The U.S. public is purposefully being kept in the dark about what actually happened on January 6. But it isn’t Donald Trump or his associates that stand in the way — it’s the Democrat-led Congress.
The Capitol Police are seeking to shut down a legal request for its communications and surveillance video on January 6, as was requested in connection with a Judicial Watch lawsuit.
The Congress that oversees the Capitol Police has blocked it from releasing the footage, because it is preposterously not in the “public interest,” nor is it a matter of “public record.” It is also claiming “sovereign immunity.”
The Speaker Pelosi-led House “has argued that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and that ‘sovereign immunity’ prevents citizens from suing for their release,” Judicial Watch pointed out.
On January 21, 2021, Judicial Watch issued a request for the following:
• Email communications between the U.S. Capitol Police Executive Team and the Capitol Police Board concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021.
• Email communications of the Capitol Police Board with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021.
• All video footage from within the Capitol between 12 pm and 9 pm on January 6, 2021.
According to Judicial Watch, the Capitol Police provided the following rationale to the court for continuing to withhold the requested information:

Pretty simple solution. Or attempted solution.
Call your CongressPerson. Advise you have ZERO intention of voting for them ever again if they don’t push for the release of the footage. Blow up the phones.
Of course, all but 4 or 5, want to see all of these people in prison. Graham being one of the worst.
They only have it because we allow them to have it.
agree..republican party is useless...why even vote anymore
My understanding of sovereign immunity is that it provides protection from lawsuits. I’m not sure how that protects Congress from releasing video footage, even if its damning to them. Embarrassment is not relevant.
‘...we allow them to have it. ‘
A collective WE. I am powerless, you are powerless, IMO.
But I am always hopeful
They can’t let the public see the smoking gun evidence of Nancy and the FBIs false flag operation so they come up with every phony excuse they can think of. These people are garbage.
It might seem to be a harsh comment, but we are dealing with mentally ill and/or corrupt people who have managed to insert themselves into positions where they can inflict their psychoses on a vast population who just want to life their lives in peace.
Heh...”Republicans” eh? Don’t hold your breath.
Oh, I know. I say these things hoping for a spine to appear. But I don’t hope for much.
Trust me I’m not! I’m used to them being weak and limp-wristed. “Restore respect and moderation” or some such garbage.
maybe this year I will just show up at republican meetings and tell them the reason i dont vote or campaign anymore is because they are worthless and there’s no point.
at least they would hear thqt message. and i would feel as if I did something.
It will be leaked.
You’ve summed it up perfectly.
Maybe I’ll become a mole in the democrate campaigns.ha
‘
Mueller’s investigators “accidentally” erased 43 cell phones given to them for their work on the Investigation, and forgot to document the Interviews of four witnesses.
.
I understand your sentiment.
But I think it comes from the fact that we’ve allowed them to pull the wool over our eyes for far too long.
We’ve picked the lesser of two evils. The crappy Republican the Democrat, because a the former is a little better than the latter.
When that changes, everything changes, IMHO.
Clearly a Judicial Watch fishing expedition that has found something that Nancy P doesn’t want exposed.
i would wager that some of the emails would make for good House mid term election campaign material.
If those tapes disappear.....people will go to jail....no matter what.
Who has the most to lose? Losers. That should translate into “Democrats”, without much ambiguity. Why should they maintain a coverup? Isn’t that what the guilty do?
If we start to see the DOJ drop charges against these people rather than turn it over to them, you’ll know the video evidence has a lot of damning information in it.
