It’s been over 34 months since the events of the 2020 election and January 6th, 2021, sparked a growing fissure in public trust. Those two historic occurrences began public and private debates over facts that still rage unresolved today. Do we the public know enough truth to make informed decisions about either of those events? Have we seen and heard all the actual facts? Is the insurrection narrative that the mainstream media and the Biden administration have been declaring so vehemently a true and accurate representation of what happened?

The J6 defendants, families, attorneys, investigators and now a growing segment of the American public, have been demanding the release of the tens of thousands of hours of Capitol security videos and body cams of that day to settle the debate and prove the facts of what happened in and around the capitol on Jan. 6th. But they got only crickets in response from Congress and Nancy Pelosi.
The now former speaker of the house, Kevin McCarthy, promised to release all the videos after being forced to put it in writing in order to win that seat of power. But in the end, and despite having ample time to honor his promise, he failed to deliver. To appease the outcries, he released a few tantalizing and carefully selected minutes to the press, while obstructing any meaningful investigations into the bulk of the data using the smoke screen of national security.
The new owner of that House of Representatives throne, Speaker Mike Johnson, began to roll out hundreds of hours of internal CCTV cameras on the House website Friday Nov. 17th. Though many are cheering and celebrating these initial releases, there remains a great public misunderstanding of what the release of these videos actually means when it comes to discovering the truth. Friday’s release saw just a few hundred hours of corridor and portal cams. Releasing this immense cache in dribbles is just another slow walking of the truth, when in reality it would be just as easy to release them all at once.
Beyond the issues of releasing the material quickly comes the question: What now?
How do you investigate the over 40,000 hours of video effectively? Is that all the evidence? What about the MPD body cam footage, not included in Johnson’s announcement?
Gary McBride of M5NewsGate.com, a J6 video investigator, pointed out that just processing one 60-minute segment, one single hour of full speed video, can take tens of hours. Gary has experience in that, having created the video series that exposed the actual facts in Kyle Fitzsimon’s case — disproving the DoJ’s charge of assault. He was still found guilty. M5News has released scores of examined and curated CCTV Videos and publishes them on Rumble for the public to watch. When asked how he felt about the release of the videos, he had a warning about the immense task it represented.
