And to take a step back, you want to know what a wrongful shooting looks like, what a wrongful police shooting looks like, what an unlawful police shooting looks like. Take a look at this video of Ashley getting killed by that cop. I mean, he shot into a crowd, he ambushed her and killed her with that shot. That’s what a wrongful police shooting looks like. Compare and contrast it with the woman trying to run that cop, the ICE officer over. Didn’t tell her to stop, didn’t warn her, just shot her. He didn’t even see her by his own admission.

He couldn’t see who she was or what she was doing other than her being in that window area. That’s what January 6th is about. And of course, Judicial Watch has been second to few, I would say second to none really, in exposing the full truth or trying to get much of the full truth about January 6th. We’ve sued for the videos from Congress. Congress released them thanks to our lawsuit and our pressure. We also sued for videos of the body cam cameras of DC police who were present that day at the US Capitol in the area around it.

And in response to our lawsuit, the DC government has said you can’t have the videos unless you give us one and a half million dollars, essentially to blur out virtually everyone in the videos and actually knock out the audio. So we wouldn’t be able to see and hear any videos. So this is like typical worst, it’s almost like a joke in terms of government secrecy and contempt for your right to know. You give us one and a half million dollars and we’ll give you material that’s completely, essentially useless in terms of public information.

So we’ve been battling back and forth for this. When have we filed this? Oh, we filed it in June of 2024. And it takes, you know, the courts takes, sometimes move too slowly in the district here. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to withhold the January 6 footage because it claims that the faces and voices of every individual who’s not law enforcement personnel in the videos for personal privacy reasons. So the DC police, the DC government, is pretending that everyone who was there on the grounds of the Capitol, we can’t see their faces.

It’s absurd. Think of all the videos that have been released thus far. Somehow the DC police says you have a, you go to a public rally and you can’t have your face recorded. I mean, it was the biggest historic event, according to the left, right? The biggest thing that ever happened in American history. And so the court, you know, because if we don’t get, you know, we’re not going to give them, do you think we should give the DC government a million and a half dollars? We should give your donations, a million and a half dollars of your donations to the DC government so that they could give us videos that don’t have anything on them.

So obviously we’re fighting in court about it and we were in court earlier this week. I attended with our lawyer, a senior attorney, Michael Pekesha, and we had this report about it afterwards. Everyone, we were in court today against the DC government that’s holding thousands of videos secret on January 6th. They’re saying all the videos should be blurred out and they want to charge us a million dollars plus at 1.5 million dollars actually to give us videos that we can’t see or literally hear. So the court’s considering that and we hope the court comes down on the side of transparency and against the absurd secrecy still on January 6th, five years after the fact.

Yeah. I mean, real simply, we at Judicial Watch asked for the body camera footage from the DC police officers that arrived at the cap on and around the capital on January 6th so that we could see what was going on, how DC police responded, what they were responding to, how they interacted, you know, everything that Congress and the public has been calling for full transparency of that day and DC doesn’t want to turn over those tapes without editing them and that would really just prevent the public from seeing, you know, what happened that day and how DC police responded.

So you can see the Alice in Wonderland arguments we’re having to endure from the DC government and the judge in the case, Judge Sanchez, she’s in the Superior Court. It’s not in federal court, so you know, it’s in Superior Court, DC Superior Court, which is, I guess, a federal court technically, but still it just deals with the city government and local DC crimes and such and so the Attorney General’s Office for the District of Columbia had their lawyers there or a lawyer, well, they have their lawyers there and the judge heard argument and she’s going to rule.

She’s going to rule by May. So this kind of, this again, shows you that you’ve got to be insistent and persistent in your oversight of government. So this case has been going on for nearly, it will probably go on for at least two plus years, probably three years at this point, especially if it’s appealed. It could go on five years. It’s five years after January 6, 2021 and the DC police hasn’t released one body cam video to the public. Now, have there been videos from the DC police released otherwise? Yes, through law enforcement proceedings, but they’re very selective, very selectively released because they’re only released in the context of the crazed prosecutions of January six years by the Biden gang.

So, you know, Judicial Watch isn’t just out there commenting on news of the day and saying, oh, we got to do this, we got to do that in terms of politics and policy. That’s not what we do. We do a little bit of it. I talk as much as, to be fair, I talk as much as the next person about what I think needs to be done. But our core work is going into court to try to get the truth about what the government’s up to. And we want to know what the DC police department has about January 6th.

What did they see? What did police officers see? And what did they do? And that we are fighting a liberal jurisdiction that’s trying to hide police conduct. It’s just, you know, ironic icing on the cake, isn’t it? So I’ll let you know what happens when we get, you know, if we get the videos and we win in court, I’ll be shouting from the rafters.
