Mike Johnson Says Faces of Jan. 6 Rioters to Be Blurred From Footage

House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the release of Jan. 6 security footage has been delayed in order to blur the faces of rioters. 

Rolling Stone

New #HouseSpeaker Johnson has started to release some 40k hrs of #January6th #video footage with blurred faces of #Capitol bldg interlopers, in hopes to show most so-called #CapitolRioters were just curious tourists, more like kids lost at #Disneyland than threat to #Democracy as portrayed in #J6 reports. #CapitolPolice and #HouseDemocrats like #RepRaskin of MD and #RepMorelle of NY have said releasing all the unedited footage only provides a #terrorist roadmap to future #insurrectionists on camera locations and other sensitive details about #USGov #Security operations around #USCapitol . Johnson was praised for his #courage by #Trump and many #RWNJ #GOP members of #Congress.

I don’t think they’ll ever put him in jail, per se. And if they do, I hope they would bring him here.” “We would have a good time, and it would be awesome to get to meet Donald Trump,” Jenkins continued and Jesus freaking Christ lol this asshole really fucking thinks Trump would be happy to be incarcerated with the losers whose lives […]
