Capitol Police 'covering up 14,000 hours of video about what really happened'

2021-09-13

[WND] Judicial Watch is a government watchdog in Washington that routinely takes government entities to court for failing to supply information to the public that really belongs to the public.

It can't do that with Congress, because Congress has decided the Freedom of Information Act law is one that it doesn't need to follow.

So now Judicial Watch is asking a court for an order for "discovery," a legal process through which evidence can be brought to the light in legal disputes.

The issue is the evidence that the U.S. Capitol Police agency has regarding the turmoil and violence that happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

That's the day that President Trump held a morning rally, with tens of thousands of people. After that, thousands went to the Capitol, where Congress was scheduled to vote on the outcome of the 2020 presidential race.

What the heck laws do they follow? They ought to have to follow the same damn laws they make. That's the trouble with these elitists, they foster attitudes of superiority. No wonder people don't like them and their polls are in the dumper.

#4 I am no lawyer, but it would appear the knowledge of the existence of such evidence and it's withholding by the gov't should be grounds for appeal of any related 6 Jan convictions. Perhaps that is why the legal process is progressing at such a snails pace. Why rush into an acquittal. Just inconvenience the detained as long as possible.

#3 Nothing said about Jan 6 has any validity as long as the massive amount of such evidence is being withheld from the public.

#2 Why is the Capitol Police under Congress anyway? Why does a speaker of the house (elected by a very small fraction of the population) have what amounts to a standing army?
And Congress should not have the power to exempt itself from anything.
