It's more than likely that the many hours of additional footage simply show different angles of the same events. I have gone through about 10 of these compilations so far, some going on for twice as long, and the extra footage is actually even more condemning of Donnie and his cultists' (and the GOP's) suspicions it shows much less mayhem. No one video shows it all. The VICE compilation, despite the warnings of graphic content, didn't show the Ashli Bobbitt shooting death (by a cop), but it also didn't completely flesh out the totality of mayhem in and out of the Capitol. The battles were at different locations within the building, some quite fierce, others more noisy and raucous than damaging. Some of the estimated 1200 Trumpers inside were also engaged in a "lull" in the main lobby which shows cops quietly conversing with Trumpers, taking selfies, etc. What it didn't show is that at different levels and other locations within, violent confrontations were taking place. One can view the NYT compilation (time-lined) or any number of other "documentaries" and see scenes that do not favor the Republicans' claim it was a distortion by Democrats and mass media.
There is some evidence of a minor distortion by those sources with biased editing yet it's reasonable to assume the extra footage consists of duplication, obscenities and graphic violence (bloodletting). Some additional footage was released during the committee's hearings, and it doesn't do much to substantiate Republicans' claims the riot wasn't nearly the violent incident Democrats and mass media have claimed.

So, as we await the expected release of all that "revealing" extra video footage that Republicans obviously hope will prove their case, it still remains a sick reality that hundreds of angry Trumpers busted into the Capitol that day, beat up an outnumbered police force, terrorized legislators, looted and vandalized our seat of government in the mistaken belief Donnie wanted them to "fight like Hell" and engage in "trial by combat." And we'll likely never know what Donnie had planned for the second rally at the Capitol steps, but we know he was made very angry being prevented by Secret Service from speaking to them. Having few cops behind him in that speech would've sent the message that his supporters weren't violent, thereby needing little enforcement. And having fewer cops made it easier to penetrate the security barriers and go after Donnie's most hated Democrat targets, Pelosi, Schumer and other legislators and of course, Mike Pence, his faithful VP. The promise to stop the steal that day was bogus since Pence had no legal authority to reject the electoral vote tallies. That was a wild lie that day from Donnie's lips, following his big lie the election was rigged by the Left.
And when it comes to biased video editing, FOX and other rightist news/social media outlets also creatively edited footage but, instead, to prevent viewers from hearing/seeing Trumpers being more graphically hateful and violent. Nice scenes of them being led out peacefully, carefully edited scenes of them being "welcomed" into the lobby by friendly cops - which had more to do with police being greatly outnumbered (as one can see in the VICE footage) and using tactics to calm the crowd by chatting and otherwise friendly social intercourse.
We now know that FOX host Tucker Carlson hated Trump, but you wouldn't have had a clue watching his program for the last two years in which he defended and praised Donnie to no end.

It doesn't matter to Carlson that 140 cops were beaten by Trumpers that day, it just matters that the more peaceful aspects of the invasion be shown prominently with repeated claims the police were "tour guides" without the basic understanding of their tactic to act friendly to calm a violent crowd that greatly outnumbered them. And Carlson acts dumbfounded as to why the "Shaman" character was treated so nicely by about 9 cops, giving him the red-carpet treatment. And why he was not arrested. Arrests were virtually impossible and very risky because so few officers were there.
Police need to hold back a crowd while at least several officers are engaged in the arrest procedure. Cops that day could not reasonably, safely do either. That is why no one was arrested. Ordinarily, if the cop force had been adequate, scores if not hundreds would've been handcuffed and led to paddy wagons and hauled off for booking.
Other FOX regular hosts have been revealed to be just as disingenuous in their praise and support of Donnie and showing what their biased audiences expect from a biased news service, dedicated to making a bad President look good, and his violent supporters look like great heroes or patriots. It's the "feel good" channel for rightist fanatics convinced their worldview's sacrosanct, no matter how warped or self-serving.
What we need is for this terrible ideologically based mayhem and hatred to be fleshed out in the courts, the grand juries, not in the popular medias or by biased partisans.
And that is surely coming soon, and as I said, if Donnie and his pals escape felonies then many people will conclude that the justice system is badly corrupted, and that gross immoral, violent mass behavior should be tolerated as long as they're regarded as misled "patriots." And if he and they aren't convicted, far rightists will feel vindicated, even more righteous in their delusions and intensify their rebellion against a "leftist shadow government." Now called "Deep State" for those following new trendy identifiers.
LOL!
They were indeed misled and by a horribly corrupted President that sought to ease his psychic wounds from losing an election, who apparently, thought it was a smart move at the time, essentially making himself into a winner of sorts, cruelly denied his rightful throne.
Is this the way great civilizations sank into moral quicksand - by denying truth and reality, replacing it with fanciful comforting "theories" as supposed fact? Delusions regarded as reality. Unproved allegations aiding immoral or illegal actions. A billionaire ex-President saying he'd like to be the "retribution" for Republicans, that is, for those willing to suspend truth and reality as he and his personality cult, and the GOP, have done tragically, dangerously.
We've known for two years there was much more Capitol riot footage, but as the indictments get closer, the rightists are pouring on the distractions and propaganda extra heavy. Thar's gold in them thar videos! Dig in and edit them all to support your biases! LOL! I predict that if all that footage is released, the case Trumpers make will not be made stronger - that is, without creative editing.
