The Capitol Police are seeking to shut down a legal request for its communications and surveillance video on January 6, as was requested in connection with a Judicial Watch lawsuit.
The Congress that oversees the Capitol Police has blocked it from releasing the footage, because it is preposterously not in the “public interest,” nor is it a matter of “public record.” It is also claiming “sovereign immunity.”
The Speaker Pelosi-led House “has argued that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and that ‘sovereign immunity’ prevents citizens from suing for their release,” Judicial Watch pointed out.
On January 21, 2021, Judicial Watch issued a request for the following:
- Email communications between the U.S. Capitol Police Executive Team and the Capitol Police Board concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021.
- Email communications of the Capitol Police Board with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021.
- All video footage from within the Capitol between 12 pm and 9 pm on January 6, 2021.
According to Judicial Watch, the Capitol Police provided the following rationale to the court for continuing to withhold the requested information:
The USCP’s camera security system, including footage recorded by it within the Capitol and sought by [Judicial Watch], is solely for national security and law enforcement purposes.
Access to video footage from the USCP’s camera security system is limited to narrow circumstances and strictly controlled by USCP policy.
The USCP has not made any public disclosures of video footage from January 6 from its camera security system.
There are currently pending criminal investigations and prosecutions of individuals involved in the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
There are currently pending congressional investigations into the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The Capitol Police’s excuse for not providing transparency to the public, more than one year after the highly controversial and politically consequential incident, did not satisfy Judicial Watch.
“In ‘the courts of this country’ – including the federal courts – the common law bestows upon the public a right of access to public records and...

Did you read that?
Pelosi thinks she has sovereign immunity in DC. Let that sink in, plebe...
In other words it destroys their narrative. Inference should be enough now but some people just can't get their low IQ up.
Crazy me, thinking that there isn't a damn thing the government does that doesn't belong to We The People. Aside from serious stuff related to actual national security, every document, study, report, analysis, memo, text message, phone call recording, and photograph is mine for the asking, 24-7, with no fees, licenses, or permission needed. FOIA? BS, I'm a citizen, gimmee. That's all that's needed.
The tiny amount of citizen video that was seen inside the Capital that day was enough to convince me immediately that a) there was no actual insurrection or any indoor rioting, and b) it was most probably another false flag operation. Everything I have seen or read since then has only increased my belief.
PS - how long did the "insurrection" last, perhaps 8 hours? 10? And there are 14,000 hours of video? Shows you that the place is solid cameras top to bottom, inside and out. Well over 1,000 of them. Paranoid much there Nancy?
