I watched Four Hours at the Capital produced by HBO. I thought it was quite good. It showed a lot of footage. There was violence and there was non-violence. Capital police battling with rioters and Capital police walking around among the rioters mildly rebuking them. It depended on the time and place. People will focus on different aspects depending on their narrative. I thought the Capital police did great. Mostly, once, lawmakers were safe, they let the rioters occupy an empty building until they got bored. Perfect. No need for unnecessary violence. Go arrest the people a couple weeks letter after reviewing the footage and taking in tips.
The Dominion thing is Dominion voting systems are suing Fox News for defamation. Text and emails have come from tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and others that not only did they not believe that the election was rigged but that guests they were booking claiming so were not credible. Rupert Murdoch in sworn testimony has said they did so for profit. What you’re arguing is that Tucker Carlson is selective releasing not because it’s “interesting” but for profit. Given the record that he has admitted to “reporting” on things that he himself considers untrue and even ridiculous should give a lot of skepticism over what he is releasing now.
Why did the jan 6th committee not release these portions during their prime time hearings? I am sure those made for tv hearings drew more viewers and money than Tuckers show. The videos appear to be unedited so anyone can interpret them how they want. There sure is a lot of people not wanting Tuckers to be aired. I wish that day didn't happen but at the same time I think the citizens have a right to see the footage.
Capitol PD were clearly overmatched, also not well organized. Their duty is to protect the lives of Congress but also to protect the physical structure of Congress. My guess is a tactical decision was made regarding physically protecting the building. also to note that even while they backed off after members of Congress were safe there still were Congressional staff and others who weren’t. Members of Pelosi’s staff have testified to how they hid and barricaded themselves as rioters went through her office. Also we probably won’t know if sensitive documents were taken. It is a fact that private congressional notes and other documents were seen by rioters. There is video of them going through Ted Cruz’s notes on the Senate floor so likely they got other material from Senators desks and offices.
People presenting relevant footage wouldn't include capitol police doing an outstanding job when the largest issue was the white house group having a plan to override the free and fair election.
I agree the Jan 6 committee should’ve released more. We know for a fact though that McCarthy released 4,000 hours worth of footage to Tucker Carlson and not the wider public. Carlson isn’t a public official so he should also be able to release them. You keep on pointing fingers at others when it’s Tucker Carlson himself that could address this. Also by definition the videos Carlson is releasing are edited. If you release a snippet of a video that is an edit.
They didn't release a lot of the footage during their primetime hearing....... And why didn't McCarthy release the Jan 6th tapes to the entire media instead of selectively giving it to Carlson? A Republican gave the footage to the Republican media channel only..... and you seem okay with that. You mean people don't want a known liar on FOX news given exclusive access to additional footage? You can play dumb all you want about FOX news and Dominion but Carlson has had to have a legal disclaimer on his show regarding the veracity of his content for years before Dominion.
I don't think Carlson should have recieved this exclusively. Then the committee's versions would be "edited" as well. What exactly do you want Carlson to do? I anticipate that he will release it all.
Yes the committee’s videos were edited. Never claimed they weren’t. Much of the videos though they posted were already released by other media and corroborated. Also you keep on talking about powerful people not wanting Carlson to release the videos when he could release them all right now. You yourself acknowledge he’s doing so for profit so how much trust should you put in what he releases when he’s only releasing what maximizes his profit.
Of course. Anyone presenting evidence as support of a narrative would edit the release. The only thing is that the Jan. 6th committee videos were corroborated by additional testimony, documents and evidence. Tucker's crap is not supported or corroborated by anything than evidence that he is willingly deceitful and dishonest.
Tucker interviewed the police leader who was in charge of certifying the election and the gentleman said he was never interviewed by the committee. His interview was compelling. I think the Jan 6th committee was a weapon for the democratic party and the never trump lady.
How were they a weapon for the Democratic Party? Republicans (other than those subject to the investigation) could have been on the committee. Officials sympathetic to Trump were allowed to tesitfy and even subpoenaed. Some did testify and others pleaded the fifth and refused to answer questions. Trump and his allies were never denied the opportunity to ask questions, give their perspective on the investigations, etc. The election was certified. Why would anyone need the testimony of the officer in charge? Also what he said in a Tucker segment isn't relevant. Remember all the secret service personnel that were going to testify under oath about Cassidy Hutchinson testimony and then backed down when given the opportunity? Both sides were given the opportunity to say their side of the story. Some did give testimony and others pleaded the 5th.
I agree. I need to learn to lower my already low expectations on this type of stuff. I was amazed that they could present this as new or important news after watching it. It is literally the same stuff already known…. And it will work on the elderly and the lemmings with either a mild mental illness or those that want to believe it. Tucker has been circling the drain for sometime but this is bad… on par with … his other crap. So I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
“People are flipping out because it is raining baby dinosaur eggs from the sky. The eggs are hatching and pink velociraptors are eating people. People are scared, JFK Jr. was fighting them off with VanHelsing’s cross bow!” See? Just because I say something and then say it is true, doesn’t make it remotely true. I am not sure why - but for you and some people evidence doesn’t matter. Someone saying something you like doesn’t mean it is remotely true.
78% polled think Tucker Carlson has had a Russian **** in his mouth or ass. I can make up baseless and inconsequential polls and spit out unverifiable word salads too.
