Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Where is this video coming from that the DOJ doesn't already have it?

Edit: from another article "We don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” the House speaker said. His office later noted that DOJ already has the raw footage.

Exactly as u/Kbin_space_program@kbin.social said below.

I imagine that the DOJ absolutely has it.

But telling the cult of Trump that "good ol' Mike" is blurring their faces to "protect them from the DOJ" is an effort to endear himself to the rabid cult mob that doesn't know any better.

That was my thought as well, especially coming from the party of drama queens.

Maybe from those of the traitors who were such geniuses that they recorded their own crimes and then didn't permawipe the data from their devices? AKA the constituents of Jericho Johnson.

I watched livestreams of it as it was happening, they were never thinking it through

So did I and you're (somehow) 400% correct in that assessment.
