Who killed Ashli Babbitt? (A New Theory Emerges)
The Spectator ^ | June 30, 2021 | Cockburn

Posted on 06/30/2021 6:56:13 PM PDT by BurgessKoch

Who shot Ashli Babbitt, the pro-Trump Air Force veteran who was killed by police during the January 6 riot at the US Capitol building? The American people were told that it was a Capitol Police officer who fired the fatal shot. But Cockburn has stumbled across some information that points to a different explanation.

Sources close to and within the intelligence community tell Cockburn that Babbitt was actually shot by a member of then-vice president Mike Pence’s protective detail. The VP’s detail, of course, is provided by US Secret Service, not the Capitol Police. One person asserted to Cockburn over drinks in DC that this is ‘basically an open secret’ in the intelligence community.

Law enforcement sources suggested to Cockburn that the Capitol Police Department and Department of Justice have publicly identified the shooter as a Capitol Police officer in order to protect the reputation of the Secret Service. Cockburn also wonders if this isn’t an attempt to protect Pence from further anger or threats from Capitol rioters who wanted him to refuse to certify the results of the election on January 6.

A cover-up of this nature would also explain why the government hasn’t been forthcoming with other information about the alleged Capitol Police officer who they say shot Babbitt. Police officers who are involved in shootings are almost always identified publicly. The unnamed officer’s lawyer says that his client is being kept anonymous due to threats against his life. Babbitt’s family, however, argues that they have a right to know who shot and killed their beloved relative. Her husband, Aaron Babbitt, is suing Washington DC for access to records that would supposedly reveal the name of the officer ...

Lack of transparency is a sign of a corrupt government.

You did not provide the link to “The Conservative Review.”

You provided one to “The Conservativt Review.”

What is a “Conservativt” and why did someone buy that domain name for such stories?

From your “Four Winds” article:

“The deal that they got was that if they gave information that was useful, they could have a better death or a jail cell for life. Obama gave up Michelle, then breached his warrant, so he got one in the back of the head. Michelle chose lethal injection. Others were just executed.
The doubles and AI clones were activated and the deepstate now work for Trump. We have won with DECLAS, the show is just for the sleepers and to reveal the hidden players!“

You actually believe this stuff? You believe Pence was shot and Artificial Intelligence clones are taking the place of real people in government and media positions?

So, you’re saying VP Pence is dead and not a “distinguished visiting fellow” at the Heritage Foundation, not writing a book, didn’t speak in South Carolina or New Hampshire or at the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Florida? Was that Mick Pance or someone?

Deep state garbage. The playbook is divide and conquer.

I don’t believe this. It’s too convenient. Pence wouldn’t be in the hallway to the House Gallery, he is President of the Senate.

More plausible: panicked congressman, CBC member.

No trained officer would ever do that. Nor trained non- officer.

Do they let SS agents wear bracelets nowadays? Regulation, is it?

More BS for the sake of disarray.

Publicly released videos of the scene show a trajectory too low at the point of the muzzle flash. She was also alert on the way out. Also carried down the stairs head first. Her pants weren’t wet. She moved her right hand under her buttocks when being blotted by the other actors.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Pence was part of the shenanigans, but if Ashli was shot, it wasn’t at the staged break-in.

The Ashli story could easily die on the vine, but these diversionary angles keep popping up. That tells me there’s unsettled business behind the scenes.

Because the real truth about the Capitol Riot is about to be revealed?

My apologies, that “Conservativt” link is a bogus one, into coin selling. I should not have used it so quickly.

The link to the deposition that Lin Wood talks about that discusses the treason by Ryan/Pence/Rosenstein stands. I believe Pence is long gone, and has been for awhile.

Trump *knew* Pence would do what he did (or didn’t do) on 1/6/21, as he intonated during his speech earlier that day.

Those appearances are not the original Pence.

James Clapper Interrogation, published June 30 2021

The link above is a tell-all by Clapper of the treason, to use the 25th A to take down Trump early in his term, by Rosenstein, Ryan and Pence. ALL three are long gone.

“Mike Pence’s name gets associated with all sorts of bad stuff.”

Abuse of the power of suggestion is a forte’ of theirs. The only way they can have any influence is to plant toxic and malicious preconceived notions into the weak or mediocre-minded brains of group-thinkers and children.

What was Pence and his Secret Service detail doing in the Speaker of the House’s office suite?

What do you mean by “long gone?” These people are not in the spotlight now, for sure.

Good movies often have actors that play public figures that have long past (dead, in jail, otherwise unable to appear in public). With today’s tech, CGI/silicone masks, these characters often look exactly like the original.

We’re watching a movie play out, except instead of a movie screen, on TV news and mainstream media.

These folks are not in the spotlight now because the production costs would be substantial if they were, and in any case unneeded for the effect intended.
