Let the backpedaling BEGIN! J6 Committee Chair Thompson says they NEVER had access to J6 video

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?

— Dominar (@THATCH_ARISES) March 9, 2023

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

— Tiffany (@tiffanylloree) March 9, 2023

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.

Or make sure a humongous “wag the dog” takes this off the news cycle.

[zeestephen]

Because of my schedule, I have not been able to watch Tucker from beginning to end this week.

After all the hype and hoopla, I have seen almost no video that is new.

I saw about 15 seconds of the Q-Anon Shaman walking around with a bunch of polite and cooperative cops.

And, I saw about 10 seconds of new Officer Sicknick videos, that ostensibly prove he was never injured during the riot.

Is that all the new video Tucker has?

The Shaman and Sicknick video updates are important, but is that really all Tucker got from 40,000 hours of surveillance video?

[Pox]

Tucker didn’t do shit except one thing. He took what McCarthy sent him and presented it to the public.

As much as I despise saying this, the credit goes to McCarthy.

[rolling_stone]

The Shaman and Sicknick video updates are important, but is that really all Tucker got from 40,000 hours of surveillance video?...........

your guess is as good as anyone’s

[FreedomVsControl]

I wondered the same. I have heard that Tucker and his crew don’t actually have a copy of the footage, they were only allowed access to it one time?

In any case, they need to set up a website where the American public can see the video - all of it, whenever we want. It is our capitol, after all.

HUGE news in court filings for proud boys, FBI thought they had deleted HOWEVER legal team was able to forensically get it back emails SHOW the whole J6 was a complete set up by CIA, FBI!! Legal team turned document over to judge and the government is in complete meltdown in the court this morning!! They have STOPPED the court proceedings this AM and don’t know when court will begin again!! Proud boys legal team has RELEASED all documents to SEVERAL different sources SO there is NO WAY FBI can cover this up!!! FBI had infiltrated Proud Boys organization and were insisting that they STORM the capital documents SHOW Proud Boys wanted NO PART of storming the capital were fighting these FBI infiltraters all along!! The FBI agents WERE the VERY SAME agents that organized the Gretchen Whitmer FAKE kidnapping STAY TUNED!!

[Shady]

I agree, releasing the videos was key, even if it was to just Tucker. However one fact remains, they are now out there for everyone who wishes to find out more about what truly went on.

[Shady]

Welllll, Bust my Buttons!

[38special]

Tell me more

[Roccus]

You believe that ALL the videos of the events in and around the Capitol on that day have been released?

Interesting...

[chopperk]

The Committee just did not tell Benny they had them.

[jpp113]

So that right there is an admission that the "committee" did not do their job to the best of their ability. They can't weasel out that way. They are 100% responsible for the actions/inactions of their "staff". Reviewing evidence was the most important part of the fake committee's job. Legally, that makes their recommendations/suggestions/referrals on criminal charges to the DoJ ultra vires and invalid.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Julie Kelly is going to be on Charlie Kirks show in just a few minutes, I am going to listen for more details she is up on ALL details!!

[Roccus]

Where?

[zeestephen]

I hope you are right, Trump Girl.

We have not had much to smile about for the last 28 months.

[mass55th]

Benny Thompson’s dumber than a box of rocks, and a lying sack of shit. He had access to all of it. He chose not to view it, had his lackeys view them instead, then told them to prepare a damaging case against Trump, and the people who were in D.C. on Jan. 6th. He just read from a prepared script. Reminds me of Robert Mueller. Does anyone in D.C. ever actually work for the pay and benefits we pay them?

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

J6 committee members just step up to the mic and accuse MAGA demonstraters of whatever pops into their heads, while staffers "kind of went through the video."

Committee members have more important things to do, like spend money. What could go wrong?

[TornadoAlley3]

What is the total cost of this committee’s actions?

[lodi90]

McCarthy should have just released the video himself as an addendum to the J6 committee. He’s pawned this off onto Tucker and made him part of the story. That does not help our side.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

There must be a battle royale going on at Fox.

I think you're right. I think Carlson really enjoys putting the screws to people and he'd like to keep exposing this whole farce.

Will be interesting to see how this ends.

I'm not optimistic. Evil wields enormous power and there aren't enough courageous, smart people that aren't afraid to lose wealth and status. I bet Fox buries it and it becomes a verboten topic of conversation with Carlson, just like 2,000 Mules.
