Tucker Carlson talks exclusively with key Capitol Police officer ignored by Jan. 6 panel amid footage release (Tarik Johnson)
Fox News ^ | 3/07/23 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

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.

In other words the key to the Pelosi narrative is to contrive a conspiracy of Donald Trump to fling a mob at the capital to subvert an election process but this simple visual record of Tucker Carlson's effectively rebuts that narrative.

Tucker's video reveals a bunch of rather overweight, middle-aged, curious but patriotic middle Americans bumbling their well-intentioned way through the nation's capital. Hardly the stuff of revolution.

Okay.

I am distracted by Tucker’s socks-less opera pumps. Why does he wear those?

"I couldn't say what would have happened walking through that crowd without it(MAGA hat)," Johnson said.

Seems to be the attitude of the DC cops. They think we're the bad guys.

but they are 26 months into their living hell already - legal bills - lives trashed. this is a national disgrace. the only way to rectify it is with a national apology and recognition of the scam perpetrated on the US by the Establishment protecting its turf. i’m nauseated by it.

Well, big media Rupert Murdoch, his boss, has stopped further showings of the J6 footage. In lockstep with his Globalist buddies outcries.

Agree on all your points. Everything tucker showed is already widely known among conservatives. Certainly,I did not see anything new on Tucker’s tapes.

What’s new is that the tapes are official tapes. Tucker carlson is giving them legitimacy and most importantly 40% of Tucker’s audience is democrat.

There is a bigger set up coming. That is the role of the fbi and related agencies in J6.

Tucker’s tapes are set up for wider congressional investigations of the role of the fbi in J6. That’s what has the dems really exercised.

imho they could get to the bottom of fbi involvment with some facial recognition software that matched people in the crowd to federal agency employee databases.

Thanks for posting the CT commentary. Preventing any challenge with standing from being put before the Supreme Court explains the reason for the whole J6 fiasco.

All the brouhaha following was just icing on the illegitimate cake for the Democrats.

*** Politics are so polarizing right now that folks are choosing willful ignorance and outright dishonesty over admitting they were wrong or misled.***

“CoVid is” could be substituted for “politics are”, and it would be just as accurate.

That’s been the way the news has handled the dissemination of information for as long as I’ve been alive, and I’m sure, long before I was born.

maybe Kevin McCarthy will make the tapes available more widely? I know some outlets were supposedly suing for access.
