Mike Johnson calls to blur Jan. 6 video to protect rioters from DOJ

[Aryeh Jay]

I really don't understand why the Speaker would want to help the Rouge Deep State Soros sponsored Liberal Communist ANTIFA, BLM, and undercover FBI agents that really attacked our Hallowed halls of Democracy escape justice for violating the will of the true American people and giving control over to the Biden Crime family. I wonder if Johnson is one of the undercover deep State operatives...

This explains a lot...for example, why Pelosi was blamed for not requesting any help with the January 6th riot. As they are considered to have jurisdiction at the Capitol, and the Chief of Police for the Capitol Police made multiple requests for National Guard assistance, Pelosi apparently had to approve them (as she was Speaker at the time) and she turned them down repeatedly.

Odd that she isn't being asked as to why she turned those requests down.

A couple of mistakes here. First, there were investigations as to what happened, in regards to the Capitol Police response. I'll link to reporting of the Senate investigation, since I'm guessing you'd question the integrity of the House report -- though both reports were largely similar. What we learned is that, contrary to your contention, the Capitol Police Chief made the request to the Capitol Police Board, of which neither Pelosi or McConnell were members. Instead, it was the Sergeant at Arms of both the House and the Senate -- the House one reports to Pelosi and the Senate one reported to McConnell. In this case, neither Sergeant at Arms ever talked to McConnell or Pelosi about the request for National Guard troops, and McConnell had equal authority to Pelosi in requesting the National Guard. This is one of the primary reason that both Sergeants At Arms were fired after 1/6, for neither approving the request nor informing Pelosi and McConnell of the threat and request.

I get the general idea. Mike Johnson figures that since there is security footage that has periods when no one is assaulting police, vandalizing the Capitol, or stealing things, that means there wasn't an insurrection.

Not sure I buy that line of thought...

You do know that subsequently, Donald Trump put the blame on Nikki Haley for not calling out the National Guard to stop the insurrection, right?

Donald Trump's latest blunder comes amid increased speculation about his cognitive abilities — he's mixed up Biden and Obama multiple times.

Apparently, he confused her with Nancy Pelosi. I once had a neighbor who blamed the dot-com crash on Caesar Chavez, but he was old and didn't get much exercise.

Well, he says he does it on purpose for comedic effect.

That's no crazier than some of the other excuses we see here.
