That would make more sense since the feds have the tapes anyway. They just used the ones they wanted for their own purposes.

I imagine all the feds were masked

Why are they doing this? This is precisely why you should release the tapes.

It’s pretty clear they weren’t.

Is there anyone out there who could put pressure on Johnson, and force him to release the tapes unblurred?

Odd how Politico left the “retaliation” part out of its headline...

“The DOJ already has it all or the equivalent of it all. This is con reason. We all know what the real reason is.”
It is reassuring to see that 3 people already posted the same obvious truth, that the DOJ already has all the footage. The attempted gaslighting by Politico doesn’t work on the average American. But they keep trying.

Sounds like Johnson is following Pelosi’s footsteps.

This is wrong.

The tapes are PUBLIC record of a PUBLIC place of people out in PUBLIC. There is no expectation of privacy.

They’re blurring the faces to not identify the feds in the crowd.

Exactly. You can tell that a politician is lying because his lips are moving.

Thus far, he seems to lack focus. Blurring the faces will make the release of the tapes far less impactful.

That’s one possibility, but knowing how rabid the DOJ, is my vote is that it is to protect those who haven’t been hounded by the feds.

The Feds are the ones with the unredacted footage. They don’t want us to see it.

Johnson has also said he will not be blurring the faces of the Feds and undercover agents and informants

If he follows through, it could be interesting
