You know what though? If the Colorado court is basing this on the dubious impeachment for Jan 6, I'd welcome an appeal that does a forensic examination of that, based on the tapes. Of the security guard waving the shaman into the chambers, of the FBI involvement, Pelosi's daughter just happening to be there filming a bogus "documnetary" of our hero Democrats. I, for one, have questions.
Unfortunately, the lies of 1/6 have become fixed in the minds of much of the public. No amount of incontrovertible evidence will ever change this. Most of them still believe the Russia hoax was real, FFS.
They believe because they want to believe. It's much easier than thinking it through.
Have they, though? I know for the D half of the country they have, but I am doubtful they have in the rest of the country. Much like Hunters laptop, some 60% know it too be his, and not Russian Disinfo.
All of that to say that the narrative isn't working as well anymore.
And that's the problem -- the D half of the country. Even if you could convince them of all the wholesale corruption, scheming, and purely anti-democratic actions and policies of their party, they will still vote for whatever crook whose name ends with a (D) long, long before ever voting for an (R).
The only hope lies in the movable middle, the relatively tiny portion of voters -- in an tiny portion of States -- who ultimately decide elections. And while they lack the passion of hard-core partisans, they often lack the will to even get off the sofa to go and vote.
Honestly, i didn't pay much attention to the whole shitshow at the time, i just thought it was a bunch of posturing kabuki. But when i saw the clips of them being waved into the capital, Pelosi's daughter filming, and the DOJ hemming and hawing about exactly how many FBI were in the crowd, i absolutely had my doubts.
We know MPD had undercovers in the crowd because we can read the manual they got about the weekend.
We strongly suspect that "partner agencies" of the FBI had undercovers in the crowd based on emails on 1/6.
The idea these agencies had people in place but the FBI didn't doesn't even pass the smell test. -- remember the official narrative is that everybody was surprised by 1/6.
"The FBI did not have paid informants/agitators at the Capital in 1/9"
Both lies were spit out before they were swallowed.
As more and more of the embargoed video footage is released, the more impossible it becomes to deny how this was a pure psyop. Only the truly delusional are still all in.
My favorite is the strategically edited clip of MS Senator Josh Hawley running from the Senate chamber, played on a loop while suggesting he was the first Senator to flee. Tucker Carlson thankfully played us the full, unedited clip, which showed that actually Josh Hawley was the *last* Senator to flee and the that Democrat coalition were the first.
No matter what footage or other evidence is released, even the entire trove, would ever convince those who have bought into the Big Lie. It's an exact Venn circle overlap of the TDS crowd. They are immune to facts while captivated by logically and physically impossible narrative yarns.
The stronger Trump becomes the stronger that stench of desperation. Like wounded, caged animals, they will strike out at anything moving.

That's all we've been asking for this whole time -- which makes me think I know exactly what's on the tapes (and what isn't).

Hiya. Commander!

Reportedly the Supreme Court has accepted a J6 case that affects 200 or so "insurrectionists" and has ramifications for Trump himself.
Thanks. Still not buying the ruling though.
The Colorado one? Me either. It is stunningly bad.
What is this craving for evidence and wanting more?
To what end?
Fetishism.
