Mike Johnson, the new Speaker, has been pummeled by the press and Dems to release all the footage of the January 6, 2021 riot. The original concern was that in-place security measures might be compromised if this unedited tape were distributed. So the Dems asked that they be provided the tape under careful control. Eventually, Mike Johnson agreed–but he is blurring out the faces of the rioters to protect them from (hassling) retribution. This is pure BS–blind stupidity. First, by obscuring faces he is making the judgement that these individuals might be guilty of crimes and he wants them to avoid any charges. If he really thinks that is the case, isn’t he obstructing justice? Secondly, does he have no faith in the court system? Does he think that these rioters won’t get a fair trial so he makes the decision to help them hide? Third, is there some other reason for the GOP to interfere in the recognition process? Was there someone in the pictures of that day that would be embarrassing to the GOP? We think that obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, tampering with evidence and other crimes should be advanced on Mr. Johnson’s decision to protect those who clearly attacked the US Capitol that day. What do you think?
