If Tarkin could not show the surveillance camera record during the escape and the sound during the interrogation then there's clearly something going on. It's not the Empire era yet, nor was Tarkin the sole leader of the military, he was not such figure even in the Empire era.

it was only the Grand Moff..... it actualy was a big figure. A huge one.

So it's his responsibility to show the evidence. If Tarkin could not show the surveillance camera record during the escape and the sound during the interrogation then there's clearly something going on. It's not the Empire era yet, nor was Tarkin the sole leader of the military, he was not such figure even in the Empire era. The Senate and the Chancellor could all be used against him.

But of course they'll show evidence, it will just be faked. The Jedi don't have enough power to challenge the legitimacy of it. Although its clear that they're not completely convinced.

it was only the Grand Moff.....

Grand Moff is below the 13 Grand Admirals.

Oh but it is, Sidious is giving more and more power to the military in the name of 'security' - at this point the Republic is half way to becoming a military state, the military have more power than the Jedi, and they can do what they want. And by this stage Tarkin is becoming Sidious' personal protege, Sidious made many of his 'friends' who would later become the leaders of the Empire, during the Republic era - Tarkin, who is now an Admiral, is the chief of these. He and the Chancellor and likely working together.

 

But of course they'll show evidence, it will just be faked. The Jedi don't have enough power to challenge the legitimacy of it. Although its clear that they're not completely convinced.

Not yet, the Senate was still there and Palpatine was still the Chancellor rather than the Emperor. Even in the Empire era, he's not some personal protege. Tarkin was below the 13 Grand Admirals.

If they could show fake evidence Tarkin would not say "the sound doesn't work".

The senate?

Grand moff was still huge considering it was apointed directly by the emperor to oversee territories. so protegé still fits very well.

And in the case of tarkin, not only he had several territories over his control more then any other grand moff he also had the deathstar in his control.

wich pretty much makes him in a position of huge power and responsability.

His apearence and role in the movie is actualy enough to warrant his importance

The Senate still worked, even Sidious had to record part of his conversation with the Jedi Masters and show it to the Senate to prove Jedi's treason.

Well this is not the Empire Era yet, so Tarkin has even lower position, it's not like he could easily sway the Jedi off.
