Harry Dunn's history of 'mental health issues' was on 'full display' on January 6



Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn – the “hero,” the “martyr” who President Biden says “acted with remarkable courage and valor to defend both our institutions and our people” during the January 6 Capitol riots … well, frankly, his account of what happened has serious issues.

Dunn has been hailed by the media as a hero for his courage in the face of violence on January 6, for “the persistent emotional trauma” he suffered that day.

“Make no mistake about it – there were a lot of officers injured that day,” says investigative journalist Steve Baker, who has access to the J6 tapes. “I have reviewed hundreds and hundreds of hours of video, and there was violence. I saw violence there that day with my own eyes.”

The only thing is, Harry Dunn wasn’t impacted by any of it, although his copious testimonies, his interviews, and his lucrative new book, "Standing My Ground: A Capitol Police Officer’s Fight for Accountability and Good Trouble After January 6th," say otherwise.

“In his memoir published in October, Dunn described how he was the target of vicious racial abuse, claiming that ‘20, 30, 40, 50 people’ crowded around him and chanted the N-word during the chaos of the afternoon,” writes Baker.

And yet, in hundreds upon hundreds of hours of tapes, there is nothing showing anything of that nature happening to or even around Dunn.

The truth is, “Dunn spent most of the day avoiding direct conflict with protesters,” Baker explains, but unfortunately, the majority of the public doesn’t know this because the tapes have yet to be released.

As a result, the public has largely bought into Dunn’s faux sob story, but what’s worse is that his testimony has landed many people, including several of the Oath Keepers, behind bars.

So what do the tapes actually show of Dunn’s experience on January 6?

That’s exactly what Steve Baker explores in his latest report: “Harry Dunn’s account of January 6 does not add up. At all.”

He also dives into Dunn’s past, which includes a long history of “anger issues” and “struggles with mental health,” which, as the tapes show, were undoubtedly on “full display” during the riots.

What the GUARDED January 6 footage REALLY holds, according to a journalist with access to the tapes



Steve Baker is a lifelong musician and music industry professional, but he’s known for something far different now.

What started as a fun pastime writing about politics turned into something much bigger.

Baker is now a full-blown investigative journalist, and he’s found himself in a bit of hot water after his coverage of the January 6 protest — which he believes goes much deeper than the mainstream media is telling us.

His footage has been used in several January 6 documentaries, including ones made by the New York Times and HBO, as well as news agencies all over the world.

“Fast-forward two and a half years, and I just got a grand jury subpoena for it,” Baker tells James Poulos. “According to what the FBI told me and my lawyer back 21 months ago, they told me that I was going to be prosecuted for interstate racketeering.”

As no other journalists or peaceful protesters that Baker is aware of have been threatened with the same charge, Baker says “the only thing that we’ve been able to surmise is that they want to charge me with, I guess, the preconceived notion that I knew something was going to happen of an illegal nature, and therefore I traveled across state lines to get to D.C.”

Despite the accusations, Baker is one of only five journalists who have been granted access to over 41,000 hours of footage from the protest.

He notes that he became suspicious of what was really going on during one of the trials last year.

“There was a moment where I felt like that I saw something untoward or something suspicious happening between the lead prosecuting attorney, his name is Jeffrey Nestler, an assistant U.S. attorney, and Judge Amit Mehta, who was sitting on the bench in this particular trial.”

According to Baker, his “antennas went up” when he saw what he believed to be “suppression of evidence” and “collusion.”

That’s when he began digging.

“I backdoored my way into the Capitol to see these videos” as well as “into seeing some of this evidence that was under court seal,” he tells Poulos.

He was able to verify that what he saw in court was in fact a suppression of evidence “that would quite likely be exculpatory evidence for these defendants.”

However, that’s not all Baker has found.

“What we have discovered is not only suppression of evidence, but also the creation out of thin air of evidence that did not exist for the purpose of convicting,” Baker tells Poulos, adding that “there are people who have been scapegoated who have become the patsies, who have become the anointed leaders of the insurrection.”

Those “anointers leaders” were in fact “not at all” and “have been falsely accused.”

While Baker cannot currently release the names of these scapegoats, he will soon be able to take a few Blaze reporters with him into the video room, where he says he will finally be able to “get this off my chest.”

You won't believe THIS SHOCKING TRUTH buried in the Jan. 6 video archives



House Republicans have announced that members of the media and other qualified individuals will now have access to view footage from January 6.

According to the strict criteria required to view the footage, you have to be a qualifying non-profit organization or a news outlet, among other things.

Sara Gonzales believes that “this obviously is backtracking on the promise that Speaker McCarthy made to the American people when he said we will make all of the footage public.”

Investigative journalist Steve Baker has combed through the 41,000 hours of video, which he says is “a daunting and impossible task” if he wanted to get through all of it.

Baker also says that as he has gone through the footage, he’s found that in footage from certain cameras, there were “three or four hours missing in the middle of the riot itself.”

Some of the cameras have no footage whatsoever, which Baker believes is strange, as the Capitol Police “told us that all of their cameras were functional that day.”

Sara Gonzales finds it all fascinating.

“We are still seeing the FBI and the DOJ put so much concentration on January 6, oftentimes non-violent people who didn’t – they didn’t break anything in the Capitol, they didn’t vandalize anything, they didn’t hit anyone,” Gonzales says.

Baker says that it’s frightening, because the people who are being convicted of some sort of conspiracy to overthrow the government simply used “the words of a founding father,” which he calls “revolutionary-style rhetoric.”

In one of the particular stories that Baker is working on in order to exonerate and find evidence for people who are innocent yet being accused, he believes he saw clear collusion.

“I was sitting in one of the trials back last fall, and in that trial I saw something that did not ring true. It was one of those moments between the judge and the lead prosecuting attorney that I, just by instinct, thought I saw collusion,” he says.

“Body language, the connection didn’t work. I saw the panic of the prosecutor, I saw the panic of the judge in suppressing evidence, and then I started the process of digging myself,” he adds.

In that digging, Baker believes he’s found “evidence tampering, evidence suppression,” and the “creating of evidence that did not exist out of whole cloth.”

Hollywood leftists are creating a January 6 feature film: 'Harrowing and terrifying'



Events that unfolded at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, are headed to the silver screen as filmmakers Billy Ray and Adam McKay set out to adapt the incident for film in the upcoming feature "J6," Deadline reports.

Set to direct the feature is Billy Ray, who is best known for writing the 2013 film "Captain Phillips," starring Tom Hanks as the eponymous Captain Phillips who must save his ship after it is overtaken by Somali pirates. Ray also directed the 2020 miniseries "The Comey Rule," which is a dramatic retelling of former President Donald Trump’s tense relationship with and subsequent firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Producing the feature alongside Ray is satirist Adam McKay. McKay made his name as a writer and director giving life to such hits as "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Step Brothers," and "The Other Guys." Most recently, however, McKay has leaned heavily into left-wing political satire, as his recent films "The Big Short," "Vice," and "Don’t Look Up" satirize the American economy, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and the Western response to climate change.

Shortly after the incidents of January 6, Ray visited Washington, D.C., to interview people involved in the kerfuffle. Ray spent time probing the memories of Capitol police officers and various members of Congress who were trapped inside the Capitol as protesters invaded the premises.

“The goal was to do a ground-level view of a momentous day,” said Ray. “It’s about protesters who became rioters and cops who became defenders of democracy.”

Noting that the film is meant to focus on the actual people involved with the event and not the political intrigue surrounding it, Ray said, “Someone else can tell the story of the chaos at the White House on that day. I wanted to stay in the trenches.”

McKay referred to Ray’s script as “harrowing and terrifying.”

McKay’s most recent film, "Don’t Look Up," produced with and released on Netflix, has received substantial critical acclaim as it attempts to lampoon American government, politics, media, and business. It is currently the second most-watched film released on Netflix.

Considering Ray and McKay’s recent works, it is reasonable to assume that "J6" will not paint the average person attending the “Stop the Steal” rally immediately preceding the incident in question in a favorable light.

It’s no secret that Hollywood is dominated by the left wing of American politics. McKay and Ray embody the leftist consensus in film and, in general, entertainment.
