The 'complex' being the U.S. Capital. I was unaware this was a secret installation like the NSA or Area 51.

Judge G. Michael Harvey sounded floored.
During a detention hearing this week for Robert Morss, arrested last month for his involvement in the Capitol protest, a federal prosecutor told Harvey she needed permission from the government before she could turn over to him a slice of video related to Morss’ case. Joe Biden’s Justice Department continues to seek pre-trial detention for people who protested Biden’s election on January 6; prosecutors want to keep Morss, an Army ranger and high school history teacher with no criminal record, behind bars until his trial can begin next year.
But assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa Jackson hesitated when Judge Harvey asked to see the footage captured by the U.S. Capitol Police surveillance system cited as evidence in government charging documents.
“Why haven’t I seen the video?” Harvey asked Jackson on Wednesday afternoon. She told the judge he could have access to the body-worn camera recordings and public source videos but that the USCP footage is under a protective order, which is common in most January 6 cases.
After Morss’ defense attorney said the photographs in the charging documents did not accurately reflect the video evidence the government gave to her under discovery requirements, Harvey demanded to see it for himself. “And anything you show to me . . . I’ll issue a minute order to release it to the public as well.”
Jackson informed the court she would submit the missing video evidence on Friday.
The hearing is the latest example of how hard the USCP and Justice Department are fighting to keep more than 14,000 hours of surveillance video under wraps. Lawyers for the USCP insist the recordings can’t be released for fear doing so will give wannabe insurrectionists too much information about the inside of the complex;

Anyone who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.
It could be a neighbor or a friend or a relative.

This communist administration is nothing but crimes and secrets wrapped in lies.
That’s what we have lego sets for.
The role of the USCP outside of the Federal Triangle has turned into quite a big deal, without anyone realizing it.
They are not part of the executive branch, and they do not derive their authority from an Article III court.

So the fascist Biden DOJ is going to hold these people in solitary confinement for over a year, then trot them out for a political show trial before the Midterm Elections. Sick. Corrupt.
Very succinct summary of events.
There aren’t any billionaires, or conservative legal groups’ which can help these political prisoners? Thanks Trump for forgetting the forgotten men.
In these cases, as opposed to courts of 'common law', the judicial constraints / safeguards for the defendants are reduced or eliminated for the convenience of the monarch. To the King, it was for efficiency, to the subject, it was a threat!
In this panoply of 6 January cases, the Executive, Biden Administration, is withholding potentially exculpatory (innocence-refutation) facts from the defendants for the government's advantage. Rights of speedy trial and 'habeas corpus' become delayed as the defendants lack the information to dispute the prosecution's case. For precedent in Federal Prosecution of withholding exculpatory evidence, see Republican Senator Ted Stevens (Alaska)'s ugly case (2008) and others.
Yep. This will not end well.
A sizable number of the populace has been given carte blanche to hate, disenfranchise, and even hurt Americans who they don't agree with, resent, or are envious of. Worse, most of the media, social media, and academia support this hatred.
Welcome to Biden’s Weaponized Banana Republic with the DOJ and the FBI acting as his GESTAPO.
I would expect to see a motion to dismiss, with prejudice, on Friday by defense counsel, or release without bail at a minimum.
False Flag government operators must never be outed, didn’t you know?

You mean so they can plan their selfies?
“. . . the election fraud story and the social media propaganda/censorship story are cresting just at the right time for powerful election 2022 material for conservatives.”
Potentially. And a few new conservatives may be elected giving the GOP majorities in the House and Senate. However, if Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy hold the leadership positions, thereby controlling the committee assignments and campaign funds for 2024, do you really anticipate the GOP will be any more effective in its opposition to Biden than it was against Obama from 2015-2017 when Mitch and Paul Ryan controlled Congress?
Electing a few more Republicans who profess to be conservatives does not mean conservative government or even adherence to conservative principles. At best the Republicans in Congress I’ve observed are pragmatists, not principled ideologues. At worst they are active collaborators.
“ In this panoply of 6 January cases, the Executive, Biden Administration, is withholding potentially exculpatory (innocence-refutation) facts from the defendants for the government’s advantage”
I believe these persons are being detained by the US Capitol Police. I do not believe their detention is under the authority of the Executive Branch.
We have really missed the pitch on these cases. There are a couple of things we need to know like - yesterday, such as: Does the Congress (the detaining authority) consider itself bound by Amendments 4, 5 and 6? Does the Congress recognize its prisoners as having the right to a Habeus Corpus petition to an Article III court? Who or what is the ultimate authority who has the power to release these prisoners?
I’m sure there are many other constitutional issues I’ve missed
The $64,000 dollar question, though, is why isn’t this the biggest news story in the history of the Republic?
“ do you really anticipate the GOP will be any more effective in its opposition to Biden”
Biden is a nobody. Any second you spend thinking about “Biden”
Is a second you are not paying attention to who or what is in charge.
The advanced countries have journalists who would be screaming for the release of these videos.
Because once you get the "Banana" in front of that "Republic", things like this are no longer news.
