Documentarian who testified about Jan. 6 says crew was aware they had filmed 'multiple crimes'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The documentary filmmaker who testified last week about the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol said on Sunday that he and his crew were aware they had filmed “multiple crimes” when they followed the far-right militia Proud Boys during the rioting for a documentary about division in America.

Nick Quested told NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd that he saw crimes “on the steps of the Capitol” and “inside the Capitol.”

After filming the events of Jan. 6, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn certification of the 2020 election, Quested decided to cooperate with law enforcement.

“So I called a friend of mine, who’s a U.S. attorney,” the filmmaker said on NBC. “And he referred me to the criminal department of the D.C. police, who then referred me to the FBI.”

1. Let's see the paperwork...

If crimes were reported... and no follow up ensued...

Additional crimes may have been committed...

That is all...

2. well, at the very least hold the fbi trolls accountable to the public....

Not sure you could argue a crime was committed by the fbi unless a very specific sequence of events was followed.

The fbi isn't that dumb however. I'm sure it made the appropriate rounds, and each level made a determination that nothing chargeable occurred. All within procedure. It may never have made it out of initial review.

But those who made those calls should be questioned about them.

3. I don't think the man was claiming he saw the FBI commit crimes

I think he was saying he saw crimes being committed by his documentary subjects and others storming the capitol that day.

4. yes, but the comment above mine sounded like they were saying the fbi committed crimes by not

following up.

Could be wrong though.
