FFS. No, It DOES NOT "PROVE ENTRAPMENT." That footage just tells me that some of the Capitol Police officers were at best MAGA sympathizers and at worst insiders colluding with the Oathkeeper/Proud Boys plotters of this seditious scheme. And recall that several Capitol Police officers were disciplined and dismissed for conduct unbecoming. I'm betting the officer in this footage is one of the ones who got disciplined. |

Predictably, the Shaman's defense counsel in fact had the video:
"Prosecutors say that apart from 10 seconds that “implicated an evacuation route,” the rest of the video played by Carlson was released to Pezzola and Chansley by September 24, 2021, and the additional 10 seconds were released to all January 6 defendants on January 23, 2023." https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/12/politics/jacob-chansley-footage-tucker-carlson/index.html Everyone accusing the prosecution of Brady violations will surely now come apologize. |
Isn't that nice? Chansley pled on Sept. 1 - so what you are saying is that they gave him exculpatory information AFTER he pled guilty. And, his new defense counsel has huge issues with his original defense. That is part of the problem. Incompetent counsel. |
You get the counsel you hire. I am sure there are many people in jail who are not happy with their defense counsel. |
According to the ultra-MAGA 5th Circuit, Brady does not apply to guilty pleas. https://casetext.com/case/alvarez-v-city-of-brownsville-3#p392 |
Doesn't change the fact that Chansley's counsel had access to the video. Doesn't change the fact that Tucker Carlson is dishonestly only showing 4 minutes of video and not showing for example where Chansley refused to be escorted out. https://www.businessinsider.com/doj-qanon-shaman-chansley-footage-out-of-context-elon-musk-2023-3 Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson and the MAGAs are desperately trying to change the narrative but they are lying. |

| Why hasn’t Tucker released all the raw video? I wonder what he and Fox are hiding? |
I think Kevin McCarthy over-estimated the Tucker Carlson spin machine... when asked what releasing the video to Tucker accomplished, Qevin stumbled and struggled to come up with an answer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kevin-mccarthy-struggles-to-respond-when-asked-what-have-we-learned-about-the-capitol-riots-after-his-release-of-the-jan-6-tapes/ar-AA18yPhV |
They can say anything they want. They have to prove it. |
