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.

    They literally dragged a security guard out of the door and beat him to death. Because of all the preconditions that the seditionists set up, there were few guards and they didn’t escalate. It saved their lives at least, but it was corrupt to the core

      I think you’re confusing Michael Fanone (dragged out, tased and beaten, had a heart attack but survived) with Brian Sicknick (had a stroke late that night and died the next day). To my knowledge, Sicknick wasn’t involved in any assault that is believed to have caused his death.

      (Before anyone jumps down my throat, I think all the Jan 6th rioters are traitors. I just think it’s important to be accurate.)

        Honestly I saw the thing live and read some time after that security guards died and just put two and two together

      Wait, I thought they backed tracked that claim of beating to death. Instead it was determined it was something else that was a result of that day. Heart attack or something along the lines.

        Natural causes…that resulted from being beaten to half an inch of his life and left to die, yeah?

        They record the final cause (heart attack, aneurism,) as being the cause… but no one who reads the autopsy report with even half a brain really thinks he would be alive today if the beating never happened

        “Officially” it was “natural causes” and a total “coincidence” that a Trump-supporting cop was beaten to near-death by other Trump supporters and died within hours. Naturally. As one does.
