Was Alvin Bragg’s out-of-the blue, predicted arrest of Donald Trump intended as a Replacement for the Jan. 6 “Insurrection”?
A brief look back at the timing of Bragg’s first and so far, failed indictment of the U.S. populist president seems to suggest that.
The credibility of the J6 committee was in tatters even before Fox News host Tucker Carlson came along to expose it.
And exposing the lies of the Committee is exactly what Tucker Carlson did.
A quick look back at the trajectory of the Bragg attempt on the indictment of Trump proves irrefutably that the following conclusion is TRUTH:
It was just one short week after the Carlson exposé of the J6 film footage that George Soros-funded Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg let the Internet world know what his intentions for Donald Trump were.
Below is the exact timeline of how it all came down:
March 6, 2023: ‘They Are Lying’: Tucker Carlson Reveals New Details From Exclusive Jan. 6 Video Footage
“Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that his show will air Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol footage this week and claimed it will show that federal and congressional officials “are lying” to Americans. (Epoch Times, March 6, 2023)
“The defenders of democracy are defending democracy again,” the Fox News host said last week. “They’re telling you it’s really, really dangerous. And anyone would get to see the thousands of hours of surveillance footage from January 6, which has been hidden from the public for two years as a tiny group of people gets to make up stories about what happened that day and change the country on the basis of those stories.”
“How does that work exactly?” he asked. “Well, it’s not democracy, of course. It’s building a bulwark against your lies being revealed. And they are lying. And we know that because we’ve been looking at the tape.”
"In a March 3 follow-up post on Twitter, Carlson wrote that “the results of our investigation will air Monday and Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET on the Fox News Channel,” referring to his timeslot. Carlson did not provide further details about what has been “hidden from the public.”
"It was confirmed by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last month that he provided the popular Fox host with more than 41,000 hours of Jan. 6 Capitol security footage, granting Carlson exclusive access. McCarthy said that after Carlson is finished, the footage would be released to the public at a later, undisclosed time.
"The move only gives Fox News the surveillance footage, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers as well as some conservative figures. A handful of corporate media media outlets sent letters to McCarthy and demanded access to the footage, claiming there are concerns Carlson will promote a biased narrative.
"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday told CNN’s “State of the Union” that there is no indication that U.S. Capitol Police officials “have vetted that footage” sent to Carlson. “It is my hope and expectation that that will absolutely occur,” he said in an attempt to cast McCarthy’s decision as one that imperils Capitol security procedures.
"Last month, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced on Steve Bannon’s podcast he would file a lawsuit against McCarthy to acquire the footage, claiming that only providing the tapes to Fox News injures his new network, LindellTV. He contended that McCarthy is violating his constitutional rights.
Notice no reference to the fact that Carlson got the film footage from McCarthy because he was the only media representative who asked for it.
“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in February criticized McCarthy for what he said was “needlessly exposing the Capitol complex to one of the worst security risks since 9/11” in giving the footage to Carlson. Schumer did not elaborate. (Epoch Times)
“Responding to the criticism, McCarthy told the New York Times that he released the footage as a promise to Republicans. “I was asked in the press about these tapes, and I said they do belong to the American public. I think sunshine lets everybody make their own judgment,” the California Republican said.
Support Canada Free Press
“In other public comments, the House speaker has said the American public has the right see what really happened on Jan. 6. He also said Democrats engaged in a partisan and improper witch hunt targeting Trump and former administration officials during the last Congress.
‘Controlled Access’
“In the meantime, some House Republicans have signaled that Carlson and his team don’t have unfettered access to the footage. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), the head of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, told news outlets last week that his committee is working with the Capitol Police and House sergeant-at-arms to make sure no footage released to the public poses a national security risk.
Speaking also to CBS News, Loudermilk said Fox News’ staff “may request any particular clips they may need, then we’ll make sure there’s nothing sensitive, nothing classified, including escape routes … we don’t want al-Qaeda to know certain things.”
al-Qaeda? Puleeze!
So, from March 6 to about March 15, all news oxygen belonged to J6.
Interesting to note that on March 15, convicted felon Michael Cohen was before a Grand Jury giving testimony.
By Friday, March 17 rumors of Trump charges and imminent indictment hit the news. On Saturday, March 18 Trump up posted on Truth Social that he was going to be arrested on Tuesday, March 21.
As Tuesday rolled into Wednesday, and rolled into Thursday—now talking about indictments next week, allowed the Democrats to keep control of the media narrative, which kept the nation spellbound.
“Democrats are more focused on targeting political opponents than protecting its citizens. (Washington Times, March 17, 2023)
“If we are to believe the news, the district attorneys in Fulton County, Georgia, and Manhattan will soon announce indictments of Donald Trump.
“The New York indictment looks especially imminent.”
"Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is hellbent on charging Mr. Trump. In fact, the New York County District Attorney’s Office has been searching for any way to charge the former president since 2017. The investigation has poured over former President Trump’s personal and business life. They’ve reportedly settled on charging Mr. Trump with the non-crime of his attorney Michael Cohen paying Stormy Daniels settlement money.”
“Even The New York Times admits the case is a stretch: (More...)
“The U.S. Secret Service is coordinating security plans with the New York Police Department in the event that former President Donald Trump is indicted and arraigned in an open courtroom in Manhattan, according to sources. (ABC News, March 20, 2023)
The two agencies had a call Monday to discuss logistics, including court security and how Trump would potentially surrender for booking and processing, according to sources briefed on the discussions.”
Meanwhile, Bragg’s plans seem to have blown up in his face. The talk of arresting Trump seems to have died down, with only the protest screams of the alley cats of the Congress still heard in the background.
Thank You, Tucker Carlson for letting the cat out of the bag in a brilliant exposé, in spite of it coming from untrustworthy Fox News.
The Truth you brought forth should set the J6 political prisoners free.
