not only that any Brady material anywhere in those tapes would likely already be known to the prosecution and already provided to the defendants, but that the tendentious videos that pop up from time to time are often just clickbaity time-wasters. As you said, reading is always much more efficient than watching a video, especially where the maker of the video is selling a product - maybe just himself - and often doesn't know what he's talking about anyhow. I am not concerned about undisclosed Brady material in the videos (although some of the insurrectionist-defendants will surely claim there is some), because there's nothing on those tapes relevant to Jack Smith's prosecution of TFG et al. that he doesn't already have.

I doubt very much that's the reason. The defendants already got all their Brady evidence Ocelot II Mar 2023 #2
