Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not hand over video coverage and emails from Jan 6 per a FOIA request. Pelosi based her decision on “sovereign immunity.” Pelosi and Democrats know if they release the 14,000 hours of footage from security cameras on January 6 it will blow apart their narrative.

🚔 Crime & Corruption 💸
This is a delaying tactic, with no real expectation it will succeed. The Supreme Court will ultimately hold that officials cannot thwart investigations and FOIA requests by simply asserting sovereign immunity. The idea is clearly contrary to a government for the people and by the people.
In typical swampy fashion, Pelosi is buying time while the narrative that Trump organized an attack on the Capitol gets driven deeper into morons’ tiny brains.
Congress is not subject to FOIA. Here is the Judicial Watch actual release.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/pelosi-congress-claims-immunity-in-court/
Here is the relevant passage if you don't want to read the whole thing.
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:”
If you have truth on your side, then you have nothing to hide, Nancy.
Could it be that Nancy is Correct ?
IF….Washington DC is a separate entity within America (as in Sovereign State) Is it in fact Foreign Territory and therefore cannot be compelled to release that footage.
I have seen many people repeatedly point out that she has used this argument but…..NO ONE !! Has ever explained why that statement may be correct.
I wonder why that is 🤔
Then Invade!
exactly! This might have been the 5D chess move Trump was forcing her to make
lol
Let's wait until the midterms and see if state-level election reforms are working.
Well, even if we sweep, it might be because there were just too many votes against them to rig the system credibly. I mean I think it’s going to be a bigger victory in the midterms than Trump had in 2020 by quite some margin. I want to believe that the reforms are working, but I still don’t trust that they are even if we crushed them in November.
Now that's some funny shit!
Actually wasn't a joke. There have been, and are continuing to be, state-level vote reforms. They barely stole the election last time, so there is hope. We sit here as anons chatting how all that's left is war but there are lawyers and other people on our side trying to figure out how to keep 2020 from happening again. So many people here say there is no hope but the midterms are only a few months away. There is -zero- chance of us ever organizing a revolution from scratch and being successful. However, there is a legitimate chance that within a year we could take back both the House and Senate. Don't forget ALL House members are up for re-election this year. If these reforms had no chance then I assume people with more knowledge than us would not be putting resources into them. So maybe we should start trying to get fired up for the midterms instead of abandoning hope.
Old One Eye was just re-elected in Texas. That means that they can even pull it off in Texas now, and you think they will just, what? Give up? In no way am I saying don't vote, but they are going to steal 2022 just like 2020. Election laws obviously work as well as gun control laws and stacking more on top of the existing ones in hope that they "work better" this time is as ludicrous as the reasoning for mounting firearm regulations or even putting up a sign telling illegal aliens that they are not allowed to cross the river into our country.
Criminals don't give a shit about laws, that is what makes them criminals. If we had enforced the existing voting laws, you know, things like the Constitution of the USA, then we would not be where we are now, so how do new laws make a shit of difference? That is the sad part in all this, we just continue to trust the system that fucks us in the ass every single time.
Really, I hate the doomer crap, but at some point, people need to open their eyes. The system is rigged, that is the bottom line. 2016 caught them off guard and they won't let that happen again. Without fixing 2020 there will never be an honest political election in this country again. That is the sad truth.
I think you're correct. I think her being forced to call for Sovereign Immunity will force this into the light. I have looked into it, but I haven't gotten too far. I searched the Law of War Manual, at least I started and got sidetracked by a million other tidbits in there.
It's checkmate
We all understand the sidetrack 😂 cos there is just too much goin on and not enough time to cover it all.
Happy Hunting Fren. 👍😎
I heard in another article that congress has some provision where their work can be partially immune to FOIA so it was filed under some other law
Devolution is getting uncomfortable for the swamptards, they're breaking cover.
I believe you are correct
this!
Great thought…
Exactly. Anyone who fights to withhold information obviously has something to hide! Guilty as sin!!
This comment almost reads like a satire of police officers trying to guilt-trip/coerce people into consenting to a search of their property or giving up a bunch of personal information about themselves.
This reads the same as "if you have nothing to hide, then you'll let me search your car"
This isn't a good argument. There are plenty of better arguments for why Nancy should stop being a cunt and comply with the will of the people. This ain't it.
How does she qualify as a "sovereign"? Outside of her own mind?
It was not too long ago that the 'sovereign citizen' thing was being described as a lawless terrorist insurgency. Maybe that assertion was far more right than they know.
In regards to D.C. and the lawless insurgency currently ongoing, then this is accurate AF.
Time to move the seat of U.S. Govt out of D.C.
Mar-a-lago and FL to be the new capital? Love to see it..
I have never heard if this. What do you have to do?
Too bad we don't have any decent judges in DC that would give her a big, legal smack over this crap.
Dick Cheney did the same thing once upon a time.. asserting that he and by extension the then-VPs office was a '4th branch' of government and is unaccountable to controls and legislation that governs the other three. In relations to refusing FOIA type requests.
And he got away with that too. If anything 20 years later, the DC judges are probably far swampier now than they were previously.. so this assertion by pelosi will probably derail any further push.
I can’t believe that bastard got away with that!! Gggrrrr 😡
Ask the Chinese to leak it. Pelosi and her crew are to damn dumb to have any real IT security. SwallowsWell has a little shrimp fried rice delivery girl that can probably help.
Honestly, I'd have banged Fang Fang too especially were I as mongoloid-looking as Swallowswell.
That's really insulting to all the mongoloids out there
To bad she didn't take him to her homeland and harvest his organs.
Nice!! 😂☝🏼
I wasn't sure i understood what "sovreign immunity" definition is, so looked it up: "the official exemption of a ruler or state from certain types of civil suit and criminal prosecution" further says "sovreign immunity does not apply if the government or an employee infringes on the US Constitution"...hmmm, interesting how this will play out...wonder if Space Force recorded/intercepted all of it anyhow? perhaps a trap for nancy?
Sovreign Immunity applies to rulers (e.g. kings, queens, dictators), not Representatives.
What Nancy is claiming is that she and the House of Representatives are rulers of the USA and not representatives.
The idea is that Federal Government cannot be sued. I don't think sovereign immunity would apply to a situation like this.
The Federal Government CAN be sued. And so can the representatives and appointees that operate said government.
This is very different from a monarchy/dictatorship where attempting to bring a lawsuit against the dictator results in the execution of your entire family. That's what sovereign immunity means.
First sensible comment
She is neither A Sovereign nor has sovereignty, nor does she have immunity.
Trial. Then whatever comes after that.
How the heck could she have sovereign immunity?
RINOs gonna RINO.
Up vote for that one.
Most republicans are the same as democrats. Just people chasing power wherever they can get it. They do their minimum part to keep that power by tricking the masses that they are who they pretend to be. Both are 2 sides of the same coin.
Okay, but why does she need "sovereign immunity" to protect evidence that should favor her?
Hmmmmm, what could it be? I wonder? Hmmmmmm
She'll stall as long as she can. She denies the request and now they file suit to get it. After appeals go all the way to the SC then she'll give it up or go to prison.
How much longer do innocent people sit in prison?
When we say 'NO' to an official request, we are often arrested. Arrest her.
Someone or some entity has copies of the tapes.
How do you feel about these fools openly calling for wetworks, an elederly p*do ending a "speech" with GOGETHIM! and using the 9/11 anniversary to say "sure 9/11 was bad and all....but it wasn't like 1/6?"
Sovereign Immunity? Who the fuck's the Sovereign here? You work for us bitch. If she doesn't hand it over, the NSA should give it up and then the military should send Pelosi on a permanent trip to GITMO.
Why doesn’t COLOR OF LAW being applied?
Under TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 we can show that Ashley Babbitt was murdered under Color of Law; and EVERYONE involved qualifies for the Death Sentence
Every …. Single…. Person
Can you explain this more?
Sovereign has nothing to do with the Constitution or the law of the US. She knows she has to release it and is just stalling to try to get past the mid-terms
Arrest Nancy Pelosi now. She is charged with High Treason and war crimes against Humanity
Burn this luciferin witch at the stake.
fuck this drunk clown.......
one of these days alice......
It sounds like Nancy Pants is obstructing justice and should be arrested. She she also be charged with treason. Why not give her the same treatment that she said she'd do to Pres. Trump if he didn't leave the White House after the election. Do you remember?
She said this: “I’m counting down the hours ‘til he’s gone,” Pelosi said, according to a Tuesday Politico report. “I plan to pull him out of there by his hair, his little hands, and his feet.”
Let's give Nancy Pants the same courtesy, shall we?
Regarding the "Sovereign Immunity" question --
The 'District of Columbia' is a special legal entity, as is the Vatican within Rome, and as is the 'City of London' district within London.
Is Nancy claiming to belong to an entity outside the US, and this gives her 'Sovereign Immunity?' Is this her excuse for refusing to produce the video from 'the insurrection'?
If you claim sovereign immunity as a reason to avoid giving evidence for a crime someone else supposedly committed...
...then wouldn't that imply that the evidence implicates you?
She has deep-seated immunity. We need to vanquish Washington. Burn it down. Salt the earth and bury the swamp people in their own swamp. We can keep arlington.. the rest is nothing but a testament to evil.
Bless her little heart, she doesn't have a choice.
Those documents are the people’s documents because they all work for us. Their salaries are paid by We The People, including Capitol Police. She either turns them over or Congress needs to start legal proceedings against her. What they are doing to the people from January 6, who are sitting in prison for 14 months is illegal, whether they are innocent or guilty, Left or Right, Republicans or Democrats.
So shes admitting she exsist above the law.
WTF does "sovereign immunity" have to do with releasing Jan 6th footage?
She must think she's Queen Nancy.
Wanna bet someone already has it?
Yeah, wasn't her (and others) laptops "stolen" during the 1/6 chaos?
Maybe she doesn't even have it to give... so the Sovereign Immunity card was played....
How about if it... just... you know... leaked out.
It’s astonishing that no one in the media will even utter that this Jan 6 Commission is an unconstitutional government assault on the right of free speech and assembly.
Add to this the DHS declaration that it is domestic terrorism to question election results or the effectiveness of vaccines, and the Left’s agenda couldn’t be more clear.
They are trying to make it illegal to think and speak independently. In a time when they are defunding police and failing to prosecute true criminality, they are all in on prosecuting free speech.
How can this one POS individual be immune to the FOIA rules that the rest of us Americans have to obey? I just had to disclose a bunch of personal info to a bank just for declaring a beneficiary according to that rule or law or whatever it is.
And why does everyone else in charge play along like she can do this?! 🤡🌎 (and soon they will probably take away these emojis so that we can't hurt their feelings when we use them)
What - you don’t trust a drunken witch who schemes and lies CONSTANTLY? Come on, man!
Take it to the supreme court
Oh yeah that will do it 🙄
It’s pretty sad that that’s funny, eh? Unreal.
If ever there was a person I wanted the Eighth Amendment to not apply to, it's her.
There are people in jail right now. This could be the spark that ignites the revolution.
She thinks she's a sovereign.
Wonder if this is related to the rumoured Ukrainians that were brought over to cause trouble. Were they given assurances they wouldn't get be investigated?
