'Dangerous' Jan. 6 defendant wants to delay trial to scour riot video released to Tucker Carlson

Ryan Nichols, an East Texas man accused of using chemical spray on police at the Capitol in the January 6 attack, received permission from the judge overseeing his case to pore over the tens of thousands of hours of security footage House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) turned over to Fox News, reported Politico.

"Jan. 6 defendant Ryan Nichols streamed some of the most violent rhetoric from the Capitol and was deemed dangerous by the federal judge overseeing his case. His lawyer says he’s been in touch with a House GOP aide about accessing 'abandoned' Jan. 6 committee files," wrote Cheney. "In a bizarre filing, Nichols’ lawyers, say they want to delay his trial to review the 41,000 hours of footage Speaker McCarthy made available to Tucker Carlson — and they want it released publicly for crowdsourcing purposes."

Because Trump has promised everyone of them pardons if he gets back in office. I don't think Trump would do it, but he's said as mcuh.

A full public release can be expected to bring unintended consequences.
As in providing crowdsourced detectives much more evidence certain to be unwelcome among unidentified insurrectionists.
