Judicial Watch is challenging the U.S Capitol Police as they block Judicial Watch’s lawsuit to gain access to videos and emails related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Why can’t the public see the videos and emails, especially Nancy Pelosi’s? The alleged reason is that Congress won’t let the police release them. They claim there is no public interest in their release. They are also insisting that sovereign immunity prevents citizens from suing for their release.
At the same time, the J6 witch hunt committee is demanding everything from anyone tied to the J6 rally. Additionally, they are demanding every note and every record of Donald Trump that never should have been turned over under Executive Privilege. Democrats went scorched earth on Executive Privilege.
The suit was filed by Judicial Watch under the common law right of access after the Capitol Police refused to provide requested records in January 2021.
The watchdog organization requested emails between the USCP executive and the Capitol Police Board, the FBI, the DoJ, the DHS on J6. They also requested videos within the Capitol on that day.
The suit was filed under the common law right of access to public records because Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act.
Democrats don’t want transparency and won’t release records. At best, they slow-walk some. They really dislike FOIA.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said of the issue, “The Pelosi Congress (and its police department) is telling a federal court it is immune from all transparency under law and is trying to hide every second of its January 6 videos and countless emails. The hypocrisy is rich, as this is the same Congress that is trying to jail witnesses who, citing privileges, object to providing documents to the Pelosi rump January 6 committee.”

Of course Pelosi won’t make the Emails and Video available. That would blow the lid off of the Black Op and destroy any chance for the cover up to succeed. All the Video should have been released the day of the first arrest as part of discovery. We are now seeing how Despots conduct a political prosecution and if the Government can get away with this “the Government” will come after you without any restraint if you disagree with the Oligarchy in the Future. We are way beyond the Government treachery of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Democrats now use AntiFa/BLM to reign terror instead of the National Guard. As late as 2012, The Government was still covering up for the Kent State Massacre by refusing to reopen the investigation. There are still questions about FBI informant (Terry Norman) involvement at Kent State. Of course, Hoover, denied that the FBI had any informants at Kent State. When we get to the bottom of the FBI and Intel Community involvement on J6, we will know the truth.
Hiding something?
Are these the “disrupters” co-president Pelosi spoke of?
