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.

Someone was peacefully trampled to death, Ashley Babbitt was peacefully shot breaking into the capitol, and those were gallows of peace.
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 coreI 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.

They tried so hard to martyr her…
They really did. One of my neighbors is a cop and always talks about “don’t break the law and you won’t have a problem”, “just comply”, “fuck around and find out”, etc.
Then when she got shot, he was outraged. He was showing me the video expecting me to be equally mad. I was like “damn, I can’t believe that law enforcement gave her that many chances to back down.” My neighbor still thinks she was some kind of hero.
The rest of them are just lucky they weren’t shot too.

Bullets are expensive. Just rebuild the gallows they assembled.
Public hangings go a long way to deter treason.
I draw that conclusion from the lack of hangings and correlative increase in treason.
They were never going to hang someone from those gallows. They were shoddy work, would have collapsed if they tried. They would have had to execute people some other way if they’d won.

Breaking outside windows to gain access, etc.
Gallows and a guillotine should be at all protests.
