    Somebody help me, I don’t understand what this is about. The article doesn’t make clear what earth shattering information was deliberately kept hidden. Cops uncuffed somebody? Some of the cops were complicit? Seriously, I am not getting it.

      With new footage, conservatives can counter the narrative that rioters rioted in the Capitol and present them as peaceful protectors that fist-bumped Capitol police.

      I’m too am not really sure how that erases the conclusions of the J6 committee. But Americans will definitely eat it up.

        Ah, ok thanx. It seems difficult to recast the story of those who shit in the hallways of the nation’s capital and tracked it all over the building as the good guys.

      Multiple conclusions

      1: The commitee used it as propaganda, and wanted to throw protestors in jail

      2: There was no riot, just a peaceful protest

      3: Entrapment

      4: Agent provocateurs

      5: Something shady went down
