Dem congresswoman who allegedly assaulted ICE officer is indicted on 3 counts, faces years in prison

The Democrat congresswoman accused of assaulting an ICE officer is facing years in prison if convicted, according to a statement from Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey was caught on video in a skirmish with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer when Democrats tried to barge into a detention facility in Newark.

"Today a federal grand jury seated in Newark, New Jersey returned a three-count indictment charging U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers," said Habba in a statement on social media.

McIver's defenders said that she was operating under the oversight authority of Congress and had been improperly blocked by federal officials.

"While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve," continued Habba. "Today’s decision by the grand jury is the next step in a process that my Office will pursue to a just end."

She went on to say that a conviction for the first charge carried a maximum penalty of eight years in prison, an additional maximum penalty for the second charge, and a maximum of one year in prison for the third charge.

President Donald Trump had commented on the incident and denied that the prosecution was politically motivated.

“Give me a break. Did you see her?" Trump said. "She was out of control! She was shoving federal agents. The days of that crap are over! We’re going to have law and order!”

A year’s probation and a fine is what she’ll get

Plus, if she is kicked out of Congress, she will be given a position as a highly paid activist.

These demoncrats, including Newscum, are totally out of control and over 55% of US citizens agree with Trump. The majority of democrats have just gone psycho. All terrorist attacks will be as a result of demoncrat open borders and demoncrat brainwashing tactics.

No way she gets convicted in NJ. I would be shocked even though there is video.

No jail can hold her.
Next: McIver uses Leonard da Vinci drawings in a prison library book to build wings from laundry cart canvas and sail from the top of the prison to jump onto a passing semi.

Note: I bought a used book (The Language of Thought by Napoleon Hill) and inside it had a stamped Withdrawn, from a NY prison library. Made me think of the Shawshank Redemption with Morgan Freeman.

For sure!!
A real, live ghettopotumus finally held in sane civilized captivity is a very rare creature, indeed.
It will require the appropriate “display case” where the children can safely watch in fascination.

Congresswoman. LaMonica was so distraught over being actually indicted for assault, it was all she could do to force down that 3rd Bucket O Crispy KFC before her dessert.

**She had planned to buy all that chicken next Friday on June 20th, when she’ll be a Birthday Girl! (38), but her husband thought having her favorite treat today would steady her nerves some.

It’s about time. People will think members of Congress are above the law if even the president won’t arrest them.
