HUGE: House Speaker McCarthy Handed Over 41,000 Hours of Jan 6 Video to Tucker Carlson

[Meathead]

we own them. we the people own them. Not McCarthy..... the government owns all the video from government surveillance... thus we the people own the video.

If we own them, we should see them. Otherwise what's the point?

Many of them show secure areas and escape routes

 

[meaner gene]

Never released anything, only granted access....you know like Schiff and Nadler always did....

Releasing them, is by granting access to the servers they have them on.

You're talking 41,000 hours

On average, a 25GB Blu-ray disc can hold 135 minutes of HD video using MPEG-2 compression format

That's 20,000 blue-ray discs in the collectors edition.

OH FFS, Please!

Showing once again there is basically no difference between the parties.

 

[Lesh]

OH FFS, Please!

Are you serious?

PART of why those scumbags didn't succeed in kidnapping or injuring Representatives, Senators, and possibly even the VP was that they weren't aware of those escape routes and secure areas

If you could see all the tapes, you could view how and where the secret service took Mike Pence.

 

[meaner gene]

OH FFS, Please!

The tapes show where they took Mike Pence, and how they got him there. And every other move the secret service used to protect him.

 

[g5000]

Actually, no one has any idea as to the hows and why's that this access was granted.

Does not matter.

Once one media outlet is allowed access, all outlets must be allowed.

You all assume what you are so concerned about would be released, but you have no idea, only speculation.

There are cameras everywhere in the capitol.
That's the point of security cameras.

Big brother sees all.

 

[Care4all]

So, that is a no.

I didn't argue or debate it one way or another when it happened, if memory serves because i had read this article and similar ones at the time...

The thousands of hours of Jan. 6 footage the government wants to keep private

The thousands of hours of Jan. 6 footage the government wants to keep private

Capitol surveillance cameras captured more than 14,000 hours of footage between noon and 8 p.m. on Jan. 6, but the U.S. Capitol Police, as well as federal prosecutors, are "strictly" controlling who can see the footage and how much is shared with the public, Buzzfeed News reports.

The surveillance videos would provide a "full accounting of the movements of key players," including lawmakers and officers, as well as rioters — which is exactly why "Capitol security officials don't want them out there," Buzzfeed purports. Notably, officials had limited access to surveillance footage before Jan. 6, as well.

Jan. 6 prosecutors have previously argued that in sharing footage, the government would be revealing to an angry mob the capabilities of a Capitol surveillance camera, "including its position and whether it pans, tilts, or zooms." But if any cases go to trial, "the public interest in seeing evidence the government presents to a jury will be even stronger," contends Buzzfeed. The surveillance camera records have proven themselves a "wellspring of evidence" for FBI agents and prosecutors.


Meanwhile, lawyers for a media coalition, including Buzzfeed News, are requesting access to videos "on a rolling basis" if and when said footage is used in court. Chuck Tobin, one of the coalition's lead attorneys, said the Capitol's layout was no secret and that revealing surveillance cameras' positioning or capabilities is a moot point, since planned Capitol security upgrades will make such equipment "obsolete or soon to be."

Considering the video evidence that was already public, "there's nothing left to protect in terms of vantage points," said Tobin. Read more at Buzzfeed News.

You are surprised?

 

[g5000]

Not so sure....

Oh, it's for sure.

By giving the videos to Tucker Carlson, they are effectively no longer classified and must be released to anyone who requests them under the FOIA.

Again, Fox is the number one cable news network and has been for many years. You think the majority of cable news network viewers are wrong?

No other self-proclaimed news organization has ever been so fully discredited as Fox has been with this one legal brief. (You should read the document.) This is not the case of one reporter, one editor, or one story going off the rails. This is an indictment of an entire outfit. The full barrel of apples is rotten to the core. What this filing demonstrates is that the Fox universe is racked with corruption, greed, fear, irrationality, cynicism, and ignorance—from top to bottom.

Not so sure....

By limiting access to a single network, our freedom of speech is being limited by the speakers actions.

Duh...there is already a thread on this, Ace. And also a counter suit by Fox.

Try and keep up.

Sounds like a perfect fit for the GOP then. And demonstrates elegantly why McCarthy picked them as the sole receipient of the videos.
