He blames staffers and his hired ABC Exec hired to produce their shows. 
Can someone explain how members of the Committee were forbidden from seeing all the videos, but their staffers and a hired producer could?
“Thompson said he doesn’t think any of the Jan. 6 members themselves ever had access to the footage — they let only staff view it,” Treene continued her report. “‘I’m actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.'”
In addition to the “employees” Thompson claimed were responsible for handling the video footage, the January 6 committee hired former ABC News president James Goldston to “produce” the entire affair for “maximum impact” — a move which also could have impacted which clips were shown to the public and which ended up on the cutting room floor.
“The plan is to present the case in six tight, thematic episodes that will unfold in prime time and during the day, running 90 to 150 minutes. The idea is to make them as compelling as the marathon Watergate hearings — some of which stretched for hours — but tailored for the streaming era and a media world fueled by viral moments,” The New York Times reported at the time.
