The U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was recommended for termination in 2001 for abandoning his post in the Speaker’s Office for a card game in a nearby cloakroom, then lying about it to Internal Affairs Division investigators, Blaze News has learned.
The 2001 investigation of Michael L. Byrd, 56, was the first known disciplinary case brought against the lieutenant who crept from his blind near the doors to the Speaker’s Lobby on Jan. 6, 2021, and shot Babbitt to death. The 2001 incident is the fourth such disciplinary case disclosed since Nov. 20.
A source with detailed knowledge of the Internal Affairs Division case told Blaze News that Byrd was charged with abandoning his post, eating and drinking at his post, and lying to investigators — a terminable offense. It is one of three Byrd disciplinary cases for which records could not be found when a House oversight subcommittee requested them in early 2024, the source said.

According to Loudermilk’s Nov. 20 letter, the Capitol Police had planned to loan a shotgun to Byrd, but he failed the federal background check and did not qualify after shotgun training.

Byrd shot back 20 minutes later, “We play the game as you request and then once we’re in compliance you guys change the rules on us. If we were aware that our situation would be looped in with everyone on the department then we would have been better prepared.

Mikey and Lizard can do the Tyburn Jig side by each on the same tree.
Why did he fail a gun background check? That seems like a mighty big red flag.
If they can’t get him a shotgun because he failed a background check maybe he shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun inside the Capitol? No? Substance abuse, mental illness, convictions for domestic violence or felony convictions are reasons people fail a gun background check…why did this guy fail??
Biden pardon in 3, 2, 1…..
DEI hire likely.
Make an example of him.
I wonder when he will be named chief of police?
“Murder most foul, as in the best it is / But this most foul, strange and unnatural.”
What a buffoon
Who?
Me or this cold blooded murderer?
Black privilege. Can’t imagine the other way around if a white fed murdered a black civilian encouraged by another white person like Ray Epps.
Michael Byrd is a PURE EVIL POS!!
Probably ALL OF THE ABOVE!!
He got a PROMOTION for KILLING HER!
This POS committed cold blooded murder and justice DEMANDS he face those consequences. Babbit’s family deserves it.
There is no statute of limitations on murder.
bet hes on the pardon list. A list in the past used for injustice is now being used to save those in the corruption family
So they had the goods on him and bought him off with goods.
this case needs to be reopened and this murderer prosecuted
Byrd is a low-life scum who will murder unarmed/unthreatening political opponents if ordered by Democrat party leaders to do so. Without a second thought.
