House Speaker Mike Johnson's admission on Tuesday that the unreleased January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot video footage will have faces of those involved blurred is raising questions across social media...
Johnson released an initial 90 hours of footage in November, shared by the Committee on House Administration, but two weeks later no further footage has been released...
"As you know, we have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don't want them to be retaliated against and be charged by the DOJ," Johnson said.
In a statement emailed to Newsweek, Raj Shah, deputy chief of staff for communications for Johnson, clarified and said: "Faces are to be blurred from public viewing room footage to prevent all forms of retaliation against private citizens from any non-governmental actors. The Department of Justice already has access to raw footage from January 6, 2021."..
Since the release of the footage, many Republicans, particularly supporters of Trump aligned with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, have claimed the videos will help confirm their narrative that the events that transpired on January 6 were not a violent storming of the Capitol building in response to Trump's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden...

The FBI operatives and informants?
I assume it might be to protect participants at the rally from Antifa thugs and the like.
In other words, FBI and other official instigators
The FBI agents and their plants within the crowd.
The weaponized DOJ already has the tapes, un-redacted, to retaliate against anyone they want. I’m not buying this lame excuse. They are hiding the feds that the DOJ CANNOT prosecute, obviously.

“”As you know, we have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and be charged by the DOJ,” Johnson said.”
“The Department of Justice already has access to raw footage from January 6, 2021.””
This makes no sense.
Why ? To protect the complicit Federal and local agents and law enforcement officers who may have assisted in a 'false flag' incident.
An unarmed insurrection ..at that !
How ludicrous !!!
Speaker Johnson said, “......we have to blur some of the faces because we
don’t want them to be retaliated against and be charged by the DOJ......”
Johnson's staff later corrected Johnson's nonsensical statement.
From the article:
Protecting the feds. Johnson is no more one of us than McConnell.
-— that’s the excuse Johnson is using, but it still sounds kinda convenient for all the FBI provocateurs that were there and could be exposed ... -——
Equally plausible.
The old bait and switch. Can’t trust any of these SOBs.
Maybe some are as yet anonymous, and finks are out there at the ready for widespread dissemination to the public.
All those in Washington... There is only one I trust to do the right thing.. He has proven he will serve his people.. Over any other situation. He can’t be bought. He won’t compromise on important decisions.. And he has not.. Will not.. Quit.
God’s David...
Bkmk
Because the blurred faces work for the FBI and other FedGov.
Just let it ride....Johnson plays the long game too.
