Speaker Johnson Explains Holdup In Releasing Jan 6 Tapes: ‘We Have To Blur Some Of The Faces’ To Protect Them From The DOJ
Yes. You read that right. Johnson is saying that he is intentionally hiding insurrectionists from prosecution in the release of tapes that Republicans claim will vindicate them on January 6th.
You're viewing a single thread.
Where is this video coming from that the DOJ doesn't already have it?
Edit: from another article "We don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” the House speaker said. His office later noted that DOJ already has the raw footage.
Exactly as u/Kbin_space_program@kbin.social said below.
I imagine that the DOJ absolutely has it.
But telling the cult of Trump that "good ol' Mike" is blurring their faces to "protect them from the DOJ" is an effort to endear himself to the rabid cult mob that doesn't know any better.
That was my thought as well, especially coming from the party of drama queens.
Maybe from those of the traitors who were such geniuses that they recorded their own crimes and then didn't permawipe the data from their devices? AKA the constituents of Jericho Johnson.
I watched livestreams of it as it was happening, they were never thinking it through
So did I and you're (somehow) 400% correct in that assessment.
