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]

It was a show trial, conducted by Trump haters, with a foregone conclusion. The truth plain didn't matter.
@graphite "Let's have a 'Trial' by combat". Rudy Giuliani 🤔 Is that the trial you're talking about?

@softspokenman Did he actually conduct such a trial or was he just saying something as a joke? Democrats' J6 Kangaroo Court was a joke, we know that. Democrats and their loyal media are seething over their bulls*** narrative being destroyed by actual facts. "Ahhh! It's dangerous to show these videos! Ahhhh!" Freaking pathetic. Same people who opened the border to millions of unvaccinated during a pandemic.
@graphite Are you saying that all the people who testified under oath to the J6 committee hearing were lying?

@softspokenman Did we get the whole story from those who testified, like the one who falsely claimed Trump tried to commandeer the presidential van? Are you saying it was the correct thing to do to not turn over exculpatory video to the defendants? Why has Ray Epps, an outspoken, visible instigator of the whole thing, not been charged? He went from prominent on wanted posters to - poof! - disappearing from them. What was that about?
@graphite 😱 Yikes!
