The reason the videos were under seal is absolutely ridiculous for a building that is open to the Public when the House and Senate is not in session. Clearly an attempt to control the former narrative of the January 6th protest as being a violent insurrection by prosecutors attempting to get maximum sentences. This is an abuse of evidence and of our justice system in my view. The Judge was absolutely correct in forcing the release of the tapes.

Too bad more of them weren't shot. Without a doubt though, there was sensitive stuff shown that the Capital security would of probably preferred not to get out.

I'm confused, why would the "PROSECUTORS" be fighting to keep evidence under seal??? Unless they are Trump supporters??? Just saying!!!

Quote from story about why: The government opposed making the videos public. In response to a petition filed by the media coalition, prosecutors wrote that the videos featured nonpublic information about entrances and exits around the Capitol, and that releasing them would “compromise the security of the United States Capitol and those who work there.”

If you have been to the Capitol building, approx 80-85% is open to the Public. Saying it is a security risk to show to the public what the public can already see on a tour is not a valid reason. Further the Judge stated correctly if your going to release parts of the sealed videos that you choose to the public you cannot hold back the other parts. The Judge saw the reason given for what it was....BS.
