Will the Public Finally See What Happened in the Capitol Tunnel?

For months, Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice has tried every trick in the law books to conceal from Americans a massive trove of video evidence that captured all the activity at the Capitol complex on January 6. Federal judges have played along, approving hundreds of protective orders to keep video clips—particularly footage recorded by the Capitol Police’s extensive closed-circuit television system—out of the public eye.

Despite numerous discovery delays, Garland’s prosecutors are gradually turning over video evidence to defense attorneys as they prepare for trial. All surveillance video from the Capitol’s security system is designated “highly sensitive” government material; strict rules apply to the handling of every slice of footage.

There’s a reason why. As we have reported at American Greatness for months, one of the most scandalous untold stories about January 6 is egregious police misconduct that, in some instances, amounted to brutality by D.C. Metro and U.S. Capitol police. Had these attacks by law enforcement occured in any other public or private setting against leftist protesters, the national outrage would have resulted in mass firings and immediate calls for criminal investigations.

Thanks for posting. If the videos are released for public viewing, there should follow criminal prosecutions of Capitol Hill police. E

It appears they murdered with intent unarmed participants trapped in a Capitol tunnel. I’ve been in those tunnels. There is no way out if exits are blocked.

These thugs in police uniforms go beyond sheer knuckleheads that should have been weeded out, this is vicious murder.

I grew up in the DC area, I had high school friends whose fathers were DC police, all of them honorable as best that I can remember.

What has happened to the core force? Have they learned they can do whatever they want regardless of consequences? If so, where is the Inspector General? He or she should be on the hot seat.

We can bet the horrific events will be buried by the Marxist Media.

Before 2001 tourists could roam the Capitol, even what I think you’re calling the tunnels’......It was a conduit for Congress members to get from here to there without encountering nosy visitors....
....there is even a dining room down there

I had been visiting my Florida representative and the Capitol and accidentally found myself down there.....(I am terrible with directions)
....saw Ted Kennedy....( was not thrilled)

Anyway it was subdued light, very narrow corridors
If this is where they mean.....I shudder to imagine the horror
We have a right to see these videos!

Another Julie Kelly story which extends these issues and connects them to current events: Tyre Nichols Isn’t the Only Victim Entitled to the Truth.

This gathers together some disparate facts of potentially great importance. Many know of Ashley Babbit being shot by a Capital cop as one of 4 MAGA deaths on 1/6 and of the several cops in attendance who'd died over the next few days of what the coroners now say were unrelated causes but for whose deaths the left continues to try to blame the 1/6 MAGA folks. The other 3 MAGA deaths were Rosanne Boyland, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips. Hadn't seen the latter two's names in print in quite a while. Boyland's has received some attention on the right as allegedly having been bludgeoned to death by a DC Metro cop, who's named in this piece. We've recently had video put out showing CPR on Boyland then. According to this piece Capital cops had no body cameras but DC cops did, so why haven't they released this cops's video of that victim's alleged encounter? Might look too much like Tyre Nichols footage?

Then Kelly mentions the rampant flash bang usage by cops and provides a short video in which one appears to go off within a 1/6 crowd, followed after a short delay by someone appearing to collapse, but being caught by a bystanders. The proximity of the flash bang, the delay and the collapse evoked memories in me of Damar Hamlin's on field collapse. Might this video be one one of the 'coincidental' MAGA heart attack deaths and might it represent instead "commotio cordis" from the shock wave produced by that flash bang? In which case might one or more of those 'coincidental' MAGA heart attacks instead represent the kind of incident related deaths the left has been attempting to project onto the 1/6 protesters and the cop deaths? I don't know, even don't know whether the person collapsing was one of the heart attack deaths. But it should be knowable and is worth further investigations by proper folks with access to relevant materials, eg. the House.
