Jan 6 Q: Why were there TV cameras ready to cover inside the capital?

Is the interior of the capital always being filmed?

Or, was CNN allowed to set it up ahead of time?

4. There were a number of reporters there, as well.

Many of them were hiding in place along with members of Congress. Talk about first hand narrative for a story, they literally had a front row seat.

The video is saved to memory.

What video, specifically, are you talking about?
