Keith Olbermann Calls For Kevin McCarthy’s Indictment And Arrest For Giving Video To Tucker Carlson
Keith Olbermann called for Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s arrest because Kevin gave a video of January 6 to Fox News star Tucker Carlson. Keith said:
“Speaker Kevin McCarthy has jeopardized the security of every Representative and every Senator and every staffer, and the continuity of the government of the United States, and thus the safety of every citizen of the United States.
“And he has publicly admitted to, and boasted about, committing the act by which he did so. This is treasonous. Indict him and arrest him. We now know that Tucker Carlson gained access to the January 6 video by the deception of McCarthy and/or House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil.
“Steil asked the Capitol Police for a video terminal on which he personally could look at the video.
“Without warning the Capitol Police, McCarthy unilaterally gave Carlson access to that terminal.
“And then, yesterday, McCarthy not only admitted “he released” the video – he began to fundraise off his deception.
“The Speaker,” says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, “is needlessly exposing the Capitol complex to one of the worst security risks since 9/11.
“It also risks exposing the carefully laid out and highly guarded plans for the continuity of government, intended to preserve our democracy in the event of an attack.”
“These are not minor infractions, nor mere political conflicts.
“This is treachery. McCarthy admits to doing it. Indict him and arrest him.
“Special Counsel subpoenas Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner (Trump) and before you think they can’t try to evade it by making up yet another ludicrous privilege.”
