Tucker Carlson sat down with a former Capitol Police officer who was ignored by the House Jan. 6 Select Committee despite the pivotal role he had that day.
Tarik Johnson, a 22-year veteran on the Capitol Hill force, was tasked with securing the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
"My voice is one of the first ones you hear on the audio transmission, so I did expect to get an interview sometime, but it didn't happen." Johnson told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" about the House Select Committee in an interview aired Tuesday. "I guess the focus was on Donald Trump."
Despite pleas for help on Jan. 6, Johnson said he did not hear anything, not even from Capitol Police chief assistant Yogananda Pittman, who allegedly kept vital information about the protests from him. The federal intel and law enforcement agencies knew about the warnings of a massive disturbance at the Capitol on Jan. 6, Carlson said, but the frontline officers on duty that day did not know.
**SNIP**
However, his career came to a screeching halt after he was spotted outside the Capitol wearing a Make America Great Again hat, which received national attention.
Johnson, a Biden voter, said a Trump supporter placed the MAGA hat on his head. He decided to keep wearing it for self-preservation as he navigated the pro-Trump crowd outside. Johnson was put on an indefinite suspension for doing so and later resigned and lost his pension.
"I couldn't say what would have happened walking through that crowd without it," Johnson said.
Yogananda Pittman went on to be elevated by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to be acting chief of Capitol Police. She later took a post as head of security at the University of California Berkeley, right outside of Pelosi's congressional district.

Bttt
” why is the release of these tapes suddenly so consequential in this environment?”
Perhaps because it’s the beginning of a multi-front, multi-stage rebuttal of the Jan 6 committee’s findings.
Bump.
Bump.

Exactly. Think Pulse nightclub shooting. Even folks on FR refer to it as motivated by hatred of gays. The dude who shot this place up had no idea it was a gay bar. He asked the bouncer, ‘where are all of the women?’
The smear is remembered. As will 2 years of J6 lies on page 1 of the NYT, but the retraction on page 31B in the lower left hand corner is never seen.
What Tucker is doing is important but sadly it is far too late.
His point was that these folks have been proven to be lying scumbags and disingenuous grifters over and over again so these tapes-even if released in their entirety , regardless of the content will not matter.
Anyone who pays attention to politics has seen the hysterical Schumer bemoaning stuff, Adam Schiff (or AG Garland..or Brennan, Clapper, Holder) outright lying to congress, Joe Biden sniffing countless childrens hair, AOC cackling about racism, etc
Politics are so polarizing right now that folks are choosing willful ignorance and outright dishonesty over admitting they were wrong or misled.
The facts were out there but most media don’t cover it or talk about it. They push what they want and show what they want.
Contacting my Florida delegation this week. Any member who continues to support and or vote for Mitch McConnell to any kind of leadership position loses my support, my donations and my vote.
Now do Russia. Is that where you’re posting from?

Exactly.
“Forest through the trees” is rather apropos...
Dont doubt that Paul Ryan on the Fox board is overseeing all the stuff you point out and has a hand in editing what Carlson will say, knowing a lot of this minus the right to see all the footage by defendants , is a you point out not new news...
TWO MAJOR ELECTORAL ALTERING MOTIONS WERE ABOUT TO BE FLOORED. This crisis was developed just in time with a precise coordination to prevent those two motions to be entered into the chamber record. The two motions do not exist. The emergency powers established in the new session made sure they never could be entered. The emergency powers could never happen without a crisis…
Great summary of what the real focus should be on...... and more reason to see Pence as the ultimate insider and not worthy of being President
“Having reviewed the material to this extent, I ask what is so consequential?”
While what you’re saying is true the consequential part is that few people actually know that. The news media certainly did not advertise that no one other than Trump supporters were killed. They have shouted that Jan 6th was greater than 9/11 for years. That it was the most violet riot in history.
While conservative news junkies knew better, the American public did not. This exposure is consequential because it gives a louder voice against the lie.
However, Tucker is still hiding a lot of the damaging footage. FBI Agents and crowd infiltrators encouraged people to break down the fences and go into the capital.
Politics are so polarizing right now that folks are choosing willful ignorance and outright dishonesty over admitting they were wrong or misled.
Bingo. throw in they will elect Dems even with Inflation, gas, grocery prices, drugs, illegal immigration etc.
Just like a turtle under attack, retreat into your shell and hope the danger will pass.
This is not the type of country many died for to protect Freedom...
The corrupt media and pols are in circle the wagons mode trying to say, like Schumer did, that Tucker is propaganda. That is just so very rich. Classic, accuse others of what you are guilty of.
The answer is a simple one. Because they are contradictory to the fabricated narrative created by the deep state and propagated by the media. That narrative was Trump organized a militia of MAGA nationals who mission was to overturn the election results.
A narrative so absurd that only a liberal democrat could buy into.

I saw the Tucker show....Tarik Johnson said he lost his Federale pension after 22 years at the Capitol Police. How does that ever happen? Is this true?
