Speaker Mike Johnson says he's blurring Jan. 6 footage so rioters don't get charged

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

[usurper]

How do you tell the ‘rioters’ from the FBI plants?

They have done the work for us. Just count the number of people who's faces are blurred and we can now count the number of agents who participated.

The deep state is not as bright as they think they are.

[Dacula]

Censorship is still censorship.

The FIB already has a clear copy of the videos. Is is all a crock of bull by Mike’s Johnson.

[Chgogal]

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

Phone tracking.

[PGR88]

huh? Sounds like a fake/stupid reason

The FBI has had almost 3 years to go after anyone and everyone they wanted, most of the time with the cooperation of Pelosi and the Dems in Congress.

He wants us to believe they will glean some new information from viewing released video????

[Mathews]

Me thinks there was a deal struck. Blurred faces to protect informants and agents, in exchange for release of the video. He’s running cover for the fedbois.

[MayflowerMadam]

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Protecting the feds, not the patriots.

[MayflowerMadam]

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

Geofencing.

[entropy12]

Why? So FBI sponsored instigators will be protected,?

[lepton]

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

---

Because he’s already corrected his statement, but the same headline is still going around.

[detch]

Mike Johnson texts me for cash every single day.

He’s not doing anything else as far as I know.

Jan 6 folks — STILL — left out in the cold.

Nobody gives a crap about them.

A POX on them all, Republican and Democrat — totally self indulged.

[JonPreston]

Deaar Speaker Mike; you can rest assured the FIB has unblurred copies, or will have them very soon. Please, it’s time to fully understand what we’re up against.

[JoSixChip]

The FBI already has the clear images.

This is an example of why the new speaker can not be trusted. He is directly lying to us.

[the_Watchman]

It is worse than just obscuring the Federal plants. Blurring faces makes the tapes useless for J6 defense lawyers!

[Seruzawa]

He didn’t say “rioters” you media scum.

[mass55th]

"How do you tell the ‘rioters’ from the FBI plants?................"

The FBI no doubt, have already edited those videos to remove or blur out their assets from Jan. 6th.

[coalminersson]

the ones waving and yelling go in, go in (to the capitol) are FBI. The ones with badges holding the doors open and escorting peaceful “insurrectionists” are cap cops. The ones walking between the ropes, taking photos, walking, and sitting behind desks are “insurrectionists.”

[pas]

It also now gives the media a reason to call anything they do not like doctored video.

[Revel]

What is worse than Mike Johnson doing nothing to release the J6 Tapes?

That would be in trying to con us about the reason he is not releasing them in a way that they can be used to prove anything. Playing us as gullible.

[enumerated]

The FBI uses face recognition software to match up Jan 6 protesters with social media. But that only goes so far, since many of us don’t have pictures on the internet.

However, once the footage is released to the public, democrats can start turning in their neighbors and coworkers, etc., and don’t think they won’t do it.

If I was there that day, I’d want my face blurred. Just sayin’.

[JimRed]

They’re law abiding US Citizens that were exercising their 2nd amendment right to assemble.

That's the First amendment, I believe.
