House Republicans released 5,000 hours more of security footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol on Friday, but Speaker Mike Johnson announced -- in a reversal -- that the House Administration Committee will no longer blur the faces of individuals in the footage.

VIDEOAnd now we know WHY the Democrats were so vociferous in their demand that the J6 videos NOT be released. Because so far they are showing that the real MAGA patriots were entirely peaceful that day. Notice how none of the "protestors" (feds) who were acting violent and breaking windows were charged. But if you peacefully entered the Capitol after being invited in by the Capitol police for a quick quiet stroll through the building, it would ultimately mean months and years in the DC jail thanks to a politically weaponized DOJ. If there is one thing that shouts out...

It appears House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) decision to release all of the J6 footage might already be yielding some fruit. One video shows Capitol Police officers acting in a suspicious manner.In the footage, Capitol Police can be seen walking a man, who appears to be a J6 protester, to an exit in the Capitol building. The man is handcuffed. Once they get close to the metal detector, one of the officers uncuffs the individual, who gives another officer a fist bump before walking out of the building.Capitol Police take supposed J6er aside, remove his handcuffs, then give him a...

House Republicans have begun releasing thousands of hours of footage from inside the Capitol from Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building. “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,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said in announcing the website, where videos will be posted throughout the weekend.

Americans have routinely been told to shut up and believe the government-sponsored narrative. From accepting trial vaccines to trusting the results of a disastrous 2020 election to believing the Rino and Democrat-led j6 narrative, Americans are constantly told how to think by politicians and the media. Much like obtaining the facts regarding the 2020 election that led to the protest, trying to cut through the J6 narrative to get to the truth has been strenuous. J6 protestors have been accused of crimes such as seditious conspiracy and obstruction of a government proceeding, all while Pelosi withheld hundreds of hours of...

Matthew Graves just received a court summons. As the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Graves is rarely on the receiving end of a legal inquiry. In fact, Graves’ hand must be tired from signing thousands of criminal indictments, sentencing memos, and plea offers related to his ongoing investigation into the events of January 6, 2021. Just this week, the FBI arrested two more individuals on minor offenses, giving Graves’ overstaffed office more fresh meat for the Justice Department’s vengeful retaliation against Americans who protested the certification of Joe Biden’s election that day. No investigative technique is too invasive...

VIDEOAlmost every damn time a few January 6 videos are released we find yet more evidence that it was a Fedsurrection. In this case, a couple of recent video releases reveal an obvious Fedsurrectionist tearing away a gate section outside the Capitol as well as video of Capitol Police standing down, despite being berated by a MAGA patriot for doing nothing, as the Fedsurrectionists cause damage at the Capitol. Why do we still need to rely only on these few videos for evidence when there are at least 40,000 hours of J6 video which House Speaker Kevin McCarthy promised would...

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he intends to fully release to the public the tens of thousands of hours of U.S. Capitol surveillance footage from January 6, 2021. “Yeah,” McCarthy said when asked if the tapes will be fully released to the public…. “We just want to make sure we go through them all, and it takes time….” But McCarthy told Breitbart News that Carlson just got the first bite at the apple and that these videos will be released more broadly in the coming weeks…. “Well this is all about transparency,” McCarthy said...

Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman" who wore horns and face paint inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, has been moved from prison to an Arizona-based halfway house just weeks after Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired previously unseen footage of the riot. Bureau of Prison records showed Chansley is in custody at the Residential Reentry Management field office in Phoenix. Albert S. Watkins, the attorney who handled the plea and sentencing of Chansley, told the Washington Examiner, “I applaud the decision of the U.S. Bureau of Prison in this regard.” “After serving eleven months...

The lawyer who represented the 'QAnon Shaman' in his trial for storming the Capitol on January 6 has said that his client has been released from prison to a halfway house. Jacob Chansley, 35, pleaded guilty in September 2021 to civil disorder and violent entry to the Capitol, among other charges, and was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison. In a statement to DailyMail.com on Thursday his attorney Albert S. Watkins said he had been released from prison to the custody of a halfway house.

Videos of Jan. 6, 2021, some of which were previously censored, are now circulating online and sparking controversy and shock. The videos show people who appear to be Antifa infiltrating Trump supporters and Trump supporters stopping Antifa vandalism. Another video shows a man who said he witnessed Antifa disguising themselves and saying they wanted to make Trump supporters look bad. The eyewitness further insisted the Jan. 6 protesters committing vandalism were not Trump supporters. Go to the article for videos and good formatting.

On February 20, 100 Percent Fed Up reported about the newly elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s decision to release all of the 44,000 hours of footage from January 6, 2021, to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, giving him exclusive access to Capitol surveillance footage. “I’ve watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized [Jan. 6],” said McCarthy. “Where for the first time in the history as a speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee.” “We watched the politicization of this,” McCarthy said. “I think the American public should actually see all that happened instead of a report...

House Republicans are pumping the brakes on the release of Jan. 6 surveillance footage they’ve offered to Fox News host Tucker Carlson and going on offense against Democrats who have spent the past week slamming the move. Republican leaders are emphasizing that no clips will be broadcast without prior security clearance while accusing Democrats of neglecting the same precautions during the investigation by the House select committee last year — a charge the Democrats quickly rejected. Carlson, Fox’s wildly popular conservative pundit, said last week that he would begin airing footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot this week,...

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday accused House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy of helping Fox News stoke conspiracy theories by providing videos that were used by the cable network to portray the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters as peaceful. On Monday, Fox's right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson used some of the security videos, showing protesters walking through the Capitol, to argue that they were merely "sightseers." He said only a small number of those who illegally entered the Capitol as Congress was attempting to formally certify President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral win were "hooligans,"...

WASHINGTON — Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday released security video from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, using footage provided exclusively to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to portray the riot as a peaceful gathering. Carlson acquired the tapes as part of a push by McCarthy, R-Calif., to win the speaker’s gavel. When McCarthy was struggling to gather the votes to lead the House, Carlson used his program to list two “concessions” he could make to win over far-right Republicans. “First, release the January 6 files. Not some of the January 6 files and video —...

If there is one image from Jan. 6th that will remain indelible with the day, it is the “QAnon Shaman.” Bare chested and wearing an animal headdress, horns and red-white-and-blue face paint, Jake Angeli Chansley is to the Capitol riot what Rosie the Riveter was to World War II. Howling and “chanting an unintelligible mantra” on the Senate floor, he is the embodiment of the unhinged rage that led to one of the most disgraceful attacks on our constitutional process in history. However, the newly released Fox footage from that day raises serious questions over the prosecution and punishment of...

On Monday night, following the release of shocking new footage of the January 6 riot, former president Donald Trump called for the release of all prisoners arrested over their participation in the event. The roughly 40,000 hours of clips, which were released by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and aired on FOX News' Tucker Carlson Tonight, revealed never before seen angles of the riot, casting doubt on numerous claims made by Democrats and parroted by the media about what really happened that day. "Congratulations to Tucker Carlson on one of the biggest 'scoops' as a reporter in U.S. history," Trump posted...
