Since there were right-wingers on the committee, I would think we saw a balanced presentation. Still, even it it was left-wing, why keep it from mainstream media outlets now?

Because our government is corrupt and main stream media sucks.
Can only trust Tucker. Gotcha. I bet he loves that. Seems his programming is working on some of the population.

I was including tucker in the “main stream media sucks”.
I’m sure the Jan 6th committee members brokered a lucrative deal with cnn and nbc etc for the prime time production and now the right gets to have a turn and McCarthy struck a deal with fox. Maybe not as lucrative not being prime time, but obviously profitable since fox has plenty of viewers and is further from death currently.
Don’t you love capitalism?

You think the Jan. 6th committee members got kickbacks from CNN and NBC? Based on...

But is it only the Right that gets a “turn”? We should all keep in mind the Capital Police have stated that they are required to provide those very same tapes to the Democrats should they simply ask for them. The Capital Police are not allowed to play favorites just because McCarthy asked them first. It’s likely, therefore, that any distortion of the facts that Carlson might try to put over on his audience, can be countered by a more balanced look at whatever “facts” Carlson’s team choose to present.
It’s up to the Democrats if they want to request copies from the Capital Police, but I expect Democrats will expose the worst deceptions that I must expect will be built into the Carlson narrative.
We need to get past efforts to cast the 1/6 insurrectionists as “the patriots” that day. Yes, I am absolutely certain many felt that way, to the hilt, and I would understand anybody who had the wool pulled over their eyes by Trump. Just because people can be fooled does not mean they are terrible human beings.
But I do hope Democrats understand they can counter Carlson’s narrative. McCarthy does not have the power to tell the Capital Police who they can, or cannot, share that footage with. It is not his call.

The left had an entire committee that withheld these tapes. Democrats and their sham committee are literally the ones that are hiding them. Democrats are the ones that want them hidden. And please... learn the difference between a Capital and Capitol.
Talk about the wool over the eyes. The only one hiding things like video evidence and refusing to let chosen Republicans serve on the one-sided committee are Democrats. The only ones complaining about the release of evidence is you and your cult. The democratic committee can release the tapes too, but they refuse to.

I love this part lol: He went on to say that "the real goal, it seems to me, is you have a complete authoritarian who has learned that he can say anything and everything and can blame Mike Pence for following the law and saying because you followed the law, you caused me to have to break the law, and so it's your fault because if you had only violated the law, I won't have been forced to engage in an insurrection."
It's the second time this week that Trump has been accused of confessing to crimes. Speaking to MSNBC, the Lincoln Project's Tara Setmayer said that in his attack on Vice President Mike Pence, Trump claimed that if his VP only broke the law, the attack on the Capitol wouldn't have happened.
"So Trump is basically saying, yeah, that mob was there to kill you if he didn't give me the election, and the proof is they came to get you. And if I'm a Department of Justice lawyer, I'm writing that down," she explained.
The former president and Epstein, convicted of soliciting minors, started hanging out in the late 80s or early 90s. They ran in the same social circles, and Trump infamously told New York magazine, “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it-Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
THIS IS WHO DONALD TRUMP IS She was 13, a virgin. Trump went 1st Tied her up with nylons. Epstein 2nd... complained to her "i should have been 1st" Trump went 3rd and 4th, violently beating her. Charges dropped 5 days before 2016 election. Father & Family threatened
Trump is falsely accusing DeSantis of pedophilia. It is only fair to point out the fact that he traveled on Epstein’s Lolita Express seven times. It is also fair to point out that Trump lied about the number of times he traveled on that plane.
The company – Trump Media, which owns Trump’s Truth Social platform – initially came under criminal investigation over its preparations for a potential merger with a blank check company called Digital World that was also the subject of an earlier probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Towards the end of last year, federal prosecutors started examining two loans totaling $8m wired to Trump Media, through the Caribbean, from two obscure entities that both appear to be controlled in part by the relation of an ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, the sources said.
The first $2m payment to Trump Media came in December 2021 when the company was on the brink of collapse after the planned merger with Digital World – that would have unlocked millions for the company – was delayed when the SEC opened an inquiry into whether the arrangement broke regulatory rules.
Trump Media needed a bridge loan to keep the company afloat. But it struggled to get financing until Digital World’s chief executive Patrick Orlando sourced a $2m loan wired from Paxum Bank registered in Dominica
The wire transfer identified Paxum Bank as the beneficial owner, although the promissory note identified an entity called ES Family Trust as the lender. Two months later, an unexpected second $6m payment arrived in Trump Media’s account from ES Family Trust, the transfer receipt showed.
In both instances, Orlando declined to provide details about the true identity of the lenders or the origin of the money to Trump Media executives, Trump Media’s since-ousted co-founder turned whistleblower Will Wilkerson recounted in an interview.
Though the two payments to Trump Media ostensibly came from two separate entities – first Paxum Bank and second ES Family Trust – the trustee of ES Family Trust, a person called Angel Pacheco, appears to have simultaneously been a director of Paxum Bank.
The Russian connection, as being examined by prosecutors in the US attorney’s office for the southern district of New York, centers on a part-owner of Paxum Bank – an individual named Anton Postolnikov, who appears to be a relation of Putin ally Aleksandr Smirnov.
Smirnov, who heads the Russia-controlled maritime company Rosmorport, worked in the Central Office of the Russian government until 2017. Before that, Smirnov was the First Deputy Minister of Justice of Russia until 2014, and for most of Putin’s first two terms as president, Smirnov served in the executive office of the president.
The worst thing about all of this is there very likely will be zero charges brought against Trump at any point. Why are we so hesitant to hold the people with money to account like everyone else? Oh yeah, I forgot, money is the defacto US religion, so we cannot go against our religious leaders as they have all the power. Money = power = immunity from the law. This country is so ****ed up.
