House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson on Friday released several tapes taken inside the Capitol, showing what really took place during the January 6 Capitol protest of 2021.
đ„đšBREAKING: The recent release of the J6 videos by Speaker Johnson appears to be proving the insurrection was an inside job.

Johnson on Frida said he was releasing the tapes to restore Americaâs trust and faith in their Government. The speaker described the decision as another step forward in keeping the promises he made when he was elected speaker.
When I ran for Speaker, I promised to make accessible to the American people the 44,000 hours of video from Capitol Hill security taken on January 6, 2021. Truth and transparency are critical. Today, we will begin immediately posting video on a public website and move as quicklyâŠ

âThis decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials.â Johnson wrote in another X post. âProcessing will involve blurring the faces of private citizens on the yet unreleased tapes to avoid any persons from being targeted for retaliation of any kind and segregating an estimated 5% of the videos that may involve sensitive security information related to the building architecture.â
Matthew Perna hung himself because the government refused to acknowledge that some people walked inside the Capitol and wandered around.
The government wanted everybody to believe that every person who went inside Capitol did so to do harm.

Chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), in a statement, said his committee will continue to release more videos in the coming days as it investigates the events of the January 6 protest.
If January 6th was an insurrection, why were people allowed to leave like the Capitol was a movie theater?
Clearly confirms what we've said since January 6th:
The J6 tapes would have exonerated every person charged, and this is why these tapes weren't released pic.twitter.com/v8JzIMuWJG— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) November 17, 2023
âThe goal of our investigation has been to provide the American people with transparency on what happened at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and this includes all official video from that day,â Loudermilk said. âWe will continue loading video footage as we conduct our investigation and continue to review footage. As Iâve said all alongâthe American people deserve transparency, accountability, and real answers supported by facts instead of a predetermined political narrative.”
Capitol Police were giving handshakes to protesters.
Now ask yourselves this;
In which âinsurrectionâ or âRebellionâ in history would this have happened in?
None â because this is not an âinsurrection â

Some of the videos already released showed protesters walking peacefully inside the Capitol, with some of them laughing and fist-bumping Capitol police officers.

The footage contradicts mainstream media reports that protesters turned violent and attacked Capitol police officers.
