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.

I think you're confusing Michael Fanone (dragged out, tased and beaten, had a heart attack but survived) with Brian Sicknick (had a stroke late that night and died the next day). To my knowledge, Sicknick wasn't involved in any assault that is believed to have caused his death.

(Before anyone jumps down my throat, I think all the Jan 6th rioters are traitors. I just think it's important to be accurate.)

Honestly I saw the thing live and read some time after that security guards died and just put two and two together
