More footage from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, further contradicts the left-wing narrative that the day’s events constituted a “violent insurrection” wherein democracy itself was placed in jeopardy at the hands of virulent demonstrators.
Last week, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana began releasing tapes containing more than 40,000 hours of footage from the Capitol, which were buried for three years while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and lawmakers on the partisan Jan. 6 Committee worked to dramatize the riot with prime-time show trials.
“When I ran for Speaker, I promised to make accessible to the American people the 44,000 hours of video from Capitol Hill security taken on January 6, 2021. Truth and transparency are critical,” Johnson said in a statement. “This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials.”
With a portion of the footage made available by Friday, the rest of the tapes will be made public on a rolling basis. Cameras captured demonstrators peacefully marching through the halls of the Capitol while police officers stood by.
In another clip, a Capitol police officer is seen removing restraints on one demonstrator after walking him down a hallway out of sight from the crowd — before another officer bizarrely congratulates him with a fist bump.
The footage corroborates what was shared by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in March before his abrupt exit from the network. Johnson’s Republican predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, gave Carlson’s producers access to the footage that had been kept under seal by the Democrat majority.
“That video,” Carlson said, “tells a very different story about what happened on Jan. 6.”

The tapes aired by Carlson showed Jacob Chansley, the infamous “QAnon Shaman,” being escorted by police around the complex; revealed deceased Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick “healthy and vigorous” after allegedly being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher; and unearthed new contradictions in Ray Epps’ testimony. The tapes also exposed outright fabrications by the House Select Committee on Jan. 6, which was established by House Speaker Pelosi ostensibly to probe the Capitol turmoil while concealing her own failures.
Democrat Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chaired the partisan Select Committee, bizarrely conceded that over the course of the panel’s two-year investigation, lawmakers never reviewed the blockbuster footage that was later published by Fox News.
“I’m not actually aware of any member of the committee who had access,” Thompson said. “We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.”
Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, meanwhile, who was vice chair of the Select Committee before an overwhelming primary defeat by Rep. Harriet Hageman, tried to downplay Friday’s release by resharing some of the panel’s carefully selected footage of the mob.
“Here’s some January 6th video for you,” she wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.
Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, whom Cheney’s Soviet-style committee sought to frame as a collaborator in an apparent insurrection, pushed back on Cheney’s narrative.
“Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times. You made sure we saw that — and nothing else,” Lee wrote on X. “It’s the other stuff — what you deliberately hid from us — that we find so upsetting.”
Does anyone have the footage where, after one of President Trump’s “covid” briefings, Fauci fist bumps one of his cohorts?
Well, it is just stunning that it took this long to get the video out.
On the other hand, not surprising at all.
When do we get to see obstruction of justice charges brought against Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and the other usual suspects?
Investigators need to look long and hard at Lizzy and Kinzinger plus the Dems on that Committee for their selection of vids released to the public during their investigation.
It’s clear now why Pelosi and her thugs refused to release the video, their comments and accusations were all based on lies. Total, complete lies.

Newly released Jan 6th video show capital police releasing and fist bumping protester

Ha ha ha! Aren't you cute, thinking we have a functioning system of laws and justice!
Video of Lt. Michael Byrd leading up to the shooting?
Congress and the DOJ need their asses kicked for wasting money planning and pulling of this farce to get the DemocRATS elected.
We know the FBI is on on this whole thing.
And we know the courts are in on it too, keeping the J6 folks in jail without trial.
And the media is in on it because they don't ask any questions or see anything odd in any of this.
And, clearly, the Republican Party is also in on the whole thing because (up until now) the GOP has been keeping these videos out of public sight.
So think about that.
bttt
Just another piece of the Pelosi coup.
The fist-bumper is a Fed.
Rank and file cops may have supported the protestors.
This video is interesting. Cop shoots teargas not into the crowd but into the police line. This causes all cops to rush away and leave a barricade of the crowd. This allows everyone to enter the capitol without resistance.
