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:

The protesters on Jan. 6th were not the enemies of America. Pelosi and her commiecrats weree and ARE!!!
I think the Feddies should either make January 6th an official government holiday or knock off all this bullsh*t about it.
'Sovereign immunity for me, .. but not for thee !'
Hypocrisy should be elevated to a crime when used for an excuse to prevent justice.
You can't have judicial hearings on 'security', when the person in charge of security isn't even being questioned,
or, submit sworn testimony
Absent that vital testimony by Pelousey , that makes the entire process less credible than 'hearsay testimony' which doesn't even make the minimum of judicial process.
Of course everyone forgets if they even knew that a Trump supported Roslyn Boyland was trampled to death by Antifa types during the Jan6th demonstration.

Graham is a Senator; not in Pelosi’s Congress.
