When the Democrats put together January 6th Committee, they didn’t plan on the Republicans taking over the House of Representatives. The idea was that the information and video that did not support the narrative of a violent insurrection would never see the light of day. However, that plan ran into a snag when the Republicans took control of the House of Rerpresentatives.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced Wednesday that the tapes showing the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building would be released to more journalists.<\/strong><\/p>\n John Solomon of JustTheNews.com, Julie Kelly of American Greatness and an unnamed outlet will receive \u201cunfettered access\u201d to the over 41,000 hours of video footage of the Capitol riot<\/a>, the Georgia congresswoman posted<\/a> on Twitter.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAs I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports,\u00a0@Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes,\u201d Greene tweeted. \u201cTheir reporting on it starts tomorrow!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the Speaker of the House, previously provided<\/a> then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, access to the tapes, Axios reported<\/a>. Previous reports indicated that the amount of footage was 14,000 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n I believe that showing the video tapes of January 6th was one of the reasons Tucker Carlson got fired. I also believe that the fact that only one or two sections of the video were ever shown on his show when he was granted access to the tapes was the result of pressure from Fox News not to show the video. It will be interesting to see if the media outlets that now have access to the videos have the courage to make them public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When the Democrats put together January 6th Committee, they didn’t plan on the Republicans taking over the House of Representatives.
