Last month, House Speaker Mike Johnson took a significant step towards transparency by making the first batch of January 6 footage publicly accessible through the Committee on House Administration website.
This initiative aligns with Johnson’s previous promise to release thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the January 6, 2021 events at the U.S. Capitol.
“Today, I am keeping my promise to the American people and making all the January 6th tapes available to ALL Americans,” Speaker Johnson stated.
In his commitment to truth and transparency, Johnson announced the immediate posting of video on a public website, with plans to quickly add nearly all of the 44,000 hours of footage.
“When I ran for Speaker, I promised to make accessible to the American people the 44,000 hours of video from Capitol Hill security taken on January 6, 2021. Truth and transparency are critical. Today, we will begin immediately posting video on a public website and move as quickly as possible to add to the website nearly all of the footage, more than 40,000 hours. Meanwhile, a public viewing room will ensure that every citizen can view every minute of the videos uncensored,” Johnson said.
The Committee on House Administration (CHA) publicly launched the website with the first tranche of January 6 footage, already setting forth a wave of public scrutiny and analysis.
However, the pace of releasing these tapes has come under scrutiny. Amy Kremer, co-founder of Women for Trump, expressed frustration as only a mere fraction of the promised video content has been published.
She wrote:
JAN 6 TAPES ARE BEING SLOW ROLLED
At the present rate, only 4.7% of J6 TAPES will be released by the end of this
Only 90 hours of J6 tapes have been released
That is only .2% of the total number of hours that the American public has been promised
Speaker Johnson promised to release all of the footage 18 days ago on Nov 17th
In 18 days, only 90 hours of footage has been released
That means they have uploaded the equivalent of 5 hours per day
After the 2024 elections, the new congress will be sworn in on Jan 3, 2025
There are 396 days from today until Jan 3, 2025
We all know they won’t work 396 days
But if they continue to upload the video at the rate of 5 hours a day
They will only upload another 1980 hours
Add that to the 90 hours they have already uploaded and you will have 2070 hours total of J6 tapes
Speaker Johnson promised to release all of the tapes and it has been reported that there are over 44,000 hours of video
2070 hours of video is only 4.7% of the total hours of video
We are being played as they slow roll this!!!
WHY?!?
I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to be quiet
RELEASE THE DAMN TAPES NOW!!!!
They need to be releasing 111 hours per day of J6 footage to have it all released by the time the next Congress is sworn in It could be Democrat controlled, so it has to be done NOW As of today, they haven’t even released 111 hours Why are they slow rolling this?!?
On Tuesday, Speaker Johnson addressed another critical aspect of this release during a press briefing with Jewish students. To protect individuals from potential retaliation or legal consequences, faces in the J6 footage will be blurred.
Johnson emphasized the importance of protecting those who participated in the events of January 6 from DOJ charges and other concerns.
“We’re going through a methodical process of releasing them as quickly as we can. 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 or to be charged by the DOJ,” Johnson explained.
He also mentioned the hiring of additional personnel to expedite this process, ensuring that the American people will ultimately have access to all the footage to form their own opinions on the events of January 6.
WATCH:
BULLSHIT Mr. Speaker! Release every bit UNCENSORED and it must be now because you know that the DOJ has the uncensored version so your claim “rings hollow”!
I don’t consider that transparency when people’s faces are blurred “for their protection”. We need to see EVERYTHING, and only then will we reach “full transparency”.
They destroyed interviews and who knows what the illegal dem panel destroyed. They set this up. Now they’re trying to convict Trump on this so he is in jail. This is priority. The globalist democrats didn’t work for 2 years to steal the election . They made sure to destroy American s that voted for him. Refused national guards.
Watch tucker s interview. Capitol chief police. Never aired but now. They fired Tucker because of more release on j6
My question is WHY?????? SHOW THESE POS FACES TO THE PUBLIC!!! STOP HIDING AND COVERING UP THE TRUTH!! AMERICANS ARE PAST THE FED UP STAGE OR THE GIVE A SHIT STAGE.LET AMERICA SEE THE REAL CRIMINALS!!! HOLD THOSE ACCOUNTABLE WHO ARE GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY !!!!
