Would you elect Willey Coyote to represent you? Apparently there are some districts that will.

So maybe the additional arrests arose from citizens identifying those they recognized(??).

A quick google turns up no confirmation of this wishful thinking.

My guess is that the amateur sleuth's will have a field day, but that the FBI already had access.

...that suggest this tape release MIGHT backfire as Sedition Hunters now has more data to kine.
But, there's no evidence this has happened yet. And, even if it were come to pass, this is too short a time since the public release.
Finally, I read that Johnson might be blurring the faces of those not already indicted, which I also find dubious given how much footage there is.

say that there are around one thousand Jan 6 criminals who the FBI has successfully ID'd (including with public help) who have yet to be arrested or indicted, and about another one thousand who they have yet to successfully ID. This was before the tape releases. The FBI has got an arresting backlog on top of an ID-ing backlog. And they have field offices who just won't prioritize working these cases.

[The journo was Ryan J Reilly and he was being interviewed about his book Sedition Hunters about this exact topic]

Count me as very skeptical that this too-good-to-be-true meme from a resistance-cheerleader account -- with no supporting evidence cited -- is true.

Everybody (except me haha) has someone who doesn't like them. An ex, someone they owe money to, or just that brother in law who always hated them.
Mike Johnson wanted everyone to see patriots having a picnic and bible study, but unwittingly created a Rogues Gallery.

If you’ve graduated at the top of your class and now you’re getting job offers left and right, that just means you’re getting a lot, maybe even more than expected.

Just a bumper sticker post without evidence to back it up.

The FBI has always had access to the footage. Releasing it to the public would have no effect.
