HALLO? Anyone in the journalism tribe aware of what is being done with 40k+ hours of J6 security

tapes. Specifically, do any of you think that giving them to T,ucker Carlson or EVERY DAMNED ONE OF THE J6 DEFENDANTS---as some House Republicans are now pushing---just MIGHT be a bad thing?

Might get some in the Capitol killed?

Might be used to plan the NEXT insurrection?

Do you think that among that group of right wing extremists---including Tucker---there must might be a few who would APPLAUD AND JUSTIFY large-scale bloodshed next time?

At the risk of putting too fine a point on it, do any of you think this is worth some on-air indignation? Are any of you pissed off? Outraged? Frightened?

Although you "cover" this obscenity, it's with the same demeanor as when you report that this or that automobile is being recalled for faulty brake lights.

Who are you afraid of offending?

1. Haven't heard a peep about it in any media.

If there's even a cursory investigation going on I haven't heard about it.

[ForgedCrank]

2. The only thing

I am irritated about is that they weren't simply made publicly available.
There's no national security component to this, and everyone should be able to see what happened.
Having selective bits of it released to support one side of the story only raises more suspicion.
I say post them ALL on a public server for every single person to have access to, unrestricted.
There should be nothing to hide, and it would shut down a lot of this foolish MAGA conspiracy crap once and for all.

4. My understanding is that it has never been revealed where the VP was taken or how he got there.

Further, some if the video was taken by hidden cameras.

Will these "secrets" be now made public---where Pence was safely stashed and where the hidden cameras were located?

Could not assisting a future violent assault on Congress be considered a "national security component"?

[ForgedCrank]

5. That would be

a fair argument if that was in question, but no one has been accused of or charged with entering what would be considered secret service operations areas such as those you described. And I very seriously doubt any video of that nature has been released, nor should it. That is an entirely different scenario.
Every single inch of these buildings are covered by security video, that is no secret to anyone. So other than those secret areas as you described, everyone already knows it's covered with surveillance video whether the camera is hidden or not.
The bad guys here should be the only ones worried about the video release. It'll only further support their prosecution in the end. They broke the law and thee's no excuse for what they did. Let the video show it. But that'll only happen when everyone has it, not just Tucker Carlson. THAT is a problem.
And forgive me if the video has since been released publicly. If it has, I haven't head about it.

6. Carlson claimed he'd been given "unfettered" access go over 4,000 hours of J6 video.

If true, that would make "public" any part of it that he decided to release.

Further, some of the insurrectionists facing criminal charges want access to ALL of the videos and, if I'm not mistaken, one judge has granted the requested delay so that can be accommodated.

I agree that if Carlson gets the videos, so should all others, but I do not agree that there is nothing that should be "hidden".

7. Why would

anyone want any related video evidence to be sealed?
With respect, I don't understand this position at all.

[Atticus]

8. We're even. I don't understand your "nothing should be hidden" position. nt

[ForgedCrank]

10. Well, I want

to explain then.
I don't know of a good reason to want the evidence sealed unless there is something there I don't want someone to see.
Everyone who broke the law should be exposed and prosecuted. No, I'm not insinuating anything either. I'm that confident in the capitol police and how they handled what was going on.
And in the off chance someone did do something out of line, I want that known as well. Transparency keeps everyone honest, and I want nothing hidden. Justice is supposed to be 100% unbiased without exception, and allowing the video to be public will achieve that.
The additional bonus, like I also said before, is that it's all there for anyone to see and shuts down all the stupid conspiracy theories coming from the right. Hiding it just leaves the path wide open for speculation, and that isn't a good thing.

3. I called and emailed 2 journalistic associations about 10 days ago and. Nada.

I worded my questions innoquously enough. Did not wish to appear to opinionated.

Nada so far. If I do ever hear back. I will be sure to let people know.
