Capitol Police were not told Republicans would turn Jan. 6 footage over to Tucker Carlson

WASHINGTON U.S. Capitol Police officials were not told that the surveillance video of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which they gave to House Republicans, would be passed on to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the department's top lawyer said in a sworn court filing.
In a declaration filed Friday in Washington federal court, Capitol Police general counsel Thomas DiBiase said police found out from a media report on Feb. 20 that Carlson's staff were reviewing thousands of hours of footage from the day of the riot that had not been made public at the time.
The Republican-led Committee on House Administration had requested access to the footage from Capitol police just 12 days earlier, according to DiBiase in the filing, first reported by Politico.
DiBiase said he was told that "personnel from the Tucker Carlson Show were allowed to view whatever footage they wanted while supervised by staff from CHA but that no footage had physically been turned over to the show."

This should not have been allowed to happen. Not unless it is part of the rope that is going to hang all the traitors.

(69,096 posts)Almost all LEO vote Republican, yet the GOP betrayed them big time on Jan 6 and now the aftermath. I keep hoping they'll wake up.
Same with the military. The GOP always votes against veterans benefits, they elected a president who mocked families of soldiers killed in action, mocked prisoners of war, undermined his own generals... what will it take to get people to wake up?
