The government used a little trick to prevent video from being formally entered into the judicial record. Federal judges played along.
At least one federal judge handling several Capitol protest criminal cases is paying attention to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s show trial about the events of January 6.
Judge Thomas Hogan, 83, who has served on the D.C. District Court for nearly 40 years, referred to public testimony given last week by four law enforcement officers while he scolded a husband and wife over their involvement in the protest.
“[H]e begins by talking about the violence, and makes clear he listened to the police officers who testified before Congress last week about their experience, and notes the recent suicide of [a Metropolitan Police Department] officer,” Zoe Tillman, a reporter for BuzzFeed, live-tweeted during the couple’s sentencing hearing on Wednesday.
Set aside for a moment how the inflammatory and unsubstantiated accounts by those officers will taint an already highly biased jury pool in Washington, D.C. when trials begin next year; it’s clear the January 6 select committee already is influencing court proceedings. Judge Hogan, and presumably others, will take witness testimony at face value and use it as proof that Capitol defendants, even the nonviolent ones, contributed to “violence” that day.
Which is why, as we have argued repeatedly at American Greatness, the government and U.S. Capitol Police should agree to release more than 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured by security cameras on January 6. If the four-hour melee indeed compares to the worst terrorist attacks against Americans, and ranks among the worst days in U.S. history, the public deserves to see what happened, minute-by-minute, inside and outside the building.

This is a show trial and the deep state communist actors have to show their faces to do this. There should be a real trial to prosecute those who tried to overthrow or persecute Trump for a total of over 5 years now.
Is that phony Jan 6th review still going on? The first time I saw Officer Fanone, I thought I was seeing Hunter Biden. The resemblance is striking.
Uh, because it will reveal...
Trying to figure out how they have 14,000 hours video for one day event. 24 hours in one day. Is it video from days before, day of and after?
A thousand cams, 14 hours each?

this whole episode ranks right there with the Hitler assassination attempt show trials, complete with the same judicial biases.
This is the current democrat obsession. They plan to throw as many of those Trump supporters in jail as possible. They will not receive any justice.
Notice how the dems and the media handle the 20th anniversary of the muslim terrorist attack on NY and Washington. It will be total silence, because they don’t want to annoy their true love, the muzzies.
That’s because they are using the same Handbook.
Fanone likes ‘em younger...
We have no justice system in this country from the lowliest judge to the Supreme Court. Seems the majority of judges are not judges but simply politicians in black robes basing their rulings not on the law but their political philosophy.
But it WILL piss them off, and, after release, they'll make enough noise to awaken thousands of sleeping dragons!
