Ex-Deputy Chief of Capitol Police: FBI withholding compiled video evidence from J6 prisoners, legal counsel

J.J. Pickett, former Deputy Chief of the Capitol Police on January 6th, discusses that day and how the criminal division of the Capitol Police spent the next six-months, “16 hours a day” identifying, tracking, and compiling video footage of individuals for the FBI that entered the Capitol on January 6th. Saying, “the FBI would send [Capitol officers] a picture of some kind of online clip, something of a person. And [the officers] would go to that area in the Capitol Building looking at the cameras, and it was kind of like a Where's Waldo. And they would find that person and then from there, they would follow their movement, both forward and back from that location, and basically stitch together a video of that person from the time they entered Capitol grounds until the time they exited Capitol grounds. And they would put all that into one clip.” The retired Deputy Chief said that to the best of his knowledge, “each person that was charged all capital, there is a full video of every every second,” from the areas that the police had cameras, “and that's how the FBI could say, This is what the person did.” Pickett commenting, that this is a body of evidence not previously known about before and, “the prosecution has to divulge all the information they have, the FBI, the Capitol Police have to divulge it all to the prosecutor. So they have it.”
