U.S. Capitol Police rejects GOP congressman’s claim that check of his open office is illegal investigation (door was open)

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said Tuesday that an officer conducted a security check of a Capitol Hill office that was left open, rejecting a GOP congressman’s claim that police were involved in an illegal probe last November.

In a Twitter thread Tuesday, Rep. Troy E. Nehls (R-Tex.) claimed without evidence that “The @CapitolPolice Intelligence Division investigated my office illegally and one of my staffers caught them in the act.”

Nehls accused Capitol Police leadership after one of the officers entered his office in the Longworth House Office Building with no prior notice Nov. 20, 2021, ahead of the Thanksgiving break, and took pictures of a whiteboard. The officer filed a report raising concerns about the contents of the whiteboard, which included mentions of “body armor” and a poorly drawn map of the Rayburn House Office Building - which is also part of the Capitol complex - that had an X at one of the building’s entrances.

In a statement Tuesday, Manger dismissed Nehls’s suggestion that the officer who entered the Longworth building office was acting on behalf of an intelligence-gathering operation. The officer walked into Nehls’s office, Manger said, because the door had been left open, and it is protocol for Capitol Police officers to check whenever an office is left unattended.

“If a Member’s office is left open and unsecured, without anyone inside the office, USCP officers are directed to document that and secure the office to ensure nobody can wander in and steal or do anything else nefarious,” Manger said. “The weekend before Thanksgiving, one of our vigilant officers spotted the congressman’s door was wide open.”

Nehls said he is now “very” concerned about the security within his office and his “right to privacy.”

Ok - so why did they take pictures?
Why did they come back and question/intimidate his staff?

Was he lying about that?

So now the Congress itself reports to the Capitol police which is rapidly morphing into yet another secret police agency.

When do they assert the right to decide who can and can’t be in the Congress?

Exactly...if they are going to play that game then Pelosi’s lectern walked off on Jan 6 because she failed to secure it.

“Security checks” do not require costumes or photos of public servants’ whiteboards and documents.

Manger said. “The weekend before Thanksgiving, one of our vigilant officers spotted the congressman’s door was wide open.”

Notice the superfluous adjective, “vigilant”.

Sign of propaganda.

Good to know, next time my neighbor leaves his door open I think I will have a look around. What’s the difference in these two scenarios?

“notice the way the Washington Compost quickly comes to the Capitol Police’s defense..gee its almost like the Capitol Police goons and the commies are on the same page”

Yes. And they are.

Note how they write “ without evidence”.

“In a Twitter thread Tuesday, Rep. Troy E. Nehls (R-Tex.) claimed without evidence that “The @CapitolPolice Intelligence Division investigated my office illegally and one of my staffers caught them in the act.””

But catching someone in the act would be evidence.

We need to know these elements are coordinated, media and the leftist Rainbow-flag Cartel Party.

It is a Ministry of Truth along the lines of 1984 and is totalitarian.

Washington Post readily express their purpose and goals with article titled “What You Need to Know about the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada”.

They are self appointed authorities to determine what we need to know.

.
How did the door come to be open?

That’s like Bill Clinton’s - we were not alone (in the WH).

I’m sure the door was open after someone moved it to that position.

Lets see some video tape. I’m sure the building has cameras in the hallways.

Door left wide open. Maybe the person who caught them was just working.

The US Capitol Police are Pelosi’s Gestapo. They should be treated as the enemy.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase penned by the Roman poet Juvenal from his Satires (Satire vi, lines 347–348). It translates as “Who will guard the guards themselves?” In this article we look at “Who polices the police?”
