I looked at many of them and it is quite a leap to Russian asset.
However maybe we have a difference of opinion on what a Russian asset is.
I consider a Russian asset to be a traitor to the United States and tantamount to being a Russian spy.
Maybe your definition is different?
You mean like someone that had KGB thugs in the Oval Office and gave them top secret intel?
And BTW, before you try to defend Tucker, please recall the things you've said about Congressman Swalwell. Can't have it both ways.
I think it's highly probably that Tucker has contacts from Russia that are giving him talking points and information to use against the President and the Democrats, and he certainly doesn't care about our country.

I was asking what is your definition of a Russian asset
Then there’s that time a year and a half ago or so when Ted Cruz trashed the US army and retweeted a Russian military propaganda video showing how much better the Russian Army is.
Ted’s been making the anti Ukraine rounds again over the last few days.

Several major media organizations have demanded access to the thousands of hours of video recorded inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) gave the footage to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The letter, sent to congressional leaders Friday, argues the footage given exclusively to Carlson should be shared with other media groups. Earlier this week, McCarthy gave Carlson 41,000 hours of closed-circuit footage from inside the U.S. Capitol during the attack.

The letter was sent on behalf of ABC, Advance Publications, Axios, CNN, CBS, Gannett, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, ProPublica and Scripps.
Attorney Charles Tobin, representing the outlets, said full public access to the footage is needed to complete the historical record.
“Without full public access to the complete historical record, there is concern that an ideologically-based narrative of an already polarizing event will take hold in the public consciousness, with destabilizing risks to the legitimacy of Congress, the Capitol Police, and the various federal investigations and prosecutions of January 6 crimes,” Tobin wrote in the letter.
Carlson has repeatedly defended rioters who attacked the Capitol and called the hearings on Jan. 6 insurrection “propaganda.”

Admitted lying propaganda farm set to roll out disinformation.
Last ditch effort to start a civil war to protect the traitor trump.
Since an actual civil war is not possible due to a variety of factors, I guess they are just hoping a few thousand MAGA will kill a few thousand of us as a distraction.
As predicted (well duh) Tucker took some footage and spoke about it out of context to attempt to alter history. It was super weak. Tucker never shed a light on anything. The sad thing is, millions of radicalized idiots are being poisoned by this shit.
There was NOTHING he offered here that changes anything aside from radicalizing people with dumb.
And look at this deranged idiot.
"Some of those that work forces,

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell joined a chorus of widespread attacks on Fox News host Tucker Carlson for his portrayal of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol since he accessed more than 40,000 hours of security footage.
Carlson and his team had exclusive access to the security tape surrounding the attack thanks to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, drawing concerns the host would use the tapes to spread a new wave of disinformation.
McConnell said he aligned himself with remarks issued earlier Tuesday by U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger to his rank-and-file slamming Carlson's "offensive and misleading conclusions" about the siege. He held up Manger's one-page statement — called "Truth & Justice" — near the Senate chamber on Tuesday.
"It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks," McConnell told reporters.
Earlier Tuesday, Manger asked his statement be read at roll call meetings for rank-and-file and posted on all Capitol Police bulletin boards. Manger listed out a series of falsehoods portrayed by Fox:
Carlson pushed "outrageous and false" allegations that officers acted as "tour guides." Manger refuted that characterization saying that officers who were severely outnumbered were using "de-escalation tactics to try to talk rioters.
The program "cherry-picked from the calmer moments" outside the violent attack to push a false narrative dismissing the violence of the siege.
The Fox News host claimed fallen officer Brian Sicknick's death had "nothing to do with his heroic actions on January 6." The department maintains, Manger wrote, "that had Officer Sicknick not fought valiantly for hours on the day he was violently assaulted, Officer Sicknick would not have died the next day."
"TV commentary will not record the truth for our history books," Manger said in closing. "The justice system will. The truth and justice are on our side."
McConnell said Manger's comments are the correct view. But the Senate Republican leader stopped short of criticizing the House speaker when asked if McCarthy made a mistake in giving Carlson access to the security footage. McConnell responded by saying, "My concern is how it was depicted, which is a different issue."
McConnell has been at this for an awfully long time, and he probably sees a political downside in going after the present Speaker of the House, even though in my own honest opinion Mister Speaker sold his soul for much less than thirty pieces of silver.
The Speaker of the House is a self-infatuated charlatan from a yahoo district in a state concerned mostly with economic success ever since its admission to the Union to obtain the gold mines. He sold the country out to a tiny fanatical faction just to get the gavel. He wins, and America loses. Big. The media are out of control, dominated by a disruptive splinter faction, and destroying our social fabric. The Internet has been seized by an even more tiny minority, which has turned it into the most effective political disruption machine in human history. The economy is riding a bubble that is critically thin and way overdue to burst. I'm open to any ideas on what to do about it, because I can't think of anything that works.
One thing I'm sure of is that bitching about it only makes us feel bad and it does nothing to save this country from itself.

I agree, bitching about it does nothing. SC will uphold all fascism now, so the country is gone.
The question is how do we react? WHEN not if Fani Willis is fired, then what?
That's how they did it to us. They just wanted it more and invested 50 years in the process, one convert at a time. While we did drugs, wrote lyrics, bought bigger amps, and played at revolution, they built a solid grass roots political movement the old fashioned way. By the time they hit critical mass, the battle was pretty much already lost.

And without the electoral college not one BIT of it happens. Think about that for a minute. We did out vote them every fucking time.
And when you violate the constitution and remove DA's, you arent out doing us they are FASCISTS
Thank you Tucker i'll make sure your dumbass big mouth Jan 6 Analysis clip is sent out & cost Trump & your GOP candidates their political races in the upcoming elections.
So he managed to cherry pick a few clips where J6 rioters and mob members are walking around peacefully, probably either because most of the Capitol police were on the radio requesting what to do next before they acted, or a few "simps" among the police let them walk around unbothered.
Bottom line: the Capitol was not open to tourists or anyone in the public that day. Every single one was guilty of trespass. Even if the main ones being charged committed violence and vandalism.
Should be noted even Mitch McConnell called what F**ker aired as a load of massive bull dada.
"Don't believe every quote attributed to people on the Internet" -- Abraham Lincoln
Tucker hasn’t presented anything new here, aside from attempting to put a fresh coat of paint on a rotten wall. He’s spent the last two years denying J6 showing selective clips of the calm before the storm. It’s no different than showing clips of Hitler on parade with his band of merry Nazis, claiming he was really peaceful. And the Hawley running bit is stupid. Of course others were running too. That’s not the point. The point is the fist pump sedition guy who is trying to rewrite history, ran because the Capital was under attack. Talk about self own.
A FLOP that caters to a base who do not live in reality anyway.
Tucker is on record admitting he is nothing but a liar, working for a propaganda farm.

Atty for proud boys has asked for charges to be thrown out based on Carlson reporting. All you need now is a piece of shit, useless know nothing maga judge.
