A federal judge slammed the Jan. 6 riot segment former Fox anchor Tucker Carlson hosted in March 2023 — after receiving exclusive access to the Capitol building security footage from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — calling the broadcast “replete with misstatements and misrepresentations … too numerous to count.”
The problem, of course, is that Judge Lamberth’s opinion will never penetrate the Fox Bubble, at least not accurately.
SO!
Making shit up is now getting attention from federal judges? The horror…where will it end?

Sorry Chansley. If you want to play, you have to pay.
Nice try McCarthy, but you don’t get to hand out pardons.
Chansley should get a new trial. This time, no plea deal, no time off for good behavior and for the first time, a sentence more in keeping with the DOJ recommendations (and on the high side at that!).
Unless I’m misreading Marcy Wheeler, in the discovery process before the trial Chansley’s defense already got access to pretty much all the footage (except one ten-second clip) Carlson showed on TV. C’s lawyer’s explanation? “The prosecution gave us too much videotape.” Too much potentially exculpatory evidence. Nice try, pal.
Would do my cardio discipline wonders in the morning if all I had to do was beat the hell out of this guy and 2 of his friends.
Think of my health, Tucker. You bow-tie rage fluffer.
Surely at least some of the “good folks” who urinated and defecated all over the Capitol have been caught on video. I would hope that they’ve all been ID’d and charged.
And I wonder if *ucker’s staff got to see these despicable and gross acts.
Royce Lamberth was appointed by Ronald Reagan, by the way.
They. Didn’t. Care.
More succinct Judge Royce Lamberth:
“Exculpatory. You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
No, it’s because he got O’Reilly’s slot.
Didn’t matter who they put in before Hannity, 8pm’s the slot that gets the prime ratings. Whoever they put in there would’ve been saying exactly the same things.
Good lord, prosecutors gave him too much video evidence but missed a short clip so his guilty plea should be null and void. Give me strength.
The Judge did not disappoint and delivered a bit of a burn.
But this Court cannot and will not reject the evidence before it. Nor should the
public. Members of the public who are concerned about the evidence presented in Mr. Chansley’s
case and others like may view the public docket and even attend court proceedings in these cases.
Those ofus who have presided over dozens of cases arising from, listened to hundreds of hours of
testimony describing, and reviewed thousands of pages of briefing about the attack on our
democracy of January 6 know all too well that neither the events of that day nor any particular
defendant’s involvement can be fully captured in a seconds-long video carelessly, or perhaps even cynically, aired in a television segment or attached to a tweet.
Chansley’s argument: I know the cops caught me speeding but there is all this footage of when I wasn’t speeding. Surely that lets me off the hook!
A little surprised the Judge did not tag them for making a frivolous argument in bad faith and/or contempt of court.
Your honor, the security video shows that I held the door open for a lady entering the bank as I was leaving after robing it, so the video evidence showing me being courteous should absolve me from my previously pleading guilty to bank robbery.
Which means he’s seen a thing or two in his time on the bench.
Besides this current iteration of the GOP is not the same GOP party that Reagan belonged to.
You know, this is precisely correct.
So what if the prosecution has video of me murdering someone, and chopping their corpse up into manageable pieces for easier disposal? There’s tons of exculpatory evidence. There are, at this instant, more than 7 billion people that I clearly did NOT murder, because they’re all still quite undeniably alive. Why does that seem to count for nothing? I am being RAILROADED by “woke” prosecutors!
And here I thought that a shaman had access to all kinds of supernatural powers that could make his sentence disappear. I think he should have his license to practice shamanism revoked. Is there a Shaman Disciplinary Committee over there at the shaman bar?
