Last Call For Greene Washing January 6th

Suddenly, GOP professional clown Marjorie Taylor Greene is extremely concerned about the release of thousands of hours of January 6th security footage to the media, claiming now that it's a security risk for the US Capitol building.
 
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has changed her position on the public release of the tapes documenting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, warning Friday that their release could “put the security of the Capitol at risk.”

Greene said in an interview on the right-wing channel Real America’s Voice that releasing the video footage publicly would jeopardize the Capitol’s security and endanger those who were present at the Capitol grounds but did not enter the Capitol nor commit crimes.

“And this is our real concern with the video tapes. If we released 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,” she said.

“Number two, we also endanger many Americans that were simply standing on the Capitol grounds, maybe never even walked through the Capitol or committed any crimes, but they could have just walked further than where the barrier was simply because the barrier was torn down by the time they got there,” Greene continued.

She said she is concerned about left-wing groups that would use facial-recognition technology to identify those seen in the videos to “hand them over” to the FBI and Justice Department. She said that some people committed violence and broke the law and should be held accountable but many others did not commit crimes.

“Sedition Hunters would spend every second of every day analyzing the videos in order to hunt innocent people that just stood on Capitol grounds on J6,” Greene later tweeted.
 
Now, Greene had no problem with releasing the security footage to Tucker Carlson months ago when Kevin McCarthy did so. And groups like Sedition Hunters have been poring over J6 security footage and identifying uncharged January 6th criminals for years now.

But it's this week that Greene now has a major problem with both, far more worried about the footage being used to identify unprosecuted January 6th suspects.

Unprosecuted January 6th suspect like maybe Greene herself?

Just saying.

Timing is suspicious.
