Republicans are turning up the heat on the Capitol police in order to get them to release all the video of Jamaal Bowman pulling the fire alarm. That video would include Bowman pulling down the warning signs. If he is allowed to get away with this, every J6 prisoner should file a lawsuit over malicious prosecution because he did the same thing they were accused of, which is interfering with the House during a vote.
This is just another reason I want Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House, as the Speaker carries a lot of weight with the Capitol police. Tearing down the sign is vandalism against the federal government. There is no doubt in my mind that he did this intentionally to delay the vote. One of the rules at the school Bowman founded was that pulling the alarm without a fire would get you suspended from school.
After the scandal erupted last Saturday, Capitol Police released a single photo showing the moment Bowman activated the fire alarm and that is not nearly enough. We need the entire video to put Bowman’s actions into context. That request was submitted to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger on Wednesday in the form of a letter from four House Republicans: Reps. Barry Moore (R-Ala.), Troy Nehls (R-Texas), Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).
The lawmakers wrote:
“In the the spirit of transparency, we ask that the security footage of the incident be released in its entirety.”
“One photograph is not enough to determine the severity of this situation. American people deserve to know the extent of Congressman Bowman’s conduct.”

The D.C. statute — DC §22-1319(a) — states, “It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to willfully or knowingly give a false alarm of fire within the District of Columbia.”
The federal statute — 18 US Code §15051505 — states:
Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years.
