Post-impeachment, NYT retracts story about Officer Sicknick killed by Trumpster with fire extinguisher: What's emerging is a sinister sense that Trump was framed

Somewhere out there, there's an amazingly sinister story to be told about what happened in the series of events on Jan. 6 leading up to impeachment.

Because fresh after the slapdash, failed second impeachment of President Trump, the New York Times has withdrawn the rawest element of its story, the anonymously sourced claim that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by one of President Trump's supporters who hurled a fire extinguisher at him. Trump, recall, was declared "a murderer," for it, with "Trump's legal exposure questioned" for it, as USAToday reported. 

Here's how bad that New York Times retraction was, as reported by Red State:

If you search for the original NYT story today, you find the following “Note” now at the top:

UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police.

Julie Strong at American Greatness has been aggressively pursuing this story for weeks, and two days ago she published a column that noted efforts by media outlets — including the NYT — to slowly back away from narrative created by early reporting done by the NYT and acknowledging that the cause of Sicknick’s death was still undetermined.  (We’ve also reported on CNN’s about-face here.)  

That's the rawest element thus spewed in the impeachment fiasco -- that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by President Trump's supporters with fire extinguisher.

Revolver has an account that Sicknick was alive and well as the riot went on, and creepily enough, reported dead before his death happened. His family was taking calls from the press about it and at the time, they had every indication to think he was alive.

It also shows that Joe Biden is a stone-cold liar. For years he lied about his first wife’s death and, beginning in 2019, he lied consistently about Trump’s stance on white supremacists. Biden has now added a new lie to his rhetoric: He claims that Trump is responsible for the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died of unknown causes after the events on January 6.

Biden is now what he has always been, a dishonest, nasty, morally corrupt man.

Despite promising that his administration would be all about “unity,” Biden opened his statement about Trump’s acquittal, by repeating the Officer Sicknick lie.

Biden opened his statement about Trump’s acquittal, by repeating the Officer Sicknick lie :

It was nearly two weeks ago that Jill and I paid our respects to Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who laid [sic] in honor in the Rotunda after losing his life protecting the Capitol from a riotous, violent mob on January 6, 2021.

The Biden statement about the impeachment vote delves deep on the riot itself and those killed. The Trump statement didn’t mention the events of January 6 at all.

“The substance of the charge is not in dispute,” Biden says

You mean the MSM lied to us???

“What’s emerging is a sinister sense that Trump was framed”

Twice.

“Yes, it is a lie, but it is a lie that paid for my Mercedes.”

[Vanman]

Forgot to add, congress and the fake president in that statement about lying...

[adorno]

You mean the MSM lied to us???

Mainstream media?

There is nothing mainstream about them. The vast majority of them are the left-wing media, also known as the democrats' media department. Most people don't think like what the democrats' talking points corrupt media does.

And here's a Michigan Senate leader saying the whole thing was staged!!

He absolutely was framed! There is now proof that this riot was planned days, maybe weeks, before the rally, and the rioters were entering the building even before DJT made his speech. And what happened? All discussion about voter fraud stopped, all objections stopped, no more discussion of sending the electoral count back to the states. ALL stopped.

And who benefitted from this? A question to ask yourself....

The demon rat party does its father’s bidding, posting lies and deceptions as ‘evidence’. The demon rat party is demonic and the dupes who keep returning the devils to Congress are just lost dead souls who will be herded by anything with a “D” after the name. Sickens me to see what the demon rat party has doen to Americans and is doing and plans to do for the next several years. The demon rats are evil to their core. So evil in fact that they are incapable of seeing their sycophancy to the fater of lies a murderer fromt he start. That’s why the demon rats hold abortion slaughter of the alive unborn as their most sacred ritual. Their voters endorse that evil

Both the C-ville Nazis demonstration and the capitol demonstration were both commie agit prop operations. Have you seen any Nazis tiki torch parades since C-ville? No.

[frogjerk]

I think some other outfit (AP?) said he was killed with a fire hydrant. Sloppy, unprofessional and biased reporting is what we get.

There is no certification or standard for "Journalism" and it shows.

The Rosetta stone to all this is none other than Ashli Babbit. No report of her being taken to a hospital. No attending physician who said he examined her. No autopsy! No funeral, military or otherwise!.And it appears for some strange reason, the FBI doesnt seem to be interested in the crime scene, as in Who shot her? Why are they not interested in identifying all the members in the room? They seem to only be interested on people that they know are Trumpsters and not involved in the murder itself. The whole thing looks like a badly staged high school play Watch the video. The tragectory would have blown out her crotch if anything. Truly a very magical bullet!

Biden is now what he has always been, a dishonest, nasty, morally corrupt man.

Biden is simply spewing what his puppet masters tell him to spew. If you want answers look to GeoS, BHO, and the CIA.

“What’s emerging is a sinister sense that Trump was framed’

I have no doubt that that is the case.

Without that pandemonium Trump would have gone out with hundreds of thousands of people cheering for him. That would have been the story.

They couldn’t let that stand.

[libertylover]

But the damage to the truth is done and a correction on page 39F will not change that. Of those on the left who have ever heard of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, they’ll tell you he was murdered by Trump’s MAGA followers.

[Truthoverpower]

Ding ding ding! You win the prize

All that needs to be known about January 6 is that the supposed ride happen where people are invited and stayed in the row blinds and the only person that was shot was Ashley Babbitt by capital police officer who still hasn’t been identified. And that’s that was actually really no violence

Nope all that really needs to be known is that they quickly gathered hours later and went until about four in the morning to shoved down our throat’s Joe Biden and the shoot down any and all objections to the vote fraud totals

Remember that how they shuffled back into the house supposedly after this crazy riot where it was so scary so Friday and everybody was hiding and somehow they still went back and shoved all this crap down our throats in the middle of the night?

That is absolutely all you need to know that this was preplanned from the get-go

I swear I read here or elsewhere that the officer was talking to his brother that evening.

[bray]

He was texting his brother that evening and complained about breathing tear gas and bear spray. Why no toxicology report?
