Jan 6 Committee Members Never Reviewed Surveillance Footage of Capitol Riot
In stunning admission, the chairman of the J6 committee now confesses he never analyzed any footage before running the made-for-TV show trial with Liz Cheney.
[b]Chair of the January 6 Committee Bennie Thompson says that neither he nor members of the Committee, including Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, never personally viewed surveillance footage taken from the Capitol on that fateful day in 2021.[/b]
CNN political reporter Alayna Treene posted this revelation to Twitter by way of describing the process for lawmakers with the 118th Congress to view the material.
Treene said that Bennie Thompson [b]"said lawmakers were never given that type of access to the footage last Congress. 'It’s strictly a new policy that the new speaker has put in place,' he told CNN."[/b]
"Thompson," Treene continued, "said [b]he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage — they let only staff view it.[/b] 'I'm actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. [b]We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.'"[/b]
