A recently unveiled Capitol protest video, released by House Speaker Mike Johnson, has revealed disturbing scenes of police officers seemingly standing idle as protesters breached the building on January 6.
Investigative reporter Julie Kelly, who analyzed the extensive footage, predicts that upcoming releases may expose instances of police brutality, potentially leading to three fatalities during the chaotic events.
These revelations challenge the official narrative of the Capitol protest, leaving millions of Americans outraged by footage depicting police officers appearing indifferent to the breach, even engaging in gestures like handshakes and fist bumps with protesters.
In a report by Newsmax on Thursday, November 23, 2023, Kelly suggests that future video releases could shock the public further, shedding light on instances of police brutality that resulted in tragic outcomes.
Pro-Trump protesters clashed with police during the Capitol storming, contesting the certification of the 2020 U.S. presidential election results.
Julie Kelly, renowned for her detailed analysis in January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right, sees the recent footage release as a pivotal moment in reshaping perceptions of the Capitol riot.
The official narrative appears to be unraveling, leading to increased calls for renewed accountability, with Senator Mike Lee and others advocating for a comprehensive investigation into the House Jan. 6 Committee.
Kelly insists that the released tapes only offer a glimpse of the story, emphasizing the need for more revelations to uncover the complete truth. She argues that a thorough examination is crucial to redeem those negatively affected by the politicization of the Capitol protest and hold accountable those responsible for what she terms the Jan 6 fraud.
Kelly proposes the subpoenaing of every member of the select committee, starting with Rep. Bennie Johnson. Additionally, she suggests a thorough examination of records and transcripts related to the Secret Service, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and others.
The investigative reporter recommends that the GOP committee investigates the FBI’s role, uncovering the extent of undercover agents and confidential human sources within groups associated with the protest.
The proposed investigation should delve into issues such as the selective prosecution of Capitol protesters, potential lies under oath by law enforcement witnesses to Congress, and any misconduct by federal judges related to the events of January 6.
As the nation grapples with the repercussions of the Capitol riot, the release of this surveillance footage marks a critical juncture. The public demands transparency, a thorough examination of the facts, and accountability for all parties involved.
The disturbing scenes captured on video have reignited conversations about the events of January 6 and their lasting impact on the nation’s political landscape.
