NBC News ^ | 5 Dec 23 | Ryan J. Reilly

Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that House Republicans are blurring footage from the Capitol attack before releasing it publicly because they don't want Jan. 6 rioters to be charged with crimes.

"We have to blur some faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ," Johnson said Tuesday.

Simple. The FBI plants are wearing Trump gear.

The FBI already has the clear images. This is to protect the FBI agents involved from discovery.

Why doesn’t someone call this guy on his bee ess?

It would be great if they blurred just the protesters and not the FBI agents and informers. THAT would be a great Christmas present.

Just check the shoes. If they are wearing business-style shoes, they are FBI plants.

Are they going to blur feet, too? ( Just wondering.)

I would assume Mike Johnson has been threatened by the FBI.

They weren’t and aren’t rioters. They’re law abiding US Citizens that were exercising their 2nd amendment right to assemble.

Just check the shoes. The FBI are wearing business-style shoes. The Trump supporters are wearing comfy sneakers.

When I robbed banks they always blurred my face, too. Don’t want criminals getting caught now, do we.

What a joke. This isn’t to protect citizens. The FBI already has what they need.

Quit BS ing us Johnson. Just forget it. Blurring it makes them useless and we know it.

Yep, how else was the fbi able to dragnet 1,000 people already if they don’t already have the tapes?

The FBI and DOJ have had the raw footage for 3 years. They still have the (not blurred) original footage.

The only reason to keep us from seeing it is to protect LEOs comfiting their illegal acts.

What a apathic excuse. The new speaker needs to go. Is their not one politician left in DC who is not owned by the deep state?

Good question, but what the DOJ has done to J6 political prisoners is criminal. Question is, should precautions be taken?
