In another interesting twist, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer made an announcement that could even further damage the already-weakened narrative put forth by the left regarding the J6 riot. Since House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) decided to release all of the footage taken on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol building, the riot has become a topic of conversation once again.
Former U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson, who was present at the Capitol on that day, has been challenging the government narrative on the incident and has indicated that the authorities on the ground were ill-prepared for what happened. Now, he indicated that he would be releasing audio recordings that could further blow up the prevailing narrative and suggested a “set-up” and cover-up surrounding the issue.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Johnson indicated that he had spoken with legal counsel to understand the legalities surrounding the release of the audio to make sure he wasn’t opening himself up to legal problems.
The former police officer said he had entrusted the information to Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch and indicated that a journalist working with The Blaze “has permission to receive the info and do whatever he believes is best with that info in the unlikely event I disappear.”
Johnson ended by noting that officers from every agency that responded to the riot “should have been more prepared that day.”
UPDATE: I spoke to my lawyer and I told him what my plans are as it relates to releasing information on X about the J6 set-up and the cover-up that ensued after. I wanted to see what if any legal ramifications I’d be facing when I do. He stated he didn’t see any and if something arose we would deal with it together. So it’s a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With that said, I ask for everyone to be patient as I’m going to do this right and I have to make another post before I load the 12-hour radio run to my page. Additionally, I am not a tech person so I will also have to learn to load large documents and audio files from my computer to X so I’m going to need a little more time. I still have to work in the middle of all this and I’m dealing with family stuff at the same time but you have my word I will get everything done by next week. Hopefully by Wednesday.
Some worry that something may happen to me prior to releasing the info. You can rest easy with that. Tom Fitton of Judical Watch has the info along with my attorney. Also @TPC4USA (who you all should be following) has permission to receive the info and do whatever he believes is best with that info in the unlikely event I disappear. The man only wants the truth no matter where it leads.
Please know that I am fighting for EVERYONE that was aggrieved from the events of J6 and UNITY in our country. I’m not doing this for any financial gain now or in the future but for the reasons I listed above by order of the God I serve. I am a LION and I will protect my cubs. In this case they are EVERYONE in the J6 community as you were set-up and that should not have happened to you even if you did wrong things that day. The police from all 17 agencies that responded to the Capitol to defend it as we should have been more prepared that day. All the people that died on J6 or as a result from that day. All whistleblowers from every agency that put their careers in jeopardy and or lost them because they wanted the truth out and saw what was happening to US citizens because of J6.
Thank you for listening and God bless the greatest nation in the world and all the people in it. — Tarik Johnson (@elleonCEOTK) November 30, 2023
On Sunday, Johnson released some of the audio, which included communication showing that a high-ranking Capitol officer was not cooperating with the effort to stop the situation from getting even further out of control.
"Here we go... Episode 1," he wrote. "The mainstream media is telling you that J6 was an insurrection. Please tell me if the actions of Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman were heroic and proper. To give so some context Pittman's call sign is Unit 2 and she is sitting on a dias in the USCP Commander Center where she can hear the radio traffic and she has a 360 degree view of the outside of the Capitol."
Johnson added, "She can also see the actives inside the Capitol where there is a camera. Chief Steven A Sund was on the phone trying to obtain approval for the National Guard's assistance and assistance from other law enforcement agencies. I was on the ground trying to de-escalate the situation specially asking Pittman for help. My call sign was 405J-John."

The audio backs up criticism against the Capitol Police that it failed to take decisive action on Jan. 6 despite having been warned about potential violence previously. He also called out Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger for opposing the release of the J6 footage and using non-disclosure agreements to keep officers silent.
This release introduces another dimension to the discourse surrounding J6. Johnson’s former position as a police officer gives him a perspective that those interested in weaponizing the incident against their political opposition would not want anyone to hear. There is a reason why the anti-Trump House Select Jan. 6 Committee would not bother to take testimony from Johnson.
As more footage continues to be released, it can only be expected that those claiming it was an “insurrection” that was “worse than 9/11” will have to spin harder to maintain their frantic narrative about the matter.
Release the political prisoners NOW.

Within two hours of the incursion into the Capitol, I thought it was a Reichstag Fire setup to blame conservatives and Trump supporters. Nothing since that time has convinced me that it was a well planned plot to get hotheads, augmented by Federal agents and Antifa in MAGA gear, to cause havoc in our nation’s capital. The Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Alex Jones and his crew were played for fools. Even President Trump should have realized, when Pelosi refused National Guard protection, that there were plans to entrap the protesters.
Reichstag Fire setup to blame conservatives and Trump supporters
Totally agree
Lt Johnson is not suicidal. Wonder if the other two officers’ story will be told?
Trump likely did realize that, at least in terms of internalizing the official abuse he suffered at the hands of Pelosi that day. She unaccountably prevented Trump’s idea, of deploying 10,000 national guard troops to the Capitol, from moving forward. Surely Trump’s heart began to sink in real time when he realized Pelosi was gleefully inviting disaster by stonewalling him. He must have thought—Nancy’s up to something very, very bad.
He sounds like he will be very depressed very soon
Pelosi knew she had nothing to worry about. Trump was very weak in dealing with her.
When she smirkingly tore up the SOTU on live TV, she should have been hauled out of there immediately and have lost her position as Speaker and been at least censured if not impeached as a Representative.
In fact, Trump was weak in dealing with the Dems in general. So Nancy just took it and ran with it.
Oh please ... what do you think would have happened if Trump had asked for Pelosi to be removed and censured? How would that have played out in the media?
If anyone should have done something at that point, it was Pence (who was sitting right there and saw her scoring the SOTU script in order to rip it up) or her fellow “Members”. Pelosi knew (& still knows) that she is above the Law.
Then deport those former billionaires to Palestine, and give the IDF free reins to eliminate all of the problems in the land of Gaza.
You’re right.
Nancy must have been handed, well in advance, for her approval, the overall plan that the FBI, and AntiFa, and whomever else, had cooked up to victimize peaceful protestors.

Your revisionist history is remarkable.
Clearly you have zero grip on reality.
Thank you for showing everyone what a seriously unserious person you are.
Has Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch and The Blaze independently confirmed any of this or did this guy just send them some mail so he could say he notified them?
J6 like the election and Trump inquisition was just another democrat operation for full control.
In January 2024, Speaker Johnson should return the favor at Biden’s State of the Union address.
If Johnson did that, he’d be in very hot water (likely with his fellow “R’s” leading the way) ...
but I do wish there was some sort of “protest” of Biden’s (with handlers/cronies) Rule by Fiat & blatant disregard of Court Decisions & the Law
