House Speaker Mike Johnson has made a long-anticipated move, with plans to release thousands of hours of surveillance footage from the events of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol.
On Friday, he declared his intention to make these tapes available for public viewing, marking an important step in ongoing discussions concerning that day’s occurrences.
“Today, I am keeping my promise to the American people and making all the January 6th tapes available to ALL Americans.”

On Thursday, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., announced during an interview on Sirius XM’s “The Wilkow Majority” that footage will be made available to the public through a special website. This would enable any member of the public who wishes to view the videos to do so.
‘“The way that the Jan. 6 tapes will be released will be through a website where any member of the public can go and observe the videos that are being released,” Gaetz said.
“My expectation is they’re going to be released in tranches and that the first tranche of the Johnson tapes to be released will be in days, not weeks,” he added.

In January 2021, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy vowed to release all the Jan 6 footage from the Capitol as Congress began this session with a Republican majority. However, despite his assurances, he ultimately gave exclusive access to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson of 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 protests.
As a result, the public was not able to view this material and many political prisoners were left without justice or representation.
Convictions have been handed down for those who simply walked into an open door of the US Capitol and then left minutes later upon being asked.
Chris Wray is continuing to hunt down Trump supporters who stood outside of the US Capitol that day while DC prosecutors are still withholding evidence from families and prisoners in trials held at DC courts.
It is imperative that these injustices be addressed swiftly so that political prisoners may receive due process under the law.

So, what’s the big deal about that? Haven’t we seen enough of the violent insurrection, instigated and cheered by Trump?
Only a Moron who watches the fake news CNN and MSNBC would believe hearsay about what happened on J6 without any evidence to back it up, must be a Communist Democrat voter.
AMEN to that
LOL
Go back to sleep.
That was unlawful entrapment! the only “rioting ” was antifa/blm/fbi infiltrators who arrived 1st and did damage, changed clothes to look like Trump supporters, and “rioted” after most of the Trump folks had gone on their ways, following their Capitol Police guided tours of the Capitol bldg.
I will say a prayer for your soul tonight Jorg.
Now we will see where President Trump NEVER SAID to protest in violence instead President Trump said peacefully.
The Communist compromised DC police will be seen shooting Ashley and beating another woman violently.
Communist Piglosi and her POS daughter were outside filming it as if it were a movie the classifieing their video to hide it from the public.
Those are the ones who were involved in the J6 scam to go after President Trump and lock up the people without Due Process (Illegally) and without representation.
The Communist compromised FBI was working with the domestic terrorists Antifa posing as Trump supporters should be executed.
Ms Babcock also died, murdered by police.
You nailed that one with a SLEDG HAMMER. Good for you
Haha! Jorg, you have only seen what was choriagraphed by the Wicked Drunken Witch of the West. Just wait til you see the truth. oh, I know that you truth may not agree with reality, but sooner or later the democrat and rino lies are going to be exposed by the light of day. Jorg, keep a strong upper lip, cream puff.
We have heard ALL this before, the tapes are not released until all are released. They always find a way to stonewall.
Get those prisoners released NOW and maybe we will give you a little trust.
What we all really want to know is why the recent attacks on the white house and why the BLM all haven’t been arrested and sitting in jail without representation for months and months. Biden just got away with having government documents that weren’t even protected at all (some sitting in his garage) yet Trump is being prosecuted while he admitted to having them, they were in a secure and protected area which is his right as the outgoing President . So much crime, yet, only Republicans seem to be the one who actually are prosecuted and NOT in a timely fashion. DEMOCRATS ARE SO TWO FACED AND WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! It is very sad for all Americans because some people will stand for a name rather than the truth. America is in a crisis…retired folks are having a hard time even buying food but we still have pay for the illegal immigrants who gets everything for free. WE the regular people of the United States have to pay millions in taxes to support wars in foreign countries, pay for all the illegals, pay for abortions, so many things we as Americans pay each day yet our senior citizens are losing their homes. Democrats keep talking about helping the middle class, well, as a senior citizen I am not up in the middle class. Gas is out of control, interest rates have increased my house payment by $300 per month, food is up, everything but Democrats still keep saying Biden is doing a good job. WELL, I AGREE, HE IS DOING A GOOD JOB OF DESTROYING AMERICA. He and the Democrats have America in free fall to becoming one of poorest countries in the world.
So True Trish, I to am a senior citizen 66 yrs. old and on Medicare drawing SS and only getting $535.00 a month. Those Communist Bastards are only helping illegals by giving them up to $1,500 to $2,000 a month from SS benefits.
I will never look at Communist Democrats as human beings they are Demons allowing Americans to be murdered.
Prayers for the whole family. If, I only had money. Yahweh save our poor souls Amen.
It’s about time. Maybe the truth my finely come out, and we will see who was really behind the whole thing.
