Well, this is a bit odd. The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a congressional staffer on Monday morning after he was caught trying to smuggle ammo into the Cannon House Office Building.
The staffer works for Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), who currently serves on the House Appropriations Committee and is the Ranking Member of the Committee on House Administration.
The USCP said in a statement:
At approximately 8:45 a.m., a House staffer entered the Cannon House Office Building and put his bag through screening. USCP officers noticed what appeared to be ammunition on the x-ray screen. After a hand search of the bag, officers found four ammunition magazines and eleven rounds of ammunition. The staffer told the officers that he forgot the ammunition was in the bag. 38-year-old Michael Hopkins was arrested, and he is facing charges for unlawful possession of ammunition, including one charge for possession of a high-capacity magazine.”

Tinfoil: For when President Trump addresses Congress?
yeah, they haven’t given up. Trump better be made aware.
Always commies doing what commies do best..you can bet this wont be mentioned in the commie press since the perp has a D next to his name
Article:
“he forgot the ammunition was in the bag”
What was he using it for—shooting at random commuters?
Lol.
From his photo, he looks like a white supremacist for sure.
Only for someone with morals. Biden could issue a pardon for the guy. I mean, it is called the Cannon House Office Building, isn't it? Natural mistake.
Quick, Joe! Issue another pardon!
🤨
Tinfoil...
Yes, did the bullets have anyone’s name on them?
Morelle is likely furious. M gets voted in easily...like 65% of the vote.
Staging
Gotta love his own anti-gun policies biting his own ass.
Oh, he must be the staffer who writes for Hillary Clinton and Chris Wray.
That’s a bit scary given the fact that this person is both anti-gun and very anti-Trump.
What did he have planned?
The law about permits for ammo is stupid, but it is what it is and that’s what the voters in DC apparently want.
However, carrying a mag full of ammo into the Cannon House Office building makes me wonder a) where is the firearm, and b) does he have a permit for it; c) when and where was that firearm purchased?
“staging”
Agreed.
That means there are other conspirators on the loose right now.
How many guns and ammo have been brought to the Capitol during J6 event
by the participants sitting in jail right now?
Isn’t he just so precious.
How many more are involved????????
Or they were going to plant it on someone.
Maybe he can appeal all the way to the Supreme Court and get the ‘high capacity magazine’ laws thrown out as un-Constitutional.
Sounds like the Capitol is run like MeHEEco. Carrying a few stray bullets across the border into the Capitol can get you arrested.
The leftist Demonrats are prepping for Trump’s State of the Union address.
