Yes. You read that right. Johnson is saying that he is intentionally hiding
insurrectionists from prosecution in the release of tapes that Republicans claim
will vindicate them on January 6th.
It is the exact textbook definition of obstruction of justice. It doesn’t get any more obstruction of justice than to literally hide identities with the express stated goal of obstructing the work of the Department of Justice.
He’s taking a page out of Trump’s “it’s not a crime if you brag about it on tv” playbook.
Fortunately for the FBI, and for anyone who still believes in democracy, most of these idiots brought their smartphones with them so video hasn’t even been necessary to secure convictions. And lots of them recorded video themselves, OF themselves, in order to brag about their crimes online.
That’s hilarious, I forgot about that part. Parlor probably didn’t bother to strip out the metadata either, did they? So, full GPS coordinates with every image and video… hahahaha
It’s theater for their deep state struggle fundraising. Gotta shake down the marks for the cash. You think he’s got a sugar daddy? He’s not a Supreme Court justice………
That’s the murmur sound you hear at the very end of the clip as he’s about to finish talking: a slew of reporters either pointing out that he just casually admitted to a serious criminal conspiracy or lauding him for protecting the conspirators, defending on the specific media outlets they’re from.
I’m not a lawyer, so I’m probably wrong, but wouldn’t that be obstructing justice, or something?

You have the perfect username to make that comment 😆👌
He killed me with a sword, how weird is that
Signal still going though, though, so you were vindicated on THAT 🤷

They then uploaded the videos to parlor which had no security on their API, so anyone with the address could download every video.

Worse, DOJ certainly had them before Congress so it makes no sense.
This is the dumbest part about this whole thing. It’s just grandstanding.
Edit: He’s already recanted it. Instead saying they are blurring to protect their identities from the public.
Meanwhile, any little suspect from small time crime gets their face plastered all over local news anyways.
Only if they’re black or hispanic. There’s a narrative to push, don’t you know.

He said this at a press conference, was there no push back from any journalist, or was that edited out?
