Let the backpedaling BEGIN! J6 Committee Chair Thompson says they NEVER had access to J6 video
Twitchy.com ^ | 3/9/2023 | Sam J.

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.

— @BlueskyandRyegrass (@BlueskyandRyeg1) March 9, 2023

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.

— Stacy Lillis (@Stacy_Lillis) March 9, 2023

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.

— William Keane (@largebill68) March 9, 2023

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

— ANJI USA PASSION🇺🇲🙏😘 (@usa_anji) March 9, 2023

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.

— EricStoner (@TesterTwitt) March 9, 2023

Ouch.

LOVE IT! This low IQ hack decided to take this certain fork in the road, leaving the other committee members stranded as to what to say or do in response to all of this. Ha ha haaaaaa!

His comment actually is worse condemnation of his actions, he has admitted to seeking sever imprisonment and life damaging punishment for individuals. Individuals for which he has never viewed the evidence of their actions. That is as debased as one can be.

The communist Thompson is lying

Virginal, he is not. His communist motives belie his intent

I think the media is going to drop the topic and move on. That’s what they do when they lose.

Does this really surprise anyone? It’s the same way legislation is written. By underlings, staff and lobbyists.
They’re generally clueless as to what’s actually in the legislation they propose and vote for.

So, saying they jailed people on material they had never seen is a defense???

Scotus should vacate every sentence and retry or dismiss because of withheld evidence and political persecution.

If anyone bothered to actually watch that committee it’s not at all a surprise they didn’t bother to look at any facts.

The membership of the committee and the way they went about everything they did was completely partisan and it was nothing but a witch hunt television show.

The conclusions and the connections they tried to make were just childish.

Really is a sad example of a dumbing down of America at the highest levels or I should say now the lowest levels.

A legitimate committee certainly could have placed some blame and criticism on president Trump but that would have just been the beginning of an intelligent discussion of everything and everyone involved.

Instead we were treated to a fantasy play in which a protest at the capital was turned into an existential threat against democracy.

having a black committee chair was smart for the Dem’s...in theory...in reality, he is not smart enough to deal with even a tiny amount of pushback. Claiming the committee members didn’t actually view the tapes is the same as conceding Tuckers argument - and effectively throws the entire J6 ruse under the bus...staff, committee, Dem’s, MSN, and RINO GOP leadership...everyone.

I can believe they never saw it. I am sure that someone either their own staff or the FBI curated for them. But then we need to dig into that. Who was it that curated the video. Those people are the premier swamp who should be thrown out of a job at worst and indited at best.

Remember politicians are temporary. The regular federal employees are permanent. Its those swamp creatures who are permanent that need to be exposed and fired.

The judge knew it as well. He KNEW the evidence on the tapes existed and he covered it up. He along with the others should be hanging from lamp posts.
