Michael Stenger, Senate security chief on Jan. 6, dies before hearing
The New York Post ^ | 06.28.2022 | Joshua Rhett Miller

The former Senate sergeant-at-arms who oversaw security during last year’s Capitol insurrection has died — one day before Tuesday’s hearing to present new evidence.

Michael Stenger, who resigned a day after pro-Trump rioters easily stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, died Monday morning, Politico reported.

The Marine Corps veteran, 71, spent 35 years in the Secret Service before joining the Senate sergeant-at-arms team in 2011. He was later appointed to the post in 2018. Former colleagues were notified of his death Monday afternoon, Politico reported.

Some reports said he was shot.

Rumor has it, he was going to testify to paid agitators! Random shooting!

The rumors he was shot are based on the shooting death of another man named Michael Stenger, age 20, in California in 2013:

Including the details, like his arrival in a friend’s car, being dropped off across the street, etc.:

Some people post lies to get retweets and likes and stir people up.

Cassidy Hutchinson, not Stenger, was the one scheduled to testify today:

Hillary’s strategery is sure “rubbing off” (or out) on the Demoncrats!

Re: “OK, where is he?”

???

If you mean the recently deceased Michael Stenger, age 71, who found dead at his home yesterday morning, maybe his body is at the coroner’s or maybe at a funeral home. How should I know?

I suppose the Michael Stenger who was shot and killed in California in 2013 at age 20 has long since been laid to rest.

Why do you ask?

Since he died at home an autopsy would need to be done prior to disclosure as well. Thus no cause of death, yet. It won’t matter what it entails, no matter facts, it’ll still reach a feverish and hysterical conspiracy. 😜

True, but I have no way of knowing whether the coroner is done with the body and sent along to funeral yet or not. Even if it’s a clear cut case (massive heart attack, gunshot, etc.), it can take some days for the report to be finished and death certificate issued.

In the meantime, there will be wild speculation. I feel so sad for his family having to endure this on top of his death.

I have not been rude, merely confused by your question. I answered as best I was able. Have a lovely day.

I assume Stenger had been deposed by J6. Does anyone know?

From my perspective this reeks like a 4 day old homicide scene.

Rule number 1. There are no coincidences.

Sounds rude to me.
But that’s okay.

Wasn’t intended to be rude in any way. I can see how you might take it that way, and sorry I was not more careful in my wording to avoid that. I was genuinely puzzled by the way question of where a dead man was.

Re: “Rule number 1. There are no coincidences.”

What a silly rule. They happen all the time.

I’m sorry also. Yes, it’s hard to ‘talk’ in comments. I do it all the time.

No hard feelings at all :) We can’t see each others’ facial expressions or hear the tone of words, so these sorts of misunderstandings happen.

Also, emotions have been running high around here with so many posters snapping and snarling at each other, it’s easy to become so accustomed to rudeness that it feels like a default.

It just now occurred to me why you asked that maybe?

My post was to clear up the confusion between the two Michael Stengers. There had already been four or five threads here with that same “he was shot” rumor based on the tweet of someone who was either a liar or the dupe of a liar. The tweet quoted a court report about the murder trial of the man accused of shooting 20-year-old Michael Stenger in California in 2013 — but leaving out the date and claiming it was the 71-year-old Michael Stenger who died yesterday.

Because it had already been discussed so much on other threads, I did not make clear there are two Michael Stengers, *both deceased*, in my post.

So you thought I was trying to say the Michael Stenger who died yesterday was still alive(?). I can see how you might think I was saying that now, but at the time, I could not for the life of me figure out why anyone would ask me where a dead man was.

So I misunderstood you, too, and apologize for that!

It’s really a bit a comical, now that’s all cleared up. Like a Monty Python or Roseanne Roseannadanna sketch.
