Yes. You read that right. Johnson is saying that he is intentionally hiding insurrectionists from prosecution in the release of tapes that Republicans claim will vindicate them on January 6th.

    Far-right Republicans like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and former President Donald Trump have praised Johnson’s promise to release the footage, saying it will “prove” that the activities of Jan. 6, 2021, were peaceful.

    Only morons and guilty people believe this. I saw evidence to the contrary on live broadcast.

      I was gonna say, we watched the events play out live on both news and social media. Peaceful protestors don’t scale the walls of the capitol building, bulldoze baracades, and threaten capitol police, all while chanting stop the steal.

      That’s like saying a school shooting was peaceful because over 99.9% of people weren’t being violent.
