This clown’s got Michael Avenatti II written all over him. It may take a little while, but some type of controversy will bring him down.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren got on NBC by playing carefully edited scenes of a lot of shuffling and chaos. You can’t make out anything, partly because it’s all from HIS camera’s perspective. Not sure she didn’t show any footage from OTHER police officers’ cameras that actually show him getting beaten.

I just looked at his picture—I knew it was him. Was he even in uniform on 1/6? I have seen pictures of a protestor who looks EXACTLY like him. This guy is a drama queen who is seizing the opportunity (just like the Reichstag democrats) thanks to the stable genius and his band of bumblers playing checkers instead of the 3456789-D chess for which they wanted to be known for playing.

Well, isn’t that link interesting. DC undercover narcotics cop Michael Fanone, who hasn’t worn an actual uniform in 10 years, supposedly wore one on Jan 6, 2021. Seems odd to have an undercover cop and not use him to go undercover at a demonstration at the Capitol, instead having him squeeze into a uniform he hasn’t worn in a decade for the day. I wonder if there is any video of his moment in the tunnel area where the crowd was pushing and shoving, that shows him in his uniform? Or is there no video of him getting mobbed because it would show him in his undercover garb, on the wrong side of the police line? Speculation of course, but if the link’s info on him is accurate...

If his Dad is Joseph Fanone, Sr counsel of Ballard Spahr, a law firm based in Filthydelphia, PA...that makes most of its donations to Democrats...and also does work for Pierre Omidyar with his Iranian roots, and was involved in defending Pennsylvania’s crazy election rule modifications... then this guy needs a much closer look.

I was thinking the same thing. The only time I heard of the Capitol visitors attacking the cops was when some cops were beating some woman who was laying on the ground (or maybe the cops were just pushing more people on top of the defenseless woman) and these people were trying to keep the cops from beating on the woman (who eventually died). So if this cop was one of those who murdered the woman - then yeah, he deserved a beat down. And I'm sure the people that tried to defend the lady are still rotting in DC Gitmo.
We have two justice systems.

Ballard Spahr is the former law firm of on Christopher Wray, director of the FBI and lawyer for one Chris Christie who pushed for his nomination to the detriment of real Republicans everywhere. Wray was the Bridgegate lawyer who reportedly billed NJ taxpayers $ 2.1 million defending the fat one.

What about the big black Capital Policeman who shot and killed an unarmed
female white Air Force Vet.
What happened to him?

There were some photos of stupid demonstrators attacking the police at the barricades in a vicious manner. The question is who was involved.

That said, some of the officers who testified at the congressional witch-hunt hearings sounded like they were trained in how to speak.

Having testified before four congressional committees including one in Executive Session (for security reasons), I learned that most of what you say is in response to the counsel/congressperson’s requests or questions. If you sound too good,it is because you’ve been trained to sound that way.
