Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) called for an investigation of the House Jan. 6 Committee on Saturday after security footage from inside the Capitol was released, claiming that the committee selectively ignored evidence.
“Why didn’t Liz Cheney and Adam Kizinger ever refer to any of these tapes?” Lee questioned on X, formerly Twitter, referring to video showing police assisting rioters inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Former Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) were the only Republican members of the committee.
“Maybe they never looked for them. Maybe they never even questioned their own narrative,” he continued. “Maybe they were just too busy selectively leaking the text messages of Republicans they wanted to defeat.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) began releasing 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol riots on Friday.

You just violated HIPPA and the first amendment, Milk. You cannot release video footage without the consent of everyone in it. Maybe try reading the Declaration of Independence

I honestly don’t get how the non-violent footage from Jan 6 matters very much. Sure, maybe it exposes some interesting tidbits that got under covered (and maybe not). But if see film of WWII troops playing cards and napping, I’m not like “ermagawd! They didn’t do any fighting!”

“It’s weird how they only talk about the eruption of Mt. St. Helens and not about the millions of years it laid dormant.
WHAT ELSE ARE GEOLOGISTS HIDING FROM US?!?!”

I’ve never liked the use of the word “insurrection.” It’s political valence is highly debatable. But on Jan 6 there was an indefensible, unpatriotic, and repugnant riot that screwed up the peaceful transfer of power. I don’t understand why any conservative would minimize that. https://t.co/WoHPBZxLk9

I remain stunned that sentient people claim images of beating up cops, chants of “hang Mike Pence,” etc. are “selective” or “one sided” b/c some other video balances that stuff out. That people who mocked “the mostly peaceful” spin on BLM riots offer this spin it’s even weirder https://t.co/UsAp3xRBtO
