House Republicans released a policy on Friday regarding security footage from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol that allows "first come, first served" access for qualified people.

Starting this month, according to guidance by the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, representatives of U.S. news outlets, defendants charged with crimes related to Jan. 6 and their counsels, and those who were physically harmed during the siege and their counsels will be allowed to view the Capitol security footage from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021.

All viewers will have to leave cellphones and cameras near the door and agree not to record the footage from terminals.

For news outlets, terminals to view the footage will be made available on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. Only one three-hour time slot will be allowed per week.

Clips of the footage can also be made available to news outlets at the committee's discretion, with requests evaluated on a tiered scale.

It isn't accessible until a bunch of geezers and ladies from Podunk can sit down and watch it on their own gear, and even record bits (with timestamp and camera data, of course) they find important.

Such quilting bees and gatherings might peel more lid back.
