House GOP failed to tell Capitol Police about giving Jan. 6 footage to Carlson, top lawyer says

last month said that 174 law enforcement officers were injured. DiBiase filed the affidavit as part of a case against two rioters, William Pope and Michael Pope. The brothers have been charged with obstruction of Congress, civil disorder, and trespassing and disorderly conduct, and have been seeking wider access to video of the riot, as have some defense attorneys who watched the Carlson show.

“In subsequent conversations, the USCP General Counsel confirmed that the department concluded there are no security concerns with what was released,” Bednar wrote.

So what.....the capital police works for Congress who cares

Can't imagine having to stand and defend the incoming administration that day . I'll bet it was real difficult to defend the liberal mob being inaugurated.

So the Capitol Police weren't informed about January 6 footage that they should have released 2 years ago

SO WHAT! NOBODY CARES what the top lawyer has to say!

What's your point...

Boo Hoo.

Oopsie.

Didn't know the cops outranked their boss...

Want to talk about CCTV evidence? Ask CBPBuffalo agents what happened to the video recordings from US border station at the time of HumanRights abuse of Canadian with NEXUS there - POTUS SecBlinken SecMayorkas have no interest to know the TRUTH…

Hiding Evidence? That's what Obama did. Democrats are lying scumbags!

😂

Strange, then how did they ask him to blur one door and not show another view - before he aired the footage?

Release all the footage. The only reason not to is if you don't want people to see for themselves what happened.

So what WTF does that even mean 😂🤡🤔. How about Washington Post NEVER wanting to see the footage 🤡

So they could stop showing them to the public Got yah moment.

Nice try. You have no play here. Everything angle you try is going to come off foolish. Maybe try the truth?

They don’t have to tell them shit. Capitol Police need to explain why their staff was giving tours

That’s a lie! They worked with Capitol police before releasing

So?

Literally everyone knew that McCarthy gave Tucker the J6 tapes. How did the Capital Police miss the memo? This is hogwash!

And?

Why does it matter... they know what they did

Why would the CP need to know? What difference would it make?

So?

They don't have to hell the Manhattan DA Leaked the grand jury info last Friday you damn liberals

It was none of their business.

Wrong again WaPo. Tucker made it very clear that Fox News worked very closely with the capital police to ensure things within the capital is not viewed by the public. Liars have to lie don't they WaPo?

SpeakerMcCarthy needs to be investigated and held accountable…tick Tock Qevin

😂 So, WHAT? The Capitol police are just as guilty of January 6 as Nancy Pelosi & the DC mayor. Why the F**K would anyone tell them anything about these tapes? Are they scared of repercussions because they were caught acting as private tour guides to supposed insurrectionists?🤷🏻‍♀️

Shocker

So?

Didn't they help Tucker edit the footage

Pretty sure Democrats aren't required to notify police when they leak their made-up stories to the press.

Well, the Capitol police work for the Speaker, not the other way around. Why would the Capitol Police be upset unless the tapes will reveal behavior on their part they would rather keep quiet.

False

Tough bananas , Julius. Pelosi‘s funky commission fails again.

Why didn’t the Jan 6 committee have the Capitol Police review the footage before starting the hearings?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact … they didn’t need to

I don’t see a reason why they should be told. It belongs to the public.

It’s time federal bureaucracy learns they are unelected bureaucrats that work for American people, specifically answer to America’s representatives, Congress!! Real journalism serves as an informal check on government. Good job Tucker.

So what?

Capital Police had access to the video for years. Corrupt WAPO misinformation continues.

I'm wondering if some of the video footage released to Carlson relates to other 1/6 cases, ie, potential cases of those not found & charged yet & perhaps in the background of said footage, if so could McCarthy be charged with obstruction, hindering prosecution?

We the American people have every right to see all the footage, remember all these people work for us,we the people are the government

WHO is the top lawyer?

What, were the police going to give them a ticket? Actually, the Jan 6th committee failed to tell the PEOPLE that there was 44,000 hours of unseen footage!

House speakers should be charged with some type of offense for giving a media outlet. 6 Jan camera surveillance and not sharing equally

Dang. Capital corruption exposed!

😭😭😭😭😭

Wa po is just a dem rag at this point

Why should they tell them? Stop making up excuses for censorship and let the people see what happened.

So? They don't need permission from the capitol police. Stop gaslighting.

'Failed?' No. Chose. Don't use weasel words.

Was that a failure or by design?

Who cares? We own the tapes and the Capitol Police. They work for the people, not the politicians.

So?

Too bad. The People have a right to know the events of Jan6 were staged by Pelosi & our compromised FBI. They are The Peoples tapes now. justice

What a surprise

Failed? They're literally qanon terrorists lol

What the GOP wants is chaos & it's building all the false narratives to enable that.

Was I supposed to feel surprised at that?

Sounds like the kind of thing they should've noted?

House GOP failed to tell Capitol Police about giving Jan. 6 footage to Carlson, top lawyer saysIn a sworn declaration, the top lawyer for the U.S. Capitol Police said they learned from media reports that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had granted exclusive access to the Jan. 6 footage to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The police asked House Republicans to let them review every clip that would be made public for security reasons, Capitol Police lawyer Thomas DiBiase said in the six-page declaration. But DiBiase said he only viewed a single clip. Ahh, they do not give a rat’s posterior about the Capitol police! Well this is a lie. The owners of the video was the Capitol’s police. They did this to keep it from the courts. But with a new Sheriff in town they didn’t have a choice. By the was Kevin offer the footage to anybody and nobody wants it. WHY?
