House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Democrat-majority Congress seeks to keep 14,000 hours of January 6 security footage from public view using claims of “sovereign immunity”, transparency watchdog Judicial Watch revealed.
Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against U.S. Capitol Police over their refusal to provide any records in response to a prior request made on January 21, 2021 seeking email communications between Capitol Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) concerning Capitol security on and around January 6 — including “all video footage from within the Capital between 12 pm and 9 pm” on the day of the riot.
As Congress is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Judicial Watch sued them under “common law right of access to public records,” detailing Supreme Court and other precedent that highlights the American people’s right to know what their government is doing.
COVER-UP: Pelosi Congress claiming "sovereign immunity" in federal court to hide 14,000 hours of January 6 videos and hundreds of emails. Also says they aren't public records and there's no public interest in their release! https://t.co/xts0j4Xb6f pic.twitter.com/FAJqDwPgbh

“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,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“The hypocrisy is rich,” Fitton charged, “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.”
Judicial Watch first gained fame and acclaim among conservatives in the 1990s, when it secured major wins against President Bill Clinton and generally beleaguered his administration.
Some have speculated that the hidden security footage may reveal actions taken by potentially undercover federal assets, who have been suspected of embedding themselves within the protesting crowds and encouraging, animating, or outright participating in violence that day.

— Rep. Matt Gaetz (@RepMattGaetz) June 16, 2021
The prospect of undercover federal involvement in the riots was originally spearheaded by Revolver News’ Darren Beattie, whose in depth reporting on individuals such as Ray Epps revealed a “massive web of unindicted operators at the heart of January 6.”
The revelations prompted a select group of House Republicans to push for investigations into the FBI and other agencies over their likely role in what could be viewed as a federal sabotage of the peaceful election protest, and for the cessation of what has been described as the indefinite detainment of American citizens in Joe Biden’s Washington, D.C. “Gulag” who were “entrapped” in the plot.
“These are not hardened thugs, murderers, or gang members with long histories of crimes,” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) said in December 2021 during a press conference. “These are not unruly or dangerous, violent criminals. These are dads, brothers, veterans, teachers. All political prisoners who continue to be persecuted endure the pain of unjust suffering.”

“Why won’t you publicly release the hours and hours of video surveillance taken on January 6th? What are you afraid of? What are you hiding?” Gosar asked.
“The heart of this country is equal treatment, especially by the courts. The public demands and the defendants deserve equal justice under the law. What is being described by these political prisoners is nothing short of human rights violations. The silence from the ACLU & Amnesty International is deafening.”

I have to ask. Under what law would the seditionist socialist Democrat Pelosi receive the death penalty? I believe there are one or two, but I ask as I believe so many here just want to kill her due to pure political demagoguery.
As a conservative constitutionalist, I believe Due Process under proper laws is essential, especially at a time like this when a number of seditionists belong in the docket.

she didn’t have transparency when she went and got her hair done during Covid lockdown of all kinds of businesses especially the one where she got her hair done !!
she gave some excuse as to why she exempt than instead of telling the truth!!
So why would she release anything that proves it’s all to discredit the Right using another made-up protection law while claiming she has ultimate power over the land to do as she see fit !!
Until the Republicans in government actually get off their collective a$$es and actually do what they are supposed to do for/in the way of justice nothing is going to change!!
IMO it’s just proving they all in the criminal business together

For a second consecutive year, the Obama administration set a record for times federal employees told citizens, journalists and others that despite searching they couldn’t find a single page of files that were requested.”

How ironic, I just read Psalms 82:1 today,
“God stands in the divine assembly,[sentencing or judging Judges & Governors appointed by God as political leaders, see
Ex21:6,22:8; 2Ch19:5-6] he pronounces judgement among the gods.” [earthly rulers who have failed]
vs2:”How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? [here God formally indicted the appointed officials for social injusticesince their decisions favored those who were wicked!]
I have read more about corrupted Gov’t and Politicians in the Bible, in Ecclesiasties, we are reminded that the Gov’t is the most corrupted of all! Wealth and Power overtakes even the best amd most caring politicians! However, he tells us to have faith in him, God is still in control of the world, knowing their eternal destiny, is to satisfy our grief and despair! We cannot put out faith in men or women of gov’t! period!

Jan6, 2021 I was recovering from the Wu-Flu and had aDr. appt. and
left the office noon-ish. Got in my car and radio’s telling me my people are “rioting” in D.C. I rushed home and put the TV and radio onand saw the big 3 newsfeeds, pretty much “Raw Footage” they never showed in the J6 “hearings (show Trial” I saw tons of people (estimates 1 to 3 million), Capital guards moving barricades and welcoming people intothe Capital area. They showed CNN equipment thrown around, news people were escorting MAGA attired peop;e into the Capital area. J6 show trial never explained why Pelosi and Bowser
never took Trump’s recommendation for National Guard Troops to back-up Capital and Metro Police !! If I hadn’t waited a month for Dr. appt. I would have been on a bus to Trump’s rally on J6.

The only immunity Nancy Pelosi is worried about is the part that covers up her involvement in creating the Jan 6 issue in the first place. Find the proof on the offer of 10,000 National Guardsmen/women and she’s toast.

All immunity from harm government officials, courts justices, and departments working for the government, businesses hold need to be removed altogether.
All information needs to be available to all citizens upon request immediately and not days down the road. All information in court, and trials needs to be released upon request.
All the enabling of hiding information has been and is doing is creating more harm than good. It has endangered us all. Until the removal is done then all anyone is doing is enabling the circle of harm to grow and spread to cause more harm and never end. Truth needs to be available at all times to anyone and never be allowed to be hidden. It is all too obvious no one person or entity is able to keep and manage the safety of anyone.

Last I checked the USA has NO SOVEREIGNS! I have jokingly called her Empress Pelosi for the last several years; is she taking that seriously? Seriously! No, Empress, to my knowledge there is no such thing as “sovereign power” in the USA, unless you count the authority you refused to exercise to call out the National Guard on January 6! So, maybe charges should be filed against you! Maybe that’s what you’re talking about!
