Baker had previously written an analysis in October, casting doubt on Lazarus' testimony, which played a significant role in the conviction of the Oath Keepers. He pointed out discrepancies between Lazarus' claims and the CCTV footage, which showed Lazarus in different parts of the Capitol complex at the time he claimed to have witnessed interactions between former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and the Oath Keepers.
Access to the January 6 videos was strictly limited, with viewing only possible on Washington, D.C., House subcommittee terminals. Furthermore, at the time of Baker's October 4 analysis, Blaze News was only allowed to publish a single screenshot of Lazarus in the Capitol, due to a hold on video permissions following the ousting of then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

However, in early November, U.S. Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) released multiple screenshots of Lazarus' movements in the Capitol on January 6. Loudermilk told Baker that he did this because "an allegation of a Capitol Police officer lying under oath is very serious and must be fully investigated."

In the BlazeTV video, Baker meticulously analyzes Lazarus' movements within the Capitol complex, using the time-stamped video clips from the Capitol's CCTV cameras. He argues that Lazarus could not have seen Dunn with the Oath Keepers, as he claimed in his testimony, because the CCTV footage shows Lazarus was in a different building a quarter of a mile away at the time.

Baker also revealed that the newly released videos showing Lazarus' movements were never disclosed to the Oath Keepers' defense attorneys during the trial. He suggested that this revelation should deeply concern the Capitol Police, citing messages from sources at the Department of Justice in Washington who were reportedly "terrified" of this story.
