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.

This gets too close to discussion of the election theft, which Fox has always deemed verboten.
Finger pointing is just human nature to an extent.
Some are more agreeable than others.
AMEN.
And, file “reparation” lawsuits!
So regarding the January 6th committee, we are to believe that they only saw video which supported their conclusions that January 6th was an attempt to overthrow the government, Trump was instigating rioting and all of that?
I am still confused about the liberal reaction to all of this.
The January 6th committee showed a lot of video which led them to draw certain conclusions and led to commentary in the media.
Tucker Carlson has shown a lot of video which has led to comment in the media and leading to certain conclusions being drawn.
Why is it okay for the January 6th committee to show us a video and draw conclusions and comment on the situation, but not okay for Tucker Carlson to show video and provoke commentary and draw conclusions on the situation?
Bingo.
“Did he really just throw the J6 Committee staffers under the bus?!”
Not really. Staffers do what the committee members want. The committee members delegated the assignment to staffers. The staffers did not necessarily have to be told much. They hired those staffers because they share the same beliefs. If they wanted to see the videos they could have seen them. It was just unnecessary work.
Tucker had the Shaman’s attorney on last night. He didn’t say what action he would take, but I’ll bet anything that the lawsuits will be cranked out in due course…
As they should be.
Tucker did not say anything last night about what will be on tonight. In other words, he wasn’t hyping J6 footage and didn’t have any last night or Tuesday night. I think Murdoch buried it.
Yep, every single person being held in any way needs to be immediately released and political heads need to roll. We have plenty of space in GITMO.
Only one of these critters deserves sympathy!
I think in this case the whole phrase would be more appropriate.
“For ‘tis the sport to have the enginer(sic)
Hoist with his own petard;”

As crazy as it seems.. they are going to have to backpedal the backpedaller’s statement that they never saw the incriminating evidence. Otherwise, people might start wondering how it is they put people in jail for long sentences based on no evidence?
After Dementiajoe, Kamalamadingdong, and Flatlinefetterman were “elected,” the J6 Committee Chairman is now wanting the American public to believe the Committee members are simply braindead, rather than being totally corrupt, lying traitors.
So, the video he showed last night of Capitol police walking around with Shaman man was not from J6????
AMEN!!
“The right can’t let them get away with their bs.”
The ‘right’ will certainly let them get away with this if the truth helps boost Trump. As we see McConnel, Ryan, and others jumping on top of the dumpster fire, it is all or nothing, and they expect to win.
I thought the videos were top secret and shouldn’t be seen by anyone, yet, the producer from ABC/Disney and their staff not only saw the raw footage but orchestrated the program of used footage by the committee.
Of, course, the J6 Committee can say, and, maybe they didn’t see the video footage, but didn’t they LIVE the actual event. What did their own lying eyes actually see? If they saw violence, they would say it.
To quote Maxine Waters:
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere."
I would not want to be on the security detail for any of those people.

What a f'in liar. and then thomspson wil wonder why nobody trusts or believes the 'government'. or maybe he doesn't care. "I'm black and a politician, a committee chairman. You can't touch this"
