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.

A lot of people are asking me when we are going to release the J6 video tapes.
Well I’m wondering the very same thing and waiting too.
The American people paid for the video cameras that are installed all over the Capitol building that they also pay for.
And most of all the…
