Who would have thought that the 'Party of Law & Order' would not only want to defund the FBI and the Police but actually admit to evidence-tampering? When surely the tapes show a bunch of tourists being guided around public areas?

clear obstruction

why would they be in danger of getting charged if they weren't involved in doing anything illegal? and if they were breaking the law, isn't that aiding and abetting???

“We have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” Johnson said.

“That’s a slow process to get it done, we’re working steadily on it. We’ve hired additional personnel to do that and all of those tapes ultimately will be out so everybody can see them and draw their own conclusions,” he added.

conclusions already drawn because of video tampering

So... the "missing" tapes are just being edited.

Obstruction of justice? Per the article, the tapes released to the public have some faces blurred which the speaker says is to protect individuals from retaliation. Does that mean prosecutors at the DOJ don‘t have access to the unedited source video material?

Johnson says that's what he's trying to do. Maybe he's just so dumb that he doesn't realise that someone might have copies.

The DOJ has full access to the unedited video. No obstruction.

Yeah, blurring the faces will really throw the DOJ off the scent. Totally stymied them with his cunning plan. Genius.

When the retribution would be against their supporters, that's when.

If people are upset by the videos that’s their choice. I see no harm in their release or blurring out some faces.

admitting that there was no deep state bad actors involved in the insurrection is the first step. well done!

I’m not decrying anything and am fine with them blurring some faces. I have no interest in watching the video.

you would have made a thread about it if the dems did this shady shit.

Nah. Totally fine with releasing the video footage.

This seems to be the new babyboobs….if he says the same thing like three times, he thinks it makes things just disappear.

Wearing the ruby slippers too? @BabyBoomer50s

Some states are trying to make that illegal in public.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Republicans are retards. Especially the ones who still support trump.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

nah. you're lying.

Of course he is.

 

[Dribble]

Democrats voted for this behavior by joining with 6 traitors to remove the true House Speaker. They voted to highlight turmoil. This is on them. But that fact will fall on deaf ears

Exactly, it is the events that are at issue not necessarily any specific individual.

The individuals make up the event, genius.

he's very repressed and frustrated with his station in life.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

nah. you're lying.

Why would I care if video footage is released?

It’s odd that these guys are complaining about video footage being released. There have been tons of video clips out there in the aftermath of 1/6.
