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.

    we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ, and to have other concerns and problems

    I thought bringing charges against people was a basic job requirement at DOJ.

    This guy’s like no no no hol’ up lemme get this one because…why?

      The party of law and order sure doesn’t trust the department in charge of law and order and seems to want to protect criminals.

    Almost positive the government has the tech to see through blurred faces. The alphabet boys will track down everyone they need to regardless.

      That would depend in the degree of blur. If it is the average blur you’d have in japanese pornography, then no, that tech does not exist. Super resolution is good, but not that good.

      And no, I have not tried.

    Why would you have to blur the faces of people doing nothing illegal or wrong?
