film of Pearl Harbor lacks context.
I liked that Tucker was a Putin Lackey and working for the Kremlin.
Almost as bad as “lacks standing”.
keep the footage...release the damn prisoners already and jail the real criminals! Can’t put it any clearer than that, and you all know I’m right. Our fellow citizens have been persecuted for over two years. The farce is sickening.
Tucker is MIA on January 6 after Schumer censored him.
Which means he needs to sue his lawyer for malpractice. Doesn’t look like he was properly represented. Of course, it’s most likely his lawyer was working for the feddies.
Two years of cherry picked clips from the J6 unSelect committee isn’t context enough for the five minutes of video Carlson aired?
DoJ criminals protest too much, methinks.
I’m sure context is needed when hoards of law enforcement escort unarmed horned crazy Qtard all over the place and call it an insurrection.
That’s it - we just need more context to understand the scam
McCarthy claims he will..
time will tell.
I say he should have done it weeks ago.
