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.

      Haha that’s a good point. I’d love to see a lawyer try that argument that in court. “You’ll notice in this footage here that my client is standing in the bank doing nothing wrong. Yes, they’re wearing a ski mask and holding a gun, but at this point they are just standing in the bank, waiting for the teller to give them money, just like everyone else.”

        Bonus points if they bring their own stills from the security camera with the face blurred out.

        Also… That’s not even my client, it’s some leftist terrorist. But also, nothing wrong going on here. But also, that money really does belong to my client and the bank should be ashamed of themselves.
