Baker details the systematic underpreparing of Capitol Police before January 6th. Frontline officers had their helmets collected two weeks earlier and were never told that six protest permits had been issued for the Capitol grounds. On a day policy required all-hands double-shift coverage, fewer than 250 of 2,000 uniformed officers were on duty. Baker describes standing at the front line filming young officers with fear in their eyes and no protective gear, facing a crowd of hundreds of thousands. He calls them sacrificial pawns — deployed to create a confrontation that would look like an insurrection. He notes Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarek Johnson called his wife to say goodbye, believing he was going to die. The Capitol Police's CDU and intelligence units, Baker argues, were running the operation from above, while the frontline officers were genuine victims of it [1] — Steve Baker "Capitol Police helmets collected 2 weeks before J6: Baker says Capitol Police frontline officers had their helmets collected and taken away…" 41:00 .
Baker says approximately 41,000 hours of Capitol security video exists from January 6th, more of which he has reviewed than any other journalist.
January 6th was engineered by elements of the Department of Defense, Capitol Police, and CIA to permanently destroy Trump's political career — not the FBI. Baker says a Tier 1 special operator watching his footage pointed out the same crowd-manipulation tactics used to start color revolutions overseas.
Of the hundreds of thousands present on January 6th, only 80 to 100 people committed any violence at all. The media created a false impression of mass violence by showing the same narrow battle-scene footage from different angles on repeat for five years.
Steve Baker estimates only 80 to 100 people committed any actual violence on January 6th out of hundreds of thousands present.
Baker says Capitol Police frontline officers had their helmets collected and taken away two weeks before January 6th, leaving them unprotected on the day.
Baker estimates between 400,000 and 600,000 people were at the Capitol on January 6th, far more than the press-reported figure of 30,000.
The DOJ initially threatened to charge Baker with interstate racketeering because he licensed his J6 videos to HBO and the New York Times. After a press offensive, they went silent for 20 months before arresting him on four misdemeanors — and the judge used the sentencing hearing to attack Baker's journalism rather than anything he did at the Capitol.
