First of all, it's February 2024 — there shouldn't be any "newly discovered" footage from January 6, 2021. Speaker Mike Johnson was going to release all of it or was supposed to at least. However, NBC News has discovered "new" footage that "appears" to show one of the insurrectionists firing a gun into the air.
New footage appears to show a Jan. 6 rioter firing a gun in the air outside the Capitol during the attack. https://t.co/lJoVmhPrVO

Ryan J. Reilly reports:
Newly unearthed footage from Jan. 6, 2021, appears to show a rioter — a man identified in an NBC News story nearly two years ago — firing a gun into the air outside the Capitol during the attack.
Online sleuths who have aided in hundreds of Jan. 6 prosecutions say he is the same man they identified to the FBI who is currently individual No. 200 on the bureau’s Capitol Violence page, which he first appeared on three years ago. Videos and photographs from the Capitol on Jan. 6 showed him with what appears to be a gun in his waistband.
Just look:
You'd have thought the January 6 select committee would have been all over that. How did Capitol Police not hear gunshots?
That looks like a Maple 55! pic.twitter.com/ylpewHBOsD

And killed a veteran.
So that's the one guy who was going to take over the entire US government? Wow. I thought you needed an F-16 for that.

Heck of an iNsUrReCTioN if it takes three years to find this guy firing a weapon.

Can't tell what that is. Also, where's the video?

Have you ever seen a gun before, because it appears you’ve never seen a gun before.

Appears? Now, there's some stellar reporting.

“New footage” just in time to change the narrative.
— Right Side of Life🌳🪓 (@realrighttolife) February 10, 2024
Propaganda of the highest order.
I’ve never seen the FBI so obsessed with a case in my entire life.

Imagine if the FBI spent these kinds of resources on cartels, child exploitation and other major crimes.
They find the pipe bomb perps yet or did they just look in the mirror and determined they did nothing wrong?

We know that you want this. You want this so so badly,

Interesting that this was just discovered 🤔

Now Joe Biden can accuse Donald Trump of inciting an armed insurrection during the debates if the DNC lets there be any debates.
Crazy that it only took 3 YEARS for that footage to surface. You would think that someone firing a gun outside the CAPITOL would have been noticed earlier, seems suspicious

You're still trying so hard to sell this TV show.

The Biden administration has no accomplishments to highlight — they best they can do is present Trump as an insurrectionist who shouldn't be on the ballot.
