Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for leading the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy. There is dispute over how he got into the Capitol building, but internal surveillance video reveals that once inside, Capitol Police officers acted as his tour guides. They took him to multiple entrances, tried to open locked doors for him, and never attempted to slow him down. Chansley even thanked the officers in a prayer on the floor of the senate. This starkly contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.

During the protest, some individuals had plans for violence, but most were peaceful. The use of rubber bullets and tear gas angered the protesters, leading them to charge towards the Capitol. Contrary to what was shown in the released video footage, the Capitol police actually opened the doors and allowed people to enter. The protesters were then subjected to a massive manhunt and arrested for being in the Capitol illegally. This is seen as entrapment, where the government manipulates individuals into committing acts they wouldn't have done otherwise. Similar tactics were used in the past against civil rights activists and left-leaning individuals. This is a civil rights and civil liberties issue that needs to be addressed. The speaker believes that all peaceful protesters should be pardoned.

Speaker 0 highlights the aftermath of the January 6th violence at the Capitol, with over 1200 people charged and almost 900 convicted or pleading guilty. Trump, instead of labeling them criminals, refers to the insurrectionists as patriots and even promises to pardon them if he regains office. While Trump claims there was love on that day, the nation, including law enforcement, witnessed hate and violence. A Capitol police officer describes it as a medieval battle and expresses fear.

Prosecution of misdemeanor defendants was critically important because there were no small crimes on January 6th. Misdemeanor defendants were accused of trespassing at the Capitol, knowingly remaining where they shouldn't have, and their presence enabled mob violence. The volume of people who stormed the Capitol contributed to the violence and damage. Many misdemeanor defendants understood what the violent rioters meant to accomplish and knowingly lent their bodies to the effort. The rioters were treated fairly, with skilled attorneys, opportunities to challenge evidence, and jury trials. Their constitutional rights were protected, and they were convicted in overwhelming numbers.

Prosecutions have primarily targeted individuals who entered the building or engaged in violent conduct on Capitol grounds. However, anyone who knowingly entered the restricted area without authorization committed a federal crime. It’s clear that thousands occupied an area where they were not authorized to be.

We thank you for your service in protecting our country. However, there are questions about what exactly was being protected. Security footage shows that individuals were allowed to enter without resistance, without weapons, almost like a guided tour. It's important to note that the only casualty was Ashley Babbit, who was shot by Capitol Police. So, it raises the question of what exactly was saved that day. The speaker mentions having written a book before going to break.

It's crucial for everyone to forget what was said that day. A call was made to march to the Capitol to peacefully express voices, but it escalated into a violent siege. Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler highlighted the severity of the situation, noting that a Capitol police officer was killed by the mob, which also defaced symbols of freedom. The rioters were actively searching for the vice president and the speaker of the house.

The speaker learned about the Capitol riot on January 6th and was disgusted and afraid. They were afraid of what the rioters might do and that they would not face consequences. The speaker is proud to have joined the effort to hold them accountable. The Justice Department charged over 1,500 people with crimes and obtained convictions against almost 1,300. The speaker states that this ensured the rioters would face accountability and created a public record of the crimes committed that day.

I was appalled by the violence and destruction in the Capitol. It was criminal behavior, domestic terrorism. They were not protesters, but a riotous mob. President Trump entertained conspiracy theories and only after hours of violence did he tell them to leave. We need to trust this committee's work and get the facts out. Officer Brian Sicknick died defending the capital, but there is surveillance footage of him walking inside after he was supposedly killed. Some in the crowd were racist and attacked people. These are Trump terrorists, and the Democrats, along with Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, lied about what happened. They are liars.

On January 6th, the speaker was present at the Capitol as Vice President-elect and acting senator. The speaker states that the president of the United States incited a violent mob to attack and desecrate the nation’s capital. According to the speaker, 140 law enforcement officers were injured, and some died. The former president has been indicted and impeached for this. The speaker recalls Charlottesville, where a mob carried tiki torches and spewed anti-Semitic hate, and the president said there were fine people on each side. The speaker also recalls the former president telling the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by. The speaker concludes by saying, “we don't have to go back.”

The death of Officer Brian Sicknick remains unclear, but video evidence shows he was not beaten to death by Trump supporters at the Capitol. Despite claims from media and politicians, including Liz Cheney and Anderson Cooper, that he was murdered during the January 6 events, these assertions are false. Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that five officers died that day, but this includes officers who later died by suicide, not directly related to the events of January 6. The actual number of officers assaulted is reported as over 100, which is unacceptable, but labeling January 6 as the worst assault on the U.S. government since the Civil War is exaggerated.

Speaker 0: The material comes from the United States Department of Justice and shows surveillance video of the Upper West Terrace doors of The United States Capitol on 01/06/2021. Just after 02:33 PM, police officers allow five individuals to exit the Capitol through the Upper West Terrace doors. At 02:34 PM, a gentleman holding an American flag catches the door just as the last protester leaves. He turns to the crowd outside and waves towards the door. At the same time at 02:34 PM, a gentleman with a red cap approaches the interior doors. As the police officer notices him, he continues to approach. The police officer holds the door for the protester as he enters the Capitol undeterred. At 02:35 PM, a large group enters the interior of the Capitol, police standing at the doors. As a steady stream of protesters enters through the Upper West Terrace doors, they can see police officers standing at the interior doors allowing people to pass. Around 250 protesters entered through the Upper West Terrace doors that day, many of which are charged with felony obstruction for entering a building undeterred. At 02:36 PM, a police officer walks towards the exit against the flow of protesters. He then turns around and begins walking with the protesters. He turned his back to them and never took a posture that was defensive or that would indicate that he feared being harmed. At 02:36:54, the police allow the crowd to pass. At 02:38 PM, a woman with a sock hat and a camera with a sound recording device attached to it films police as they allow people to enter. A steady stream of individuals pass by police as they stand aside without deterring protesters for several minutes. At 02:40 PM, police stopped the protesters to speak to them again. At 02:44 PM, a police officer in the bottom of the screen can be seen speaking to the officers in front of them and pulling them away, indicating to the crowd that they are allowed to enter. The officers then turn their backs to the crowd, which indicate that they did not possess fear of the protesters. The officers then escort the crowd into the interior of the Capitol. At 02:47 PM, police wearing yellow gear close the doors. Police presence then increases and no more individual.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for his role in the violent insurrection at the Capitol. While there is dispute over how he gained access to the building, internal surveillance videos clearly show that once inside, Capitol Police officers did not stop him. In fact, they acted as his tour guides, taking him to multiple entrances and even attempting to open locked doors for him. At least 9 officers were within touching distance of Chansley, but none of them tried to slow him down. Chansley saw the Capitol Police as his allies and even thanked them in a prayer on the senate floor. This starkly contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.

I captured footage of Capitol Police removing barricades, inviting people onto the Capitol grounds, and even into the Capitol itself. I also recorded instances of Capitol Police attacking protesters without any provocation. Additionally, I have footage of Capitol Police instructing people to enter the Capitol to avoid being harmed during the incident. Despite not committing any crimes myself, I have evidence of crimes committed by our government.

You protected our democratic institutions from violence, charging over 1,500 individuals for criminal actions during the January 6th attack and the events leading up to it. You held accountable those who assaulted law enforcement officers defending the Capitol that day. Your commitment to justice was unwavering, guided solely by the facts and the law. I am proud of the work you accomplished and the manner in which you executed it.

Many people entered the Capitol building without permission, which is a federal crime. Our focus is on prosecuting those who entered the building or engaged in violent or corrupt behavior on Capitol grounds. However, it's important to note that even those who entered the restricted area without authorization committed a federal crime. Thousands of people occupied an area where they were not allowed to be in the first place.

The situation surrounding January 6 defendants has resulted in immense suffering, with some individuals taking their own lives and families being torn apart. There’s no way to compensate for the damage done. Accountability is crucial; for instance, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves should face disbarment and potential criminal referrals for his actions against these individuals. Judges in Washington, D.C., have misused their authority, imprisoning people who weren’t even in the Capitol, labeling them as terrorists. Members of Congress involved in the January 6 committee, like Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson, should also be scrutinized. While progress has been slow, there’s hope for more accountability now that there’s a shift in power. However, as one of 435 members, the ability to enact change is limited.

An individual provided video footage purportedly showing two federal agents attacking the Capitol on January 6th. A defense attorney for the Oath Keepers filed a motion identifying 80 "suspicious actors" and "material witnesses" present at the Capitol on January 6th who have not been arrested or charged. These individuals were concentrated in areas where trouble occurred, including the East Side and the Columbus doors. The attorney alleges some worked in tactical two-man teams and were later seen on the terrace. He seeks to identify them using facial recognition and questions if the events were staged. A radio journalist captured footage of two individuals he believed to be government agents. One was encouraging people to enter the Capitol after a window had been broken, even pulling out a pane of glass himself. When he realized he was being filmed, he blamed a protester and shoved him. The other individual was holding open the Columbus doors with a wooden pole and pushing people inside. The journalist who shot the video said the man shoved him. One person claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th.

I was at the Capitol on January 6 as the vice president-elect and an acting senator. On that day, the president incited a violent mob to attack our nation's capital, resulting in injuries to 40 law enforcement officers and some fatalities. The former president has been indicted and impeached for this. This incident is not isolated; we must remember Charlottesville, where a mob displayed anti-Semitic hate, and the president referred to "fine people on each side." Additionally, he told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by." For those who recall January 6, we don't need to revisit the past.

On January 6th, a mob breached the Capitol building, resulting in the deaths of five police officers. The Democratic Party and the national news media quickly labeled it a deadly insurrection, a phrase that carried emotional weight. However, surveillance footage from inside the Capitol showed mostly chaotic but peaceful scenes. The media also falsely claimed that Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered with a fire extinguisher, which was later retracted. The video evidence disproves this claim, as Sicknick can be seen walking in the Capitol after the alleged attack. The January 6th committee, aware of this footage, chose not to release it to the public, revealing their dishonesty.

Specific observations indicate police officers and Capitol Police entered rooms in uniform and emerged as Trump supporters and construction workers. This raises questions about why video evidence hasn't been released. Navigating the Capitol's maze-like layout requires extensive familiarity. Trump supporters leading the way inside the Capitol before doors opened likely coordinated with FBI agents and assets embedded in the crowd, possibly for months. The speaker believes the American people deserve to know this truth.

We were federal prosecutors on the Justice Department's Capitol attack investigation until the Trump administration fired us on January 31st. Why were we fired? Because we did our job. We followed the facts and the law. What we did was justice for 140 police officers wounded on January 6th, 2021. We were hired to prosecute cases from the riot, and none of our defendants were acquitted, which shows the evidence was overwhelming. But last month, the president pardoned even the most violent convicts, calling them "hostages." Letters of termination hit the Justice Department, calling the prosecution itself a grave national injustice. Anyone who has watched videos of January 6th knows that prosecuting the rioters was not the injustice. The injustice has been the Department of Justice turning its back on law enforcement officers, members of Congress, and all the victims affected.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, received a nearly 4-year prison sentence for leading the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy. There is dispute over how he entered the Capitol building, but internal surveillance videos reveal what happened once he was inside.
