Why Is the Government Hiding January 6 Video Footage?
The American public still doesn’t know exactly what happened on January 6—and it’s clear the government will use any means necessary to keep it that way.

Joe Biden calls it the worst attack since the Civil War. Attorney General Merrick Garland compares it to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The FBI is breaking down the doors of Iraq War veterans and small business owners who have no criminal records, and some are hauled off to rot in solitary confinement in a fetid D.C. jail, for their involvement in the alleged travesty.

The event, of course, is the roughly four-hour-long disturbance at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. As mostly nonviolent Americans dared to protest Congress’ certification of a clearly fraudulent presidential election in a place that once was considered “The People’s House,” lawmakers scurried for cover as reporters and photographers captured part of the ruckus on video and still shots to wield as political ammunition against Donald Trump and his supporters.

But have we seen a full and fair depiction of exactly what happened that day? The answer, as evidenced by an ongoing coverup by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Justice Department, clearly is no.

Almost all the January 6 video seen by the public isn’t from official government sources but by social media users and journalists on the scene. For example, the widely viewed footage of protestors occupying the Senate chamber was recorded by a New Yorker journalist.

But thousands of hours of real-time footage is in the hands of the Capitol Police—and that agency, along with government lawyers and federal judges, is using every legal trick possible to keep the trove hidden from the public even as clips are presented in court as evidence against hundreds of January 6 defendants.

Shame, this is maddening!

Concealing Brady Material is an egregious violation of the Constitutional Rights of anyone accused of a crime. Considering the claims of "insurrection" include an large and even now unknown number of people, keeping this under wraps except for edited and cherry picked snippets is the same as withholding evidence of innocence for a vast group of people.

The reason these video recordings are being kept under wraps is because they reveal the truth about what happened inside the Capitol on January 6th.

That is.. essentially nothing of substance more than a "party crash" with the overwhelming majority of "insurgents" just walking around and taking the place in before leaving peacefully.

The feds will erase and destroy this video before it's released to the public.
The narrative must be preserved.

Could be they are photoshopping in some 'details'  that will better explain what happened to the jury who tries those jailed as insurgents.

A knife here, a pistol there, maybe a molotov sticking out of a backpack.

All these will be used to convince the jury that the perps are guilty of that memorable word 'insurrection'

Better add a few coils of decent rope, too, while they are at it, then. No decent insurgency is worth a darn without the means to hang someone.
