MTG Suddenly Doesn’t Want New J6 Footage Released Because “Soros Groups” Could Identify More Rioters

Mediaite has the transcript:

Some of these people on January 6th did commit violence. They did break the law, and of course they have been charged and prosecuted, but there’s a lot of people that have been targeted simply because they walk through the Capitol on January 6th.

And this is our real concern with the videotapes, if we release these video tapes just widely for the public — number one, we put the security of the Capitol at risk because there’s over 1,700 video cameras.

We also endanger many Americans that were simply standing on the Capitol grounds, maybe never even walked through the capitol or committed any crimes, but they could have just walked further than where the barrier was, simply because the barrier was torn down by the time they got there.

Most of these people have never even, or had never even been to Washington D.C. until that day on January 6th. So there was no way for them to know that they had crossed a barrier because it was all torn down.

Citizen sleuths such as Sedition Hunters have said that they would use AI processes to zero in still-uncharged rioters should they get access to the new footage.

And in fact, MTG expresses worries about just that in the opening of the clip below, claiming that “Soros-funded groups will use facial recognition software” to identify more rioters.

Just two days ago MTG was boasting to her followers that the tapes would be released.
