Congress claims sovereign immunity prevents Capitol Police from sharing January 6 emails and videos

Judicial Watch is challenging an attempt by the U.S Capitol Police to block the watchdog organization's federal lawsuit to gain access to videos and emails related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.  

Congress, via the police department, is arguing that the videos and emails being sought are not matters of public record and that there is no public interest in their release. Furthermore, the body is claiming that sovereign immunity prevents citizens from suing for their release.

The suit was filed by Judicial Watch under the common law right of access after the Capitol Police refused to provide requested records in response to the group's initial request dating back to January 2021.:snip:

No Shot at a Fair Trial for January 6 Defendants in the Swamp

The first set of trials for the hundreds of protesters charged in the Justice Department’s sweeping criminal investigation into January 6 begins later this month. Since the Capitol building is considered the scene of the crime, every trial will be held in the District of Columbia—which means the jury pool will be composed solely of residents living in the nation’s capital.

To say this is a problem for Trump supporters facing even minor charges is a huge understatement.

January 6 defendants already have suffered the wrath of D.C.-based federal judges who’ve imposed unusually harsh prison sentences for low level misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies while routinely berating defendants from the bench.

 

For example, before sentencing a man who pleaded guilty to “parading” in the Capitol to serve 14 days in prison, D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, declared that January 6 protesters were “told lies, told falsehoods, told our election was stolen when it clearly was not.” The defendant, Mehta claimed, “was a pawn in a game directed and played by people who should know better.”:snip:

‘Breadcrumbs Lead to Speaker’s Office,’ Rep. Jim Banks Warns as GOP Slams Capitol Police Leadership Over Capitol Riot

:snip:

Banks characterized the investigation by House Democrats’ Jan. 6 select committee as a “political witch hunt.” Banks said that both he and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, were “denied the opportunity to serve on the committee” because they questioned why Pelosi refused to turn over documents related to decisions made on the day of the riot. 

“The breadcrumbs lead to the speaker’s office,” he told The Daily Signal, adding: 

She’s covering something up, and the American people deserve to know what those documents say, but so far she’s refused to hand them over. The buck stops with her, and the question that deserves to be answered is why the National Guard wasn’t called to help protect the Capitol. Somebody made that decision. 

And I suspect that those documents in some way, shape, or form implicate the speaker of the house. She doesn’t want to release them because at the end of the day, no matter what those documents say, I imagine they deviate from the political witch-hunt narrative that Nancy Pelosi and [Rep.] Liz Cheney [R-Wyo.] have painted about Jan.  6.

Members of the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee continue to ignore vital questions related to Capitol security, Banks said, noting that Republicans have interviewed dozens of Capitol Police officers and others on this topic.:snip:

Hard Questions About January 6

Hard questions about January 6 are being left unanswered because they might disturb the Democratic narrative. So let’s ask some.

Like the members of the Warren Commission before them, the people claiming the accepted narrative about January 6 is beyond reproach are the same ones blocking any investigation that might challenge it. Potential game-changers are wish-washed away as conspiracy theories. That is funny, given that so much Democratic flailing is built around a narrative of conspiracy—that Trump, in conjunction with a bunch of rednecks, worked to overthrow the Constitution through an elaborate scheme. In a divided America, not answering important questions simply gives those questions more credibility to the side asking them. So why just assign Seth Meyers to mock troublesome ideas when they could be factually disposed of?

The January 6 committee has not spent much time allowing for the possibility that the Capitol rioters succumbed to group think, like fans who swarm the field and tear down the goalposts. The only real cause of the day’s events that the committee has considered is Trump. The committee has no “Subject B.”

So let’s propose a Subject B: the FBI. It would take a simple series of questions from the committee: Mr. Attorney General, how many undercover people did you have on the ground on January 6? How many of them traveled to D.C. with groups they had elsewhere previously infiltrated? What was their purpose on January 6? What were their rules of engagement—in other words, what were they allowed to say or do? Could they scream, “Yeah, let’s go!” and lead people forward? Could they give statements to the media misrepresenting the aims and mood of the crowd without revealing their identity? Did any of the agents stray from being after-the-fact accessories and instead become provocateurs?:snip:

That's because ever since Donald Trump rode down that escalator for the Democratic Party, Corporate Media (but I repeat myself) there has been no subject B. It has been OMB All The Time.

Internal police probe finds beating of a Trump supporter who died 'objectively reasonable,' report

An internal investigation of the Metropolitan Police Department has reportedly found the beating of an unconscious Trump supporter by an officer during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to be "objectively reasonable.

 

The probe was conducted by the Washington, D.C., police force's Bureau of Internal Affairs and concluded Rosanne Boyland of Kennesaw, Ga., was already unconscious when an officer struck her with a steel baton and a large wooden stick during the chaos that occurred on January 6, 2021, according to a report from the Epoch Times.

Video of the incident shows Boyland, 34, was trapped under a pile of protesters who were attempting to flee the West Terrace tunnel at the U.S. Capitol when law enforcement deployed gas to control the crowd.

Witnesses to the scene say Boyland fell unconscious after being crushed under the weight of other protesters and for a time stopped breathing.:snip:

The January 6th Committee Drops Another 'Major Revelation' About Donald Trump

:snip:

Investigators from the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol have found gaps in the White House phone records on the day of the insurrection, reports The New York Times.

Investigators were unable to find the logs of calls by former President Trump during hours on that day when they know he was sometimes on the phone.

Well, that sounds damning, right? Clearly, Trump must have destroyed records and wiped his phone in an effort to hamper the heroic work of the January 6th committee.

Yeah, well except there’s absolutely nothing nefarious behind any of this.

There is no evidence that official logs were changed or deleted, the Times reports, and Trump often used his personal phone or those of aides for calls.

In other words, the call logs were not tampered with and this entire leak is yet another manufactured piece of “evidence” meant to bolster a committee that is, in reality, an absolute joke. Every “bombshell” that is dropped turns out to be a massive dud. Clearly, if there was actually evidence of some mass conspiracy, it would have been discovered by now.:snip:

I also understand on Jan. 6 2021 Donald Trump did NOT put the seat down o the toilet!!!! :wacko:

They've Got Him This Time! Big Left Busily Building a Narrative Around Trump Toilets

:snip:As usual, this narrative begins with a New York Times reporter pimping her latest anti-Trump book by pre-releasing a juicy tidbit as told by (who else?) unnamed sources. CNN reports (in a promo for an interview with the author):

Maggie Haberman’s new book “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America” reveals that staff in the White House during Trump’s presidency say they found documents periodically flushed down the toilet in the White House.

Trump responded on Thursday, “[A]nother fake story, that I flushed papers and documents down a White House toilet, is categorically untrue and simply made up by a reporter in order to get publicity for a mostly fictitious book.” He went on to state the obvious: “The Democrats are just using this and the Unselect Committee of political hacks as a camouflage for how horribly our Country is doing under the Biden Administration.”

Toiletgate conveniently arrives as a mundane records-archiving molehill is being whipped into a mountain by the Left. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago staff recently released 15 boxes of documents from his White House days to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) upon their request. The documents technically should not have been removed from the White House by Trump. The papers reportedly included the traditional letter that outgoing President Obama left for incoming President Trump, suggesting that the documents may have been kept for personal or sentimental reasons. When it came to light that they belonged in the national archives, Trump handed them over.:snip:
