Well well well, isn’t this convenient? Now that Tucker Carlson has released more of the January 6th footage that disproves many of the lame, hateful narratives from the Left (and sadly, two nasty RINOs who are now both officially out of a job) it would appear the committee chairman, Bennie Thompson, is claiming they never had access to the footage.
No. Really.
They just had a bunch of staff go through it.
Can’t even make this crap up.
Thompson said he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage — they let only staff view it. "I'm actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video."

Did he really just throw the J6 Committee staffers under the bus?!
Because it suuure looks like it.
Chair of the January 6 committee says members never had access to J6 video? That they hired people–the ABC showrunner and his team–to handle it? Meaning the J6 lawmakers were really just the presenters? https://t.co/l9WDiz3yaf

Wow.
It must be REALLY bad for Thompson to feign ignorance …
Either he’s lying or they really did a disservice to these hearings, the American people, and this country.
Of course not. What is the point of a show trial if you have to consider the evidence?

To be fair, the committee was put in place to produce a pre-ordered outcome. They didn't need to be exposed to any evidence to roll out the playbook guilty verdict. It's politics, not justice.

Kind of went through the video? A bunch of partisan staffers picked what they wanted. Wow

Exactly.
Don’t forget the ABC producer, he did his part too.
Unreal.
No, you know what? It’s not unreal. It’s too damn REAL for the state of politics today.
So what, this is supposed to be plausible deniability? “My staff never told me…how was I to know?!?!” This is really disgusting and pathetic.

“Kind of went through it”
Three J6 defendants have died.
History will not think on him kindly.

Did you let Rep. @BennieGThompson know that he was the chairman of that committee? I get he's up in years, but if he is that forgetful it is probably time to step aside for the next generation.

It was all cherry picked just like you guys accused Tucker of, so maybe with his cherry picking and your cherry picking we'll see it all

That could work.
I've been saying for years that these DC "staffers" are the ones running Washington. Who are these lifers who wield such power & influence that they control the information presented to lawmakers?
— PattiO (@soylentbeige) March 9, 2023
Sounds like they are starting to distance themselves from that debacle
— JerseyJoeF. (@JoeF62) March 9, 2023
At least it sure looks like they want to.
Benny, Benny, Benny, “the dog ate my homework” might work better.

Ouch.

Where are the lawyers?
Who is helping these guys?
Good questions!
They All knew, better than anyone, that there was no “insurrection”. The plan, IMHO, was to allow them in and regardless of how they behaved - the story they ALL would stick to - was that a terrifying insurrection took place.
That is why Nancy ignored Trump’s offer of bringing in the National Guard.
They WANTED the crowd inside the Capitol. Roy Epps and Co. as well as the Capitol police made sure of it, although I don’t believe the Capitol police were in on it. They were pawns in the game, as much as were the demonstrators.
prayers for strength.
So they reached a bunch of conclusions based on evidence they had not even seen?
So even if Tucker Carlson is “lying” about the content of the footage, how exactly would they know if they had not seen it themselves?
corruption at the highest levels
Was the Weathermen comment from Barry about his pal Ayers?
What? In terms of destroyed lives and damage to legal process?
Incalculable, already with what little has seen the light of day!
Yup. He was just a guy he knew.
McConnell knows damn well they are innocent but wants to sacrifice them at the alter of hate Trump.
I agree. It’s a disaster. So sad.
lol — that’s pretty good
That turtle looks like it has 2 front left legs in that meme.
Unless we go absolute bonkers and riot, there will be no repercussions.
The minority has been terrorizing the silent majority for decades. They should have been nipped in the bud in the 60’s.
Whoa! Great comment about ABC/Disney staff seeing Jan 6 footage first. Why didn’t all the politicians scream about that?
Committee members or committee staff?
I don’t understand how legally J6 prisoners could be held in solitary confinement and not allowed visitors. Aren’t the Defund the Police people marching against that, and demanding the prisoners be treated more humanely?
Boy, you’re polite.

Thompson lies like a rug and smells like one too. Less trustworthy than a dead, rotting rat.
