EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump SLAMS arrest of Ashli Babbitt's mother

Speaking at an event at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday evening, Donald Trump slammed the Biden regime over the arrest of Ashli Babbitt's mother. Ashli Babbitt was killed by a United States Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6.

Witthoeft was arrested outside of the Capitol on Friday, the two-year anniversary of her daughter's death.

Trump brought up the arrest during a special CPAC event at Mar-a-Lago, pointing to the weaponization of law enforcement under the Biden regime.

"We have a weaponized country right now with law enforcement. It's a disgrace what's happening to our country. Ashli Babbitt's mother was arrested yesterday, because she was protesting the death of her daughter being shot by a lunatic who got a record of— not so good.

"And then they try and protect him and they do things— what they've done to that family. That they shot her, there was no reason, and then they arrested— because the mother was in a group— and they arrested yesterday the mother of Ashli Babbitt. So she loses her daughter and then on top of it, she gets arrested.

"We're not gonna let this go on. We're not gonna let this go. on these people are horrible, horrible. And what they've done to protest us. I mean, these were protesters, they were protesting a dishonest election.

"And whenever you mentioned that they don't want to ever talk to you because they don't want to have that out there. The one thing they don't want to talk about is a dishonest election. Because they know and they've been caught."

In footage circulated on social media by streamer Woke Societies, Micki Witthoeft was seen being handcuffed and taken into custody by multiple police officers while onlookers protested.

"You murdered [Ashli] inside the Capitol, now you're going to arrest her?" one onlooker said.

"I did not murder her daughter," one officer replied in front of the crowd of people.

On Jan. 6, 2021, Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by Lt. Michael Byrd. while attempting to make entry into the interior of the Capitol Building.

According to The National Pulse's Raheem Kassam, Witthoeft was arrested for "jaywalking."

Why? She asked yo be arrested.

Witthoeft was part of a group without possession of the permit needed to demonstrate on Capitol grounds, according to a USCP news release issued after her arrest. The USCP said officers instructed the group to stay on the sidewalk instead of blocking the road, and Witthoeft "was given multiple warnings," the release said. "Instead of getting out of the road, the woman refused to leave, turned around with her hands behind her back, and asked to be arrested," Capitol Police said, adding that the woman was later identified as Witthoeft.

To my knowledge, none of the negotiations between McCarthy and the insurgents involved opening hearings on what really happened on January 6th. More than Hunter Biden's laptop or the Russian collusion hoax, a real investigation of the events of that date would reveal the actual events and the collusion involving the Federal police agencies, the Congressional leadership, Big Tech, and Antifa to stage the American version of the Reichstag Fire. But if McCarthy were to have agreed to that, his lifespan would be dramatically shortened.

January 6 is apparently over. One of the few who even showed any interest the last year or so was MTG, and look at her answer here today:

Go to about 7:30 for her shocking quote, but the whole thing is worth watching to see how milquetoast she is on everything now.

Immunity from prosecution breeds contempt for due process.
Until we remove immunity from prosecution for prosecutors judges and police, we will always have an incentive for these people to cheat.
If immunity is absolutely needed to prevent retaliatory litigation by defendant, we need a countervailing mechanism that makes it easier to strip law enforcement and prosecutors of their positions and compensate victims.
Full disclosure of the prosecutorial process is an absolute necessity in stemming abuses.
If these people demand secrecy from American citizens for “sources and methods”, they are declaring themselves as enemies of the people.
