    From the RWEC:

    The new video shows that every word Bowman has said about the incident was a lie. He first took down “Emergency Exit” signs, so he obviously knew what the door was. He then deliberately pulled the fire alarm and immediately walked away. He made no effort to exit through the door. His sole objective was to pull the alarm, cause the building to be evacuated, and delay the House vote on a stopgap spending bill.

    So why are we just now seeing this complete video, too late to impact Bowman’s prosecution? The obvious explanation is that the Capitol Police were covering for Bowman. Is there another explanation?

    Obstructing an official proceeding is what many (I think most) of the January 6 protesters were charged with. Here we have inarguable video evidence that Jamal Bowman deliberately obstructed an official proceeding.

    Yeah, why are we seeing it NOW, after he's pled down to a misdemeanor which will ultimately be expunged from his record.

        Nope DC DA.

        They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

              Santos might well survive the current term despite his legal woes. After that, I'm sure he's done, from a legislative standpoint. The Democrats really dropped the ball doing background work on this guy - so much ammo to tank his campaign with, and they didn't look for it. They wrongly assumed that he'd lose and didn't work hard in his district, which hasn't elected a Republican in 10 years.

              Bowman is a shoe-in forever. His district hasn't elected a Republican since....1945. It is the home of Chuck Schumer, Adam Clayton Powell, Charlie Rangel and others.

                  https://jonathanturley.org/2023/10/27/release-of-bowman-video-contradicts-his-account-to-congress-the-court-and-the-public/

                  Bowman has insisted in Congress and court that he was confused and thought that the door (closed for any purpose other than an emergency) would open if he pulled the fire alarm. The video, however, shows Bowman not only taking the emergency sign off the door but never stopping or looking back as he pulled the alarm. There was not even a glance back to see if the door opened. Instead, he quickly walks away with the sign.

                  Bowman may not have been motivated by delaying the vote, but the videotape does not suggest that he was trying to open the door. It may have been motivated by the same urge as students in schools (like the one Bowman used to oversee) to cause chaos or to vent.

                  Bowman has insisted “I don’t know why this has gotten so much attention,. I was literally just in a rush to go vote, man! That’s all it was!”

                  Yet, Bowman never looks at the door, let alone tries to open the door, after pulling the alarm.
