Released Video Shows "Insurrectionists" Being Given Tours by Friendly Cops;
Senator Mike Lee Calls for Investigation Into J6 Committee for Concealing Evidence

"The narrative has crumbled."

Prominent conservatives have shared footage from the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot, released by new House Speaker Mike Johnson, which one said means the "J6 Committee's violent insurrection narrative has crumbled."

On Friday, Johnson made around 90 hours of January 6 footage security footage available via a committee website. There, he said the remaining 44,000 hours of video, taken from surveillance and police body cameras, would be posted over the coming months, fulfilling a vow he made while running for speaker.

...

A number of short clips from the footage were shared on X, formerly Twitter, where some have received hundreds of thousands of views. Charlie Kirk, head of pro-Trump campaign group Turning Point USA, shared a 37-second clip showing police officers at one end of a congressional corridor and demonstrators at the other, without any apparent conflict between the two. Kirk wrote: "And just like that the J6 Committee's violent insurrection narrative has crumbled.

"The Capitol Police facilitated the protesters passage through the building. The vast majority of J6ers should be immediately released," Kirk added.

Liz Cheney, who lost her desperate, sweaty, fat bid for reelection by 40+ points, immediately posted the carefully-curated video of J6 rioters battling cops.

Mike Lee then pointed out: Yes, we've seen your propaganda videos a 1000 times already. But the question is: Why have we never seen any videos that cast doubt on your propaganda videos?

Yes, there were people committing crimes on January 6th -- but hundreds of people have been thrown in jail for merely "parading" peacefully in Congress. Liz Cheney suppressed videos which showed that people had a good-faith basis for believing their presence (in the "People's House," LOL) was tolerated by law enforcement. Cheney ruthlessly suppressed those videos to get hundreds of people sent to fucking prison on a lie.

Here's a law enforcement officer actually fist-bumping an "insurrectionist."

Now: Would that person have had any reason to believe that he was breaking the law? Given that a cop is actually welcoming him to the Capitol?

Shouldn't the J6 committee have been demanding answers to this question?https://t.co/g6g2mm7zLV https://t.co/IQC10Saf1z

That's a link to a September 19th article about the FBI needing an audit to figure out how many paid government assets it had infiltrated into the Capitol that day.

A point for the other side: Some have said that someone dressed up as a MAGA supporter "flashed a badge" to cops.

If the community notes here are to be believed, that man has been identified, and was in fact sentenced to 51 months (which is a scandal in itself, but a different scandal). The notes also claim that what some have said is a badge in his hand is actually a nicotine vaporizer, or a "vape." That is what it appears to be to me. I own one in a similar style.

Now Mike Lee wants Congress to investigate... the J6 Committee itself.

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee is calling for an investigation into the now-defunct House January 6 committee, accusing former and current lawmakers who served on the committee of "deliberately" hiding some of the footage from the Capitol riots.

Lee's comments came after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., began releasing more than 40,000 hours of footage taken at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when protesters angry about the 2020 election results entered the halls of Congress.

Highlighting the release of the footage in a series of posts to X, formerly known as Twitter, Lee called into question the character of former Republican representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

"Why didn't Liz Cheney and Adam Kizinger ever refer to any of these tapes? Maybe they never looked for them. Maybe they never even questioned their own narrative. Maybe they were just too busy selectively leaking the text messages of Republicans they wanted to defeat," Lee wrote in a post to the platform, which included a video that purportedly showed Capitol police officers facilitating the passage of protesters through the building that day.

Cheney and Kinzinger, Lee wrote in another post to X, were "people who helped hide the J6 tapes" and "are cut out of the same cloth as those who will tell you that FISA 702 must be reauthorized without reforms--'because search warrants require too much effort.'"

"We need to investigate the J6 committee," he wrote in another post.
