Newly released J6 bodycam footage shows one Metropolitan Police Department officer expressing discontent that they had been “set up.”
The bodycam footage of MPD officer Lawrence Lazewski reveals an interaction between officers where one says “they set us up.”
Although House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson a treasure trove of J6 security footage, the video comes from the trial of J6 defendant William Pope.
Kyle Becker explained at The Wildfire Newsletter:
Newly released bodycam footage obtained due to the court trial of Jan. 6 defendant William Pope of Topeka, Kansas shows uniformed officers discussing how to spot "non-uniform" agents. In addition, the released videos show that undercover officers climbed barricades and urged protesters to go toward the Capitol Building. MPD bicycle officers stopped four armed men in plainclothes that turned out to be law enforcement agents. Another video shows a man walking behind Ashli Babbitt, the woman fatally slain by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, and predicted that “someone will get shot." There is also a new wrinkle in the activities of Ray Epps and Ryan Samsel on the day of the Capitol Riots.
Here's the footage:

The J6 narrative of an 'insurrection' is collapsing faster than a House of Cards.
Additional video evidence is revealing what took place that day at the U.S. Capitol.
A complete setup!
Tucker Carlson On The January 6th Footage: ‘It Does Contradict That Story’ We’ve Been Told
The Wildfire Newsletter provided a transcript from the video above:
The bodycam of MPD officer Lawrence Lazewski shows him and another MPD officer expressing the belief police had been “set up” on January 6.
After nearly 90 minutes on the police line on the west front of the Capitol, Lazewski retreated to the Upper West Terrace at 2:33 p.m. He approached a group of other officers, one of whom was engaged in an animated discussion.
“They set us the [expletive] up,” the officer said. “That’s what they did. They set us up."
“They set up [Unit] 64, absolutely, and then they ask you all to come two hours later. They set us up.”
Lazewski said, “They needed everybody right away,” to which the other officer replied, “Nah, right away, they set us the [expletive] up. We ain’t got [expletive].”
“I didn’t realize how bad … they set us up to fail,” Lazewski commented at one point.
“They did,” the other officer replied.
“There was no way we were winning that,” Lazewski said. “Now you’ve got at least four platoons that are just gassed out.”

Why hasn't the government informed the public that undercover MPD officers were chanting "our house!" and repeatedly urging protestors to advance up the northwest steps of the Capitol on January 6?

Why were armed undercover DOJ/DEA agents moving east from the Ellipse area (in the direction of the Capitol) during President Trump's speech on January 6? Why were MPD telling people to keep marching towards the Capitol?

Another possibility is that Officer 1 says "Jim" not "Tim" which is another name used for Fi Duong in his charging documents. pic.twitter.com/yq99RkXAeY

UPDATE: Due to high public interest and inquiries from national news companies, I have filed a supplemental motion seeking to remove the sensitivity designation from the undercover MPD video. If granted, this would make the video files available to the public. pic.twitter.com/EaA7mKD7Az

“While my descriptions of the undercover MPD officers are accurate, the media and the public should not have to rely on my descriptions alone.”
