Rep. Massie's Sharp Eye Picks up Big Question in Jan. 6 Footage

As we reported earlier, Tucker Carlson dropped some of the fascinating clips that they’d seen after reviewing some of the more than 40,000 hours of video footage of what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Those clips tend to blow up some of the narratives that the Democrats have pushed about that day.

After he released those clips, Tucker spoke with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). Massie said that he thought it was “poppycock” that Democrats didn’t want the video footage released because of security. He said he’s one of the people that’s supposed to be protected and he doesn’t have any problem with them being released and he thinks everyone should see them.

Massie pointed to a new Rasmussen poll that indicates 80 percent of Americans think that the video footage should be released, including 78 percent of Democrats and 86 percent of Republicans.

That poll also found that 61 percent thought it was at least somewhat likely that “undercover government agents” helped to provoke the riot.

Massie said that they also needed to get a “complete catalog of all of the Feds who were there.” “Tell us who they were, and let’s see what they did,” Massie said. Massie noted there was some “really strange behavior of people behind the police lines, in plain clothes, like touching them [the officers] on the shoulder, talking in their ear, walking around boundaries as if they weren’t even there.”

So who were these people in the plainclothes behind the police lines, touching the cops on the shoulder and talking in their ears? One would naturally conclude from their behavior that they were somehow in some way associated, maybe federal agents of some kind. What were they doing there and who were they? And how many were there? We saw previous attempts to explore that question, such as when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled an FBI official last year. Unfortunately, the Biden team hasn’t wanted to give us the straight answers to that question and they just keep ducking it.
