Rep. Bennie Thompson, who headed up the now-defunct (and discredited) January 6th committee, dropped a stunning and confusing claim on Wednesday evening. According to him, members of the committee never had access to the footage that is now being released by Tucker Carlson. That footage, much of which has never been seen before, has caused mass consternation in the press and among Democrat politicians because it challenges some of the predominant narratives about January 6th. Here’s what Thompson had to say, though ascertaining why he’s saying it is a bit harder to do.
Thompson said he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage — they let only staff view it. "I'm actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video."

Why do they need videos.... they were physically present and television coverage showed peaceful demonstrators marching single file thru the building... These idiots can't even construct lies without being exposed as malefactors of the worst sort.
The entire Demoncrat party is a horde of brainwashed, indoctrinated, and malevolent liars, thugs, contemptible, anti-American communists.
The lies of the demoncrats is stunning!
B.S.
BS. The Dems are doing what they always do. LIE and blame someone else for their corruption. Why were the J6 lawyers denied access to the TAPES. When they open their mouths they are lying.
She kinda of looks that way all the time.
WRONG! The Democrats had 100% of the footage, but gave the Right only what they wanted to. NOW we have them all. The general public can now see the length the left will go to destroy the Trump movement. This has been true since he came down the escalator, and the Republicans did nothing! The Trump voters knew the truth, the left refused to. The 2016 election was corrupt, but they underestimated the Trump voters. They took no chances in the 2020 election and came at him from every direction and are continuing to attack him to this day. Their agenda is Party yes, Country no!
