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.
That’d be a confession to treason, then.

Last I checked, Christianity includes several strong injunctions against lying and betraying, so he’s doing kinda shitty at Christianity too.

You’ll find all Abrahamic religions are all quite big proponents of lying. Even the religious text shows sanctioned lies by God.
Right??? What the hell?
Far-right Republicans like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and former President Donald Trump have praised Johnson’s promise to release the footage, saying it will “prove” that the activities of Jan. 6, 2021, were peaceful.
Only morons and guilty people believe this. I saw evidence to the contrary on live broadcast.
Someone was peacefully trampled to death, Ashley Babbitt was peacefully shot breaking into the capitol, and those were gallows of peace.
They literally dragged a security guard out of the door and
beat him to death. Because of all the preconditions that the seditionists set up, there were few guards and they didn’t escalate. It saved their lives at least, but it was corrupt to the coreI think you’re confusing Michael Fanone (dragged out, tased and beaten, had a heart attack but survived) with Brian Sicknick (had a stroke late that night and died the next day). To my knowledge, Sicknick wasn’t involved in any assault that is believed to have caused his death.
(Before anyone jumps down my throat, I think all the Jan 6th rioters are traitors. I just think it’s important to be accurate.)
Honestly I saw the thing live and read some time after that security guards died and just put two and two together

Wait, I thought they backed tracked that claim of beating to death. Instead it was determined it was something else that was a result of that day. Heart attack or something along the lines.
Natural causes…that resulted from being beaten to half an inch of his life and left to die, yeah?
They record the final cause (heart attack, aneurism,) as being the cause… but no one who reads the autopsy report with even half a brain really thinks he would be alive today if the beating never happened
“Officially” it was “natural causes” and a total “coincidence” that a Trump-supporting cop was beaten to near-death by other Trump supporters and died within hours. Naturally. As one does.
Probably Excited Delirium
Chronic hysteria

They tried so hard to martyr her…
The rest of them are just lucky they weren’t shot too.

Bullets are expensive. Just rebuild the gallows they assembled.
Public hangings go a long way to deter treason.
I draw that conclusion from the lack of hangings and correlative increase in treason.Just rebuild the gallows they assembled.
They were never going to hang someone from those gallows. They were shoddy work, would have collapsed if they tried. They would have had to execute people some other way if they’d won.
They tried so hard to martyr her…
Breaking outside windows to gain access, etc.
I was gonna say, we watched the events play out live on both news and social media. Peaceful protestors don’t scale the walls of the capitol building, bulldoze baracades, and threaten capitol police, all while chanting stop the steal.
That’s like saying a school shooting was peaceful because over 99.9% of people weren’t being violent.
Also all the people who went to jail for being peaceful.
Half the country takes their bullshit seriously.
Not half of the country. Remember that Trump lost the popular vote.
Twice
Not even half of the voters.
Those are the stupids, who are fucking nuts, whose bullshit is being spoken of.
Just to chime in with the chorus. But half the country even voting is rare. It only happens sometimes during presidential years. And almost never on the in between years. And even then, especially at the national level. Republicans almost never win the popular vote. Republicans have boiled their base down to the most bat shit, irrational, and dedicated people. It isn’t going to shrink anymore. But the good news is that they’re not even close to half the country, and they’re not likely to grow either. If the rest of us realized this, organized and voted responsibility. They’d be stuck running for dog catcher in some Podunk shit hole. And likely losing because of their history of animal torture and abuse.
*because treasons
Wouldn’t the DOJ have already seen this footage. Why would Congress have access to security footage that the cops don’t have already have access to?
This smells like some sort of play for time and or a way for GOP leaders to pretend to have their base’s backs.
Yup, it’s just theatre. Their idiot base will eat it right up too, because they are hateful idiots.
Yes.
A lot of citizens coming through footage have been helpful in identifying the seditionists. We need to demand the raw footage and dox the rest of the criminals.
Probably because https://seditionhunters.org/ will also be looking at the footage for better quality images of people. They provided a lot of the initial investigation cited in charging documents so far.
Why would you have to blur the faces of people doing nothing illegal or wrong?
So they’re not still claiming they were FBI plants or Antifa?
Fuck it, at this point the GOP thinks they were peaceful Antifa Trump-supporting FBI Agents Provacateur.
Or something.
“We have to obstruct justice”
“We have to obstruct justice”
Seriously, how is this not grounds for immediate repercussions?
Because it’s completely, 100% bullshit.
Speaker Johnson implicates House GOP in conspiracy to obstruct justice and commits high treason along the way
Obstruction of justice
Cross ref blurred faces with unblurred media footage - Voilà! You have your perps.
Edit: Spelling. Lol
Criminals all from the top down.
Wait, can someone get his son on the horn to see if this is some kind of Japanese porn blur fetish thing?
his son’s face when the footage comes out all pixelated with black lines through it rather than a smooth blur will be priceless
You should totally try to compete on the npr news quiz. I bet you get bill Curtis on your answering machine.
World’s biggest orgy
see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials.
Dude, just stop.
I live on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean and I clearly saw many laws being broken via a live internet stream. Everyone in the world with the opportunity who cared and/or fretted enough did.
Jericho Johnson is trying to change what the world has already seen clearly INTO the alternative reality interpretation of a small group of government officials.
So, obstruction of justice.
I remember when many GOP lawmakers were reliving what happened on 1/6, and talking about how Trump almost got THEM killed, and I thought finally, we were going to see some action, thought they would finally have Trump cooked. So naive, I was.
I fully believe it has to do with Project2025. They want it so bad they are willing to die for it, and in all likelihood even kill for it.
They have to blur the faces to keep the public from helping identify them and thus help the DoJ.
