If The Capitol Police Are Not Complicit

then why did Laudermilk demand that they release the video tapes? Someone explain to me why he would demand that when the video tapes implicated him?

I smell a rat or 2.

Subpoena the head of the Capitol police under oath.

How exactly does that work? I mean... They are the ones who gave the video to the committee.

oh... And Steven Sund, who was the police chief on 1/6 did testify. No subpoena was needed.

Did Sund volunteer the tapes or was there a request for them? If there was not a request, would Sund have turned over the tapes?

Plus, he resigned on the 7th. You are doing some serious reaching.

The Capitol Police said that the people with Loudermilk didn't enter the Capitol Building (true; there's additional security and cameras and the tunnels between the office buildings and the Capitol Building) and that their behavior in the office building wasn't suspicious (a qualitative assessment; anyone can walk freely about the office buildings and take pictures of whatever they want).

Former FBI, Peter Strzok came to a quick conclusion that the tour behavior was suspicious.

I have heard no one other than Lund and Loudermilk who thought the behavior was normal.

Members of the Capitol police were banned from bringing in their families because of Covid yet we are supposed to believe that Lund gave a qualitative assessment? I didn't see the traitors taking any pictures of their kids. If I go somewhere important that's the first thing I do.

The Capitol Police gave the Committee its opinion of the situation. They also gave the Committee the actual video.

tapes that was required of them when the complaint was issued, and if they didn’t even bother to verify the Congress person’s story by looking at the available video, then someone dropped the ball and didn’t do their job
