Judicial Watch announced that it filed an opposition to the U.S. Capitol Police’s (USCP) effort to shut down Judicial Watch’s federal lawsuit for January 6 videos and emails. Through its police department, Congress argues that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and that “sovereign immunity” prevents citizens from suing for their release.
Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit under the common law right of access after the Capitol Police refused to provide any records in response to a January 21, 2021, request (Judicial Watch v. United States Capitol Police (No. 1:21-cv-00401)). Judicial Watch asks for:
- Email communications between the U.S. Capitol Police Executive Team and the Capitol Police Board concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021.
- Email communications of the Capitol Police Board with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021through January 10, 2021.
- All video footage from within the Capitol between 12 pm and 9 pm on January 6, 2021
Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act. Judicial Watch, therefore, brought its lawsuit under the common law right of access to public records. In opposing the broad assertion of secrecy, Judicial Watch details Supreme Court and other precedent that upholds the public’s right to know what “their government is up to:”

As American Citizens/Taxpayers we actually own every miniscule of their "On The Job Production." No less than any Employer in the Private Sector over an Employee on Company Time.

"Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act". So what the News here? These "elites" would, if they could, exempt themselves from having to use a toilet like We "mere morthals" do. Why do we always count on "electing" people to solve our County's issues...it never works...the Dems propose some outlandish policy "irradicating covid, fixing global climate change, building back better, stopping drilling on public (our) lands, loading the Supreme court, starting a war between Russia and Ukraine, impeaching Trump twice, letting Biden rule by Executive Order"...should I go on?
What do the Republicans due in the face of a "united to the death" Democrats? They look for a middle ground so that only half of 'We The People' get screwed until the next time the Dems move to propose another rediculous policy... Our Republic is "burning" and the Repubs want us to pay to re-elect them and they don't know what a fire extinguisher is...does anyone else see the irony and insanty we face in Washington, DC.?
Brother, you said it all. I don't trust the Republicans either. The American people are tired of being the monkeys in themiddle between these two corrupt parties.
Yes, and well said... The GOP is not part of the solution they are the opposite side of the Big Government coin... flip it either way and you get more government and less liberty. It's Heads the Democrats win, Tales the People lose. The system is rigged, with the Marxists and Globalists assured to win.
Understand the hypocrisy? Darlin' friends, they have reinvented hypocrisy into a fine-but-dark art
Pointing fingers, finding blame will do nothing to return our government to the PEOPLE... this entire 1/6 investigation is not only unconstitutional, a matter for law enforcement, it is a ruse to keep our eyes off the 2022 Mid-Terms its candidates and conduct. We need to be focusing on getting the states to eliminate the known avenues of fraud used to rig the outcome of our elections. If we failed to have fair and open elections in 2022 it is over... the 2024 elections will also be rigged and we have seen the last of our Constitutional Republic... government by the people, for the people, and of the people will have died... in the rigged election of 2022.
We can deal with the criminals once we throw out the criminals in the FBI, CONGRESS, and the Judicial System... that will take installing pres. Trump for a second term and the removal of most if not all of the RINOs from Congress, the Administration, and the Judicial System. US Attorneys and Judges... including the SCOTUS. Justice will not prevail until we drain the swamp.
