House Sergeant At Arms ‘Slips Up’ & May Have Just Revealed Name of Ashli Babbitt’s Shooter

The Acting House Sergeant at Arms appeared before a House committee and appears to have named Ashli Babbitt’s shooter.

Timothy Blodgett, in an exchange with Rep. Herrera-Buetler during a hearing on Jan. 6 that appeared on C-SPAN, seems to have casually dropped the name.

“The situation where you discussed, where Officer [Byrd] was at the door when Ms. Babbitt was shot, it was our Sergeant at Arms employee who rendered the aid.”

It is interesting that Blodgett names an “Officer Byrd” in the context of Ashli Babbitt’s shooting. An African-American Lieutenant Mike Byrd was reported by Roll Call as having once left his service weapon in a bathroom in 2019.

“A U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant left his service weapon in a bathroom Monday night and the unattended gun was discovered later by another Capitol Police officer,” Roll Call reported.

“After the House adjourned on Monday, Lt. Mike Byrd left his Glock 22 in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center complex, according to sources familiar with the incident,” the report said. “Byrd is the commander of the House Chambers section of the Capitol Police and was on the job Tuesday and Wednesday.”

“Byrd addressed the incident at Tuesday morning’s officer roll call and, according to sources, told fellow officers that he ‘will be treated differently’ because of his rank as a lieutenant,” the report added. “It was not clear what exactly the lieutenant meant by the comment.”

The New York Times reported more information about the unidentified shooter in January, who called him a “lieutenant” and a “veteran officer.” He was not charged for excessive force or for negligence after shooting the unarmed woman. As far as the unidentified police officer is concerned, he is reportedly in hiding. The Capitol Police is directly supervised by the U.S. Congress, and is thus immune from subpoena.

“More than six weeks after Babbitt succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the upper chest, authorities are keeping secret the identity of the officer who fired the fatal round,” Real Clear Investigations’ Paul Sperry noted. “They won’t release his name, and the major news media aren’t clamoring for it, in stark contrast to other high-profile police shootings of unarmed civilians.”

“The officer who opened fire on Babbitt holds the rank of lieutenant and is a longtime veteran of the force who worked protective detail in the Speaker’s Lobby, a highly restricted area behind the House chamber, sources say,” Sperry notes. “An African-American, he was put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation led by the Metropolitan Police of the District of Columbia, which shares jurisdiction with the Capitol Police. The Justice Department is also involved in the inquiry.”

In April, the Biden Department of Justice dropped all charges related to an unidentified Capitol police officer’s shooting of Ashli Babbitt.

The unnamed capitol officer held aloft .40-caliber Glock handgun and pointed it at Babbitt, while Sullivan shouts repeatedly that “there is a gun.” The officer shoots her after about 15 seconds, while police officers look on without intervening. The video can be watched below and the incident begins about 45 minutes in (caution: graphic):

Yet another black on white crime.

With all the installed and portable personal cameras EVERYWHERE it sure is curious that we don’t have name, address, phone number, date of birth, ancestry info for five generations and every grade the shooter ever got in school after these LONG six months.
Hmmmm!

Why didn’t the cops behind her not give her CPR?

[Brian Griffin]

From the footage I saw on TV, if the shooter was a store owner and Ashli was a would-be looter, the shooter would already have been sentenced for murder.

Does any active chief prosecutor of a major US jurisdiction care to disagree with that statement?

Putin Asks Reporter If US 'Assassinated' Ashli Babbitt!

Townhall.com ^ | June 15, 2021 | Leah Barkoukis

During an interview with NBC News, Putin said Russia was no worse than the United States in this regard, and used the government's handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as an example.

Putin showed flashes of defiance when he was asked whether it was a "coincidence" that several other political rivals had been assassinated in recent years.

"We don't have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody," Putin said when he was asked whether he ordered Navalny killed. (NBC News)

He then countered by asking whether the U.S. was guilty of assassinating Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot.

“Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin said. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that persecution for political opinions?”

"Someone needs to ask FBI liar, Chris Wray, how many of the US Capitol protesters were paid informants for the FBI?"

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

This wasn’t just a shooting it was an execution.

[TakebackGOP]

I’m glad Trump mentioned this and called out McConnell.

Most "American" prosecutors are lying piles of rotting dogsqueezins.

American is in quotes because they're DEFINITELY un-American.

“Why didn’t the cops behind her not give her CPR?”

Their non-reaction to a shot fired, not 10 feet from them, was odd.

[Diogenesis]

In the US Capitol, conservative women are shot
by double-O-BLACKMAN. no accountability, ever.

[Responsibility2nd]

The very idea that hundreds if not thousands of deep staters know the identity leads want to conclude that it won’t be long before that murderers name is known.

[Yogafist]

He only shot her because she was white. I mean, it works for the other side.

[Responsibility2nd]

Many argue that the reason the cops on the scene did not react to the shooting is because it was all staged.

Was Ashli really shot and killed? We may never know.

[stars & stripes forever]

Have a local CRIME STOP offer a hefty reward for an anonymous tip leading to the identity of the shooter.

[Richard Axtell]

The arrested not convicted patriots that ran afoul of the FBI entrapment setup, should be released now. Perhaps someone could do a pro bono and get these people their rights! How about it, Senator Cruz?

[frank ballenger]

Thank you for that meme....

Any Dem, whether a relative, friend, coworker or associate should have their feet held to the fire for allowing this as their mighty Dem Party runs this once great country.

They are to blame and I will never forget them and I will never forgive them.

[Responsibility2nd]

Good idea. Except as we all know anonymous leakers in Washington DC generally don’t live very long.

[FReepaholic]

But what would be the point of staging her death?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Where is WLM and the riots?

[Gay State Conservative]

An unarmed white woman murdered by a black “cop”. White lives matter!
