BREAKING: House Releases 5,000 Hours of J6 Footage Without Blurred Faces

Speaker Mike Johnson has just announced the release of over 5,000 hours of footage from the January 6, 2021 Capitol protests.

He noted that no faces will be blurred to hide the identities of those involved.

The House Administration Committee released 5,000 hours of additional security footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as part of House Speaker Mike Johnson‘s (R-LA) promise to make all surveillance videos available for public access.

Johnson said in a statement on Friday that the committee will no longer plan to blur the faces of the people in the footage “given the significant logistic hurdles involved and the importance of getting this work completed as responsibly and efficiently as possible.” Previously released footage with blurred faces will be reuploaded without the blurs.

“House Republicans again commend Chairman Loudermilk and the entire Committee on House Administration for their ongoing commitment to ensuring that there is full transparency surrounding the events of January 6,” the speaker said.

“This ongoing work is especially necessary considering the deeply flawed prior investigation conducted by the partisan January 6 select committee, which instead of delivering transparency, has contributed to defendants, public interest groups, and the media having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” he said.

The Independent also said:

On Friday, with the release of 5,000 hours of raw footage, his office announced that rioters’ faces won’t be blurred “given the significant logistic hurdles involved and the importance of getting this work completed as responsibly and efficiently as possible”.

Last year, Mr Johnson and House Republicans vowed to release thousands of hours of footage from the attack on the Capitol, fulfilling a promise to far-right members of the party who have downplayed the riots and accused federal law enforcement of selectively prosecuting political opponents who stormed the halls of Congress.

Mr Johnson played a central effort among members of Congress to reject Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election, a campaign supported by baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud that fuelled the Capitol attacks.

On Friday, Mr Johnson called investigations into the attack and the bipartisan House Select Committee investigation into January 6 “deeply flawed” and opaque, forcing defendants, the media and others to rely on the “interpretation of a small group of government officials” for an event that was live streamed by hundreds of people.

This move by the House GOP comes just after Blaze reporter Steve Baker was arrested this morning by the FBI for his live reporting on J6.

Glenn Beck shared footage of Baker’s reporting on J6, begging the question of just what exactly he was taken into custody for…
