The tapes are coming again. After the firing of Tucker Carlson by Fox News, the lone journalist who had access to the January 6 tapes no longer had a venue to report on more than he initially did. Now, House Republicans are releasing the tapes to more journalists.
This is good news, but there’s a huge asterisk that must be addressed. We weren’t promised a filtered view of the January 6 tapes through elite journalists. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said he would release all of the tapes to the public. That hasn’t happened, and unless something changes soon it appears it’s never going to happen.
Two of the journalists selected to receive the tapes are superb. It doesn’t get much better than John Solomon from Just The News and Julie Kelly from American Greatness when it comes to releasing such important information. A third unnamed journalist is also getting the tapes. Since they’re unnamed, we can assume that it’s either a news outlet that still hasn’t decided who’s going to take the lead on the project or it’s a leftist corporate media hack. We’ll know soon enough.
But letting journalists see the tapes and telling us what they found is a far cry from the huge potential benefits of releasing the tapes to the public. Unleashing the power of American patriots to find and disseminate useful information would be exponentially more powerful. We will get some truths from the journalists with access, but it’s impossible for them to find it all regardless of how big their teams are.
On a side note, it’s telling that Congresswoman Greene was selected to deliver the good but not great news. Ever since the GOP won a majority in the House, Greene has been in lockstep with McCarthy. What’s going on with that?
Here are the details of the release from Harold Hutchison from Daily Caller News Foundation:
Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Release of Jan. 6 Tapes to More Outlets: ‘Unfettered Access’
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced Wednesday that the tapes showing the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building would be released to more journalists.
John Solomon of JustTheNews.com, Julie Kelly of American Greatness and an unnamed outlet will receive “unfettered access” to the over 41,000 hours of video footage of the Capitol riot, the Georgia congresswoman posted on Twitter.
Huge news: As I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes.
Their reporting on it starts tomorrow!

“As I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes,” Greene tweeted. “Their reporting on it starts tomorrow!”
Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the Speaker of the House, previously provided then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, access to the tapes, Axios reported. Previous reports indicated that the amount of footage was 14,000 hours.
On March 6, Carlson aired video of the riot that showed Capitol Police officers escorting one protestor, the “QAnon shaman,” through the halls of the building. Carlson also showed video of Republican Sen. John Hawley of Missouri being escorted with other members of Congress from the Capitol, saying the Jan. 6 Committee selectively edited it to target Hawley.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York attacked Carlson for airing the footage and demanded that Fox News prevent Carlson from airing more footage. Fox News announced Carlson’s departure April 24.

MTG release all the tapes to a website that anyone can access. If not, you have been compromised.
She has been compromised, that’s obvious..
Anybody who hasn’t figured out “what’s going on” between MTG and McCarthy is a dunce. The MAGA maiden was moonstruck with that RINO toad who never was a prince and didn’t turn into MAGA Man when she kissed him. Instead, MTG just turned into another RINO swamp honey. She behaves like a school girl crush around McCarthy and thinks nobody notices. Puh-lease. She’s an embarrrassment.
yeah, it pretty much looking that way isn’t it…. damn fool….
Will Not.Happen.
I think these tapes would go a long way to put an end to the “Trumpsurrection” hoax and show the FBI and ANTIFA involvement. These tapes need to come out, even if they have to be leaked.
Those tapes belong to the American people.
Full stop with the BS
“Ever since the GOP won a majority in the House, Greene has been in lockstep with McCarthy. What’s going on with that?”
She is in lockstep with McCarthy because she is screwing McCarthy, watch the Body Language Ghost and see for yourself.
The video speaks for itself, but the body language lady explains it anyway… 4-minute video…
POSSIBLY THE REASON FOR HER HUBBY OF ALONG TIME TO DIVORCE HER
… my view is he’s thinking … wth… I like lumpy luntz , my longtime roommate…
McCarthy is a roomie with pollster Frank Luntz. He’s not doing MTG even tho she may be pining for McC. His pine is for Luntz…
Since keeping her precious committee assignment is the most important thing ever, MTG has released this as away to distract you from her vote tomorrow in favor of the debt ceiling fiasco.
cORRECT….as a possible mea culpa for practically begging lots of people to elect McCarthy as speaker, as he once again, as we all knew he would do…..LIES, AND THEN TURNS HIS BACK ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE….Green has done nothing for her district in GA…She has basically forgotten them. SHE HAS TURNED INTO A RINO. PEOPLE ARE TURNING ON HER IN GA. SHE IS ACTING LIKE A TYPICAL SENATOR, THAT THINKS SHE WAS ELECTED TO SAVE THE WORLD, INSTEAD OF WORKIN FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED HER. A stark contrast today was ANNA PAULINA LUNA on the war room….SHE IS THE EPITOME of a rep, along with the other 20 or so takin stands for the people that elected them, time will tell about Anna, she is a freshman, but seems authentic…GREEN WAS ALSO…BUT IT HAPPENS TO ALOT OF THEM…AND ITS HER TURN NOW, TO TURN INTO A RINO…SAD
Regardless of what is on the tapes, the people behind bars for J6 have paid dearly.
They should be released immediately.
Freedom loving Americans know who should be in prison. And it wasn’t/isn’t the J6’ers.
Please explain to me how Joe Biden received 81 million LEGITIMATE votes, and now has less than a 25% approval rating… I will wait.
Biteme actually received about 35M legitimate votes. Yes, there are that many people buying what he is selling. The remainder as you are aware is from dominion.
So which is it…14,000 hours or 41,000 hours….Is this a purposeful mistake, or simply a mistake….CONFUSION SETS IN ALREADY?
The promise was to release ALL to THE PUBLIC! Just another liar, lying.
MTG voted with McCarthy on the budget cave. She is a total fraud.
Either McCarthy is boinking MTG or MTG is Deep State. What has she accomplished besides getting the speakership for a pus traitor?
Trump backed McCarthy. McCarthy has the tapes that could help the J6 prisoners in their trials.
Something is not adding up, President Trump.
WTF is going on here?
But we will all feel better if Fox News fires (one of the FEW good hires for Trump) “milk toast” Kaylee.
Sorry Ms Greene, we ain’t buying it any longer. You said yes to McCarthy’s approval of the abomination of a budget. You haven’t released any tapes yet. I doubt you ever will. The 06 January protesters STILL rot in jail with little or no due process.
It pains me to say it but I do believe you have turned.
MTG has latched onto McCarthy as her ticket to power. She’s a fraud and always has been.
Go away Ms. Green, actions define you.
