House Republicans will permit January 6 defendants to use Capitol security footage in their legal defense, a decision that could impact ongoing prosecutions from the 2021 riot.

The Capitol riot has been the center of much establishment media reporting. In December, Republicans and the partisan January 6 CommitteeLiz Cheney , vice chairwoman of the partisan January 6th Committee, sits with her fellow committee members during one of the hearings on June 16th, 2022.

The Republicans’ report shed light on how the Capitol’s security was left vulnerable to massive crowds. The report found Democrat House leadership and law enforcement leaders in the Capitol Police were quite worried about the “optics” of any enhanced Capitol security before the protest. Rep. Jim Banks believes the report serves as evidence of Pelosi’s “leading role” in the Capitol’s security failures.“Our report exposes the partisanship, incompetence and indifference that led to the disaster on January 6 and the leading role Speaker Pelosi and her office played in the security failure at the Capitol,” BanksJust the News.

In the January 6 Committee’s report, Pelosi appeared to reject any responsibility for the lack of Capitol security. Pelosi stated the partisan committee “succeeded in bringing clarity” to the riot by “investigating the facts, circumstances and causes that led to this domestic terror attack on the Capitol.”

dcharlow How TF was it ever permitted to block actual evidence from being used? That was beyond disgusting and wrong - thank god it’s being fixed but it should NEVER have been.

The kicker the hostages actually paid the salaries of the people who detained them who are the same people who unlawfully changed voting laws that caused this whole thing to begin with.

Exculpatory evidence such as this should never be withheld from a defendant.

cant believe they are allowing people to use evidence in their defense nowadays smh

'You can use evidence in your defense.'

that footage should be used to appeal previous convictions and throw the book at the federal prison guard who has been abusing J6 defendants

About time

When did America become cowards? Stand and fight people!

Jan 6 defendants must be set free.

what if I could prove to you it didn't happen the way you think.or Have you made up your mind without knowing all the facts you have only going of the facts you have been fed. don't be so quick to judge. it is not your fault it was the only thing you knew

Sounds fair to me!!

That’s disgusting. They attacked us, they attacked our Capitol.

wait, what possible justification was there for not permitting it before?

It's staggering they weren't already allowed to use the footage.

I would hope so, its called evidence... it should be made public considering the goat rodeo the Democrats have made about it

Riot my azz. Wait till there is a real riot

Judges should have demanded it. Constitutional right to have access to government-controlled evidence potentionally supportive of a criminal defense.

Good for them!

What about the guys who are already sentenced?
