Republicans Are Blurring the Faces of Capitol Rioters so They Won't Get Arrested
House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the release of Jan. 6 security footage has been delayed in order to blur the faces of rioters.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has promised to release more than 44,000 hours of surveillance footage from Jan. 6 to the public, with one major caveat: The faces of some individuals who participated in the storming of the Capitol, a violent attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s election, will be blurred out.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Johnson said that “the release of the January 6 tapes is a critical and important exercise, we want transparency … we trust — House Republicans trust — the American people to draw their own conclusions.”
Johnson added that the party is going “through a methodical process of releasing them as quickly as we can” and that they “have to blur some of the faces of the 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 and to have other, you know, concerns and problems.”

isn't this a government for the people by the people, why can't you go and hang out in the building for a bit?
Can't tell if this whole post is actually just a troll but oh well. Maybe this take is just as stupid as it's coming off.
Yeah, you can go and hang out in the building. But there are also rules as to when. Because, you know, you can't just have thousands of people walking in and bothering the government when they're actually doing like, important business. Especially when the literal intention of the people being there is to disrupt the process.
You can't just have every Billy Joe who disagrees with any action that the government is trying take come in and start causing a ruckus. Nothing would ever get done ever.
So yes, you can come hang out. It's open. They give tours. But it's not a fucking "free for all anything goes" because otherwise the government would literally never function.
