House Speaker Mike Johnson’s January 6 Tape Confession Destroys GOP’s Favorite Talking Point

House Speaker Mike Johnson just accidentally obliterated the Republican Party’s favorite conspiracy theory: that the January 6 insurrection was carried out by undercover federal agents and members of antifa.

Johnson told a press conference Tuesday that the GOP is editing footage of the insurrection to prevent the Justice Department from potentially identifying rioters.

“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 to be charged by the DOJ,” he said.

And with just one sentence, Johnson has given away the entire game. Republicans have spent the past nearly three years insisting that the riot was caused by antifa, Black Lives Matter protesters, and even undercover FBI agents. But if that’s true, then why would the GOP want to shield those people from identification?

BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBERS?TRUMP LOYALISTS!
And the video is how most of them got caught ALREADY.
Because the UNEDITED version shows all the violence committed!
Once again, the Republican lies are proven wrong. This time by a man that has spouted the lies at every opportunity.

Is this true?

A simple search for Mike Johnson J6 will show you all you need to know. This clown is two steps away from the presidency.

Hope

try to think critically.

how does the GOP have jurisdiction over what footage investigators see?

of all the LEO and facilities/secirity cam footage how much have you actually seen?

reducing this to a bizarre set of partisan talking points whichever side you fall on does not do you, an individua citizenl or the country any good.

it is easier to work back from the eventual extremely abstract consequences and extrapolate from that who did what, why and what their motives might have been.

the founding fathers opposed political parties and built some of the republic's check and balances to stop a cynical dynastic elite - a de facto aristocracy that would eventually emerge from being able to cycnically game the system.

howevere all that has eventually come to pass and over the last century or so not only has the republic reached a sorry state, civically,
but also politico-economcally the corporatist arm of the permanent managerial class has sought to extract every last drop of wealth built either on the backs of the american citizen's labor and ingenuity or their actual tax dollars. then there is the deliberate socio-economic decay currently being presided over the precious party you think has your back,. spoiler alert: none of them do.

but here you are posting partisan zombie talking points while rome burns, so to speak,

i always thought our sub cultures were classically liberal because we valued freedom and having outsider ideas but i see just lockstep conformity with whatever we are told is happening.

sad days

It’s true. He’s quoted in several articles from reputable journals.

"How does the GOP have jurisdiction over what footage investigators see?"
declares rocket scientist jackcharle.

The point Ron was making is that Johnson was so concerned about the DOJ pursuing anyone in the security film he admitted that his staff would edit and blur faces to protect such individuals. Whenever you edit a film or a photo for that matter, it is to direct the viewer's eye to what you want them to see or not to see. It's his concerns, intents, and thoughts that betray the dear Speaker.
Why? "BECAUSE HE KNOWS THEY WERE ALL REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBERS?TRUMP LOYALISTS!

If they knew the rioters were all BLM, Antifa, and FBI undercover agents then the staff would put circles, and arrows throughout the video to point them out, then do what tRUMP wants to do if again made President, SIC THE DOJ ON THEM!

Great point Ron, sorry to intervene. I just thought the dummy could use a rephrasing of your position.

A position that is spot on, I might add.

more pointless partisan nonsense noise.merely re-stating the odious premise of the argument is no rebuttal at all. it either demonstrates total lack of comprehension or a wilful obtuseness for what imaginary purposes, i cannot tell.

taking the stock scripts of these actors as literal gospel truth, you call them clowns cause you are right they are, but they're rodeo clowns helping the show go on without the children getting too upset. they are the ones laughing because the joke is on you and the rest of the american people who take this credulously. .

i am actually residen tin poland these days and currently working in London

i got out when i saw 'the writing on the wall', so to speak [you sdid say "when in rome", rydermantell], when they had literal crime family kids who were ballot box poison getting appointed to exec branch office!
and i am paying double taxation to uncle sam. i.m paying for your social security, ya bums. you should thank me for my service not the poor men and owmen you are callously disregarding being sent to fight our own oligarchy's wars. over this partisan team sports nonsense.

and you are irght about germany, it is a severely messed up place i hate even having my train journey go through it.
i'm not that young but this exactly what you people were telling was wrong with the babyboomers completely deranged by cable news during the afghan invasions and iraq,

your gang is in power now and lemme tell ya i was dreading coming back for the holidays. but now i am sure there must be some kind of mind virus going around!

The point of him doing this is not to inhibit DOJ investigators but to prevent ordinary citizens and civilian groups that have recognized rioters and turned them in from being able to do so again once the full videos are released


rondiri replies on 12/6/2023 10:04 am:
you mean the way the Dept of Justice has ALREADY caught people? The DOJ Already has gone thru the tapes fully

You are aware that the DOJ still has copies and probably many of them. They most likely have the originals and the speaker has new copies. The biggest offenders were already put out there onto social media to be found. The rest most likely do not warrant and punishment. In any case, if you were there on Jan 6 and you did something wrong and are on tape then this will not help you. And hey, if you did nothing wrong, don't worry about it.

Hope

You got that backward. Using your words look in the mirror and see that "thinking is not your favorite activity."
