   So is someone going to sue Kevin McCarthy and Fox News for this deal to hand over all the Capitol security footage from Jan. 6 to (checks notes) Tucker Carlson exclusively? How is that even remotely legal? @aclu

     @georgetakei @aclu One of us should demand access to the tapes. Then, if McCarthy says "no", we have grounds to sue under FOIA.

     @georgetakei @aclu Do it, Captain Sulu ! I will send a generous contribution to the funding of the project. And already support the ACLU - "card carrying membership status".

     @georgetakei @aclu It seems to me it is now all in the public domain and every news agency should be able to get the full kit under FOIA. And that isn't a bad thing. Perhaps that will result in another wave of media coverage to keep the awareness of Jan6 front-of-mind in the public.

     @georgetakei @aclu don't Senate Democrats have access to the videos? Why can't they release them?

     I believe bitcoin has replaced legality. It's all down to the moolah.

     I would think that every news agency would sue to have a copy themselves especially to prove whatever Fox slices it up that it is bogus.

     @movation @georgetakei @aclu The New York Times already has ongoing litigation over this footage. I imagine they will amend their complaint or bring a new motion in light of this nonsense.

     @georgetakei @aclu I am hoping that MSNBC or CNN will go for it

     @georgetakei @aclu It’s simple enough. Money makes it legal the same as it always has.
