McCarthy Praises Speaker Johnson For ‘Tremendous Job’ Releasing January 6 Tapes

Rep. Kevin McCathy (R-CA) praised his successor in the role of House speaker, Mike Johnson (R-LA), on Sunday for overseeing the long-awaited release of more January 6 footage to the public.
In an interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," McCarthy said, "Johnson's doing a tremendous job with that, adding more and more" after the new speaker announced the rolling online disclosure of tens of thousands of hours of video on Friday.
Before he was ousted as speaker last month, McCarthy kickstarted the process of releasing U.S. Capitol security tapes, which began to show the public an unvarnished look at the scenes of the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6, 2021, in contrast to the images shown during hearings led by the January 6 Committee when Democrats ran the House.
McCarthy shared access with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who aired footage that included video showing police officers appearing to stand by passively as people poured into the Capitol. Also during his speakership, the House had begun to grant restricted access to other members of the media and January 6 defendants.
"The one thing I had found is, we wanted transparency. So, when we took the majority, [the] first thing I did was make sure those tapes became under the responsibility of House Administration. What we found was, [the] January 6 Committee had lied to us, that there were thousands of more hours of tape," McCarthy said.
"And the first thing I wanted to make sure is, anybody who was in jail, had the right to a defense was able to see those tapes. So that was the priority," he added. "The defense was able to go through those. We started bringing press in to be able to see it. We were building a portal where every time the press looked at something and they went through it, the public was able to get it."
One particular area in which the video footage made a difference, as noted by McCarthy, was to counter allegations about Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) - who is now working to process the footage for public release on a rolling basis as chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the Committee on House Administration - giving a "reconnaissance tour" a day before January 6.
"Barry Loudermilk has done a tremendous job, congressman from Georgia walking through this," McCarthy said, adding, "Remember, he got - they accused him of something that's not true, the January 6 Committee, and the tapes actually proved that it was not true, that he wasn't giving tours inside. And that's really what drove this."

RH - I couldn't come up with one either.

Both RINOs who played Benedict Arnold in Pelosi's made-for-TV dog and pony propaganda show lost their seats for it. The other was Adam Kinzinger, and ironically Kinzinger got redistricted out by the Democrats! It seems they are willing to use traitors but not reward them for it. Well, Bigot Bob, I guess you thought the original Benedict Arnold was also a "patriot".
That Pelosi dog and pony show committee was stacked in violation of House rules, when she did not let the Republican Party choose the Republican members. That was a clear sign that they did not intend an honest and objective investigation. Now they have apparently destroyed or stolen the tapes of their depositions. |

Stan, I couldn't think of anyone either.

BTW Stan, I couldn't come up with a name either. Its hard. Who in their right mind would give up THAT job to stand on principle? Even if you don't agree with her, you have to admit she has a bigger pair than even you..

Good governing in no way means 'agreement with you".
|

No Big Bob: That was NOT an investigation; this "show trial" of an investigation was a farce perpetrated by the extraordinary corrupt Non Patriot Left upon those of us who actually understand the dictates of good governing upon a Good self-governed People.

Not a name in the whole rant. It's OK RH, I couldn't think of one either.

Liz Cheney was a backstabbing RINO the whole time she was in Congress, and finally she did something that exposed it to all her constituents. That committee was rigged by Pelosi. The rules of the House require each party name their own members to committees, but that did not apply to this hatchet job political propaganda committee.
Funny thing, the Democrats have apparently destroyed all the tapes they made of "evidence". How convenient!!!! |

It was. We all saw it on TV. Cost LC her job. She is the real Patriot. Name one other legislator in either party who would do that?

Consider this: Why wasn't a real investigation done in the aftermath the January 6th "Mostly Peaceful" Demonstration and Riot?
