    The Jan 6th commitee KNEW the truth but chose to cover it up for their own political reasons . These gentlemen are American heros for coming forth with the truth , regardless of how it affects them , good or bad .People that's true bravery .

    Nobody has more respect for our military and law enforcement than I do. But with all due respect i heard him say absolutely nothing. And to read some of these comments saying Jan 6th was a sham? Wow! You’ll just do and say anything to pretend it didn’t happen. Wtf !

    Don't know if anyone else does this, but I always watch the people behind whoever is speaking .Watching the faces on the men on either side of the Colonel is telling. One looks resigned and a little embarrassed. The older guy goes from staring daggers to excessive blinking to 'uh-oh' quite quickly!

    As an attorney, he has no reason to lie. That should tell anyone what they need to know. 6 Jan was a Coup attempt, pure & simple.

      Yeah right, a coup attempt by people who had no guns! How could that have stood even if they totally occupied the capital! It was a riot claim and simple! Hey let's go take over the US government! What about weapons? We don't need them!
