Capitol Police raises questions with job listing to hire own federal prosecutors: 'Who signed off on this?'

A new listing on a federal government job board is raising constitutional questions, as Capitol Police are looking to hire their own prosecutors.

The listing for an attorney position, posted July 29 on USAJobs.gov, says in the description that the employee would "serve as a Special Assistant United States Attorney" in the Capitol Police's District Offices. The salary is between $145,094 and $186,368 per year.

"This position is to represent the United States Government primarily prosecuting individuals and/or groups who have engaged in threats and/or acts of violence against Members of Congress, their staffs, United States Capitol Police employees, visitors to the Capitol complex, and facilities and properties within the Capitol Complex," the listing says.

Notably, the agency listed for the prosecutor's job is the Capitol Police, not the Department of Justice. Therein lies the problem, according to Mike Davis, founder of the Article 3 Project.

Ummm. Can you work remote, or do you have to move to DC?

There will be thousands of dictatorial authorities. Fiefdoms are the new American dream.

Better obey some black girl? Why? Because she pretends to be proud of her fat ass and if you don’t obey you die. The new rationality.

But you will need to sue to address, typical Lib, break the law and wait out a court case years down the road.

What is this ‘ethics’ of which you speak?

Worse than unethical.

It is the beginning of a kangaroo court in which the ordinary citizen will have no chance.

It even goes beyond the “Show me the man and I will show you the crime”.

Cops, judge and jury all rolled into one.

It will never be allowed by the supreme court, but we already have a congress and hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats who don’t care what the supreme court rules and refuse to honor its decisions.

The Capital police almost makes the Department of Jokes-R-Us seem competent. But, nobody expected the "Stupid Inquisition".

The nazis had their own crew of private “lawyers” as well.

So odd how they think alike, progs / nazis.

It’s not just unethical, it has no basis in law.

The police are not the courts, and prosecutors are an integral part of the courts...which are defined by the Congress, except in one case: the Supreme Court.

Garland and company are trying a little end run around the Constitution. We’ll see if they can accomplish it. If so, then we can simply abolish all courts: the cops will just appoint their own prosecutors - and judges, of course! - and dispense with any semblance of presumption of innocence.

Iread today that 800 people have been arrested for paticipating in the January 6 event.

How many people were actually in the building? I would guess a fraction of that number.

And look at the unconstitutional, inhumane, savage way those arrested and imprisoned have been treated.

Just imagine how much worse it would be with cops and prosecutors drawing their paycheck from the same office.

If this is allowed to happen, you can expect the same in your town.

Unethical? It’s illegal. Congress has no power to prosecute anyone.

If one supported President Trump and was even in D.C. As far as the FBI is concerned, you are in trouble. They will get you.

“...Capitol Police employees...”

What the hell makes these employees so special? Why not protect ALL employees throughout the entire district? Or will you need yet another special prosecutor for those other employees?

This is why the government leviathan grows so gigantic. They just keep creating jobs for themselves. And it NEVER ends or rolls back.

I took a look at the posting. You need a law degree. Fortunately, I have a law degree from Faber College. At least I think it’s a law degree. Will that do?

Just another major power grab by Pelosi. Like when they just declared they were opening a “satellite office” of the Capitol Police in Florida(!).

I need to follow up on that.

Well, they are already all Persecutors, they might as well have their team of Prosecutors too.
