That's the key thing I got from this video. You may recall that this clause was in the news when Sen Graham tried to use that as his protection for the election interference crimes he committed in Georgia. That was a sham. But the clause itself serves a purpose, specifically to protect the ability of our representatives to speak and debate about things that are essential to their roles as lawmakers. And I don't think there is any controversy about its application to speeches from the well of the Capitol, as Rep Khanna did today.

If the DoJ persists in this cover-up, then Reps should make a daily ritual of trekking to DoJ, then come back and recite every name they have seen. Maybe that is not fair to the people named because they could be completely innocent (not bloody likely). But this may be the best way to force DoJ to stop the cover-up. "You don't want us to recite names out of context? Fine, then follow the law and send us the complete files without redactions. Then the public can see the full context and judge for themselves."
