Former President Donald Trump called for the release of detainees and political prisoners from the January 6th, 2021 riot at the Capitol after bombshell new videos offer a counter-narrative to several aspects of the so-called ‘insurrection.’
Trump offered praise to Tucker Carlson after the Fox News host released a series of previously unseen videos which counter several claims made by the media and Democrats since that fateful day.

The videos show Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick appearing well and amply defended from physicality, despite claims he was murdered by the mob, as well as evidence that the ‘Qanon Shaman’ was readily escorted by police around the complex, seemingly contradicting assertions that his behavior warranted a multi-year prison sentence.
And there was much, much more.
Trump called the dramatic new evidence one of the ‘biggest scoops’ in American journalism.

“The New Surveillance Footage of the January 6th Events sheds an entirely different light on what actually happened,” he wrote on his Truth Social media platform. “LET THEM GO FREE, NOW!”

Trump Calls for Release of January 6th Prisoners
Trump also praised House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for showing “great courage” in releasing over 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from the January 6th riot so that Tucker Carlson could properly review and report on the actual findings.
“A whole new, and completely opposite, picture has now been indelibly painted,” he contends. “The Unselect Committee LIED, and should be prosecuted for their actions.”
In another posting on Truth Social, the former President reiterated his call for those charged for their relatively mundane actions that day to be released.
“Let the January 6 prisoners go,” he wrote in an all-caps screed. “They were convicted, or are awaiting trial, based on a giant lie, a radical left con job.
Trump added, “Thank you to Tucker Carlson and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy for what you both have done. New video footage is irrefutable!”

Vows to Pardon J6 Prisoners
Donald Trump has long contended that, should he win re-election in 2024, he would issue pardons to many of the individuals charged and convicted for their actions during the January 6th riot.

Not for actual thugs who sought violence that day but rather, for those whose mere presence led to prison time.
I asked President Trump if he would pardon the non-violent January 6th defendants if he is back in the White House in 2024.
His response: “We will be looking at that very strongly. I think you know the answer.” pic.twitter.com/oboIQKIwDE

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spoke to the former President and First Lady Melania Trump, said the couple was “just sick” over some of the January 6 defendants and the way they’ve been pursued since the Capitol riot.
This past December, Trump recorded a video message aimed specifically at the J6 defendants.
“People have been treated unconstitutionally, in my opinion, and very, very unfairly, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it,” said Trump, speaking before the group known as Patriot Freedom Project.
“It’s the weaponization of the Department of Justice, and we can’t let this happen in this country.”

Squishy Republicans like Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have both strongly condemned Trump for siding with the January 6th protesters and promising pardons.
Will they still oppose such action now that we have definitive video proof that the prevailing narrative of that day was a lie?

Why did Trump let these patriots rot for years in the gulag being tortured, one was beaten so badly he lost an eye, others raped, some committed suicide ? Now he say to release them ! You have got to be kidding me.
Why doesn’t Trump come out against the death jab ?
Don’t hitch your wagon to a Trojan Horse !
The prisoners have been unjustly held. Freedom loving AMERICANS demand their immediate release. We must arrest a put on trial the usurpation participants in Washington along with the Globalist Billionaires who are bankrolling this subversion of our Republic.
Many innocent citizens have had their lives destroyed and their Families torn apart thanks entirely to the lieing, schemeing scum comprising parts of the Democrat Party and their apparatchiks in the weaponised DoJ, FBI and Mass Media.
Full recompense MUST be paid to those who have been victimised – but the IMMEDIATE concern must be to SET THEM FREE !!!
Then – as a priority – JUSTICE ( proper Justice, NOT the CR^P dished out courtesy of the present DoJ who should face CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS for their efforts in DENYING JUSTICE ) for the MURDERER of Mom and Veteran, a lawful UNARMED and PEACEFUL Protester, ASHLI BABBITT who was in his owm admission AMBUSHED & FOULLY MURDERED by a COWARDLY Capitol Police “Lieutenant” !
JUSTICE FOR ASHLI !!!
I voted for him twice, but now understand that Trump is a phony. Why has it taken him two whole years to stand up for these oppressed people who are only in solitary because of him? Sure, Pelosi manipulated and took advantage of Trump’s rally by ignoring additional security and encouraging fake protestors, but in my view if Trump hadn’t originally called for this demonstration, these poor people wouldn’t be in jail and the demonic party wouldn’t have all this distraction and false outrage to hide their stolen election.
The Jan 6th committee needs to trade places with the jan 6th prisoners.
If Trump was a real “leader”, he would have gathered a militia unit and rescued the people from prison by force.
That’s assuming the “J6” nonsense is even remotely real. Seeing as it was on TV, I have huge doubts about the entire story…and no, I don’t care about which imaginary “side” you’re on.
Regardless, if it IS real, then a lawful military-style intervention would have been called for.
Any of you see Trump call up the citizen militia to rescue anyone?
No?
Because that’s what I would have done.
It’s looking at this point like both the Bidentards and the Trumptards have both been misled by bad actors.
Setting the political prisoners free sounds good, but I think the un-select committee and it’s abettors need to spend a couple of years in the gulag before they’re charged and tried.
Dam straight, they should receive the same punishment!!! And no lawyers or bail !!
Thinking people with an IQ over 12, knew all along this was a set-up
Trumps “Warp Speed” has injured or killed millions, including tens of thousands of children. WHY WON’T TRUMP COME OUT AGAINST THE CLOT SHOT ? Obviously, Trump is owned by the globalist.
YES!!!! Free them all!! We’ve been hoodwinked by the democrats… again. Lying has become their weapon of choice! The three stooges heading up the J6 committee should be brought up on charges of lying to the American people and instigating a fraud on the people!! Geez, democrats are the bottom of the political barrel… scum eaters! Lying scum eaters.
This should infuriate every US Citizen in the Country. Fraud was committed against us by this committee. Withholding evidence by this kangaroo court should land them in jail. Free the Political Prisoners now! Thank you, Carlson. The real Insurrection came from the Left Dsmarxists. Trump 2024!
prosecute the committee members that played a part in the kangaroo proceedings—and Pelosi.
