Capitol Hill police are expected to seek an arrest warrant next week for Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, who was involved in a physical confrontation with a Capitol police officer Wednesday, police and legal authorities said Thursday.

Officially, the investigation of the incident, in which the DeKalb County Democrat allegedly struck a police officer who tried to stop her from going around a security checkpoint, is ongoing, said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, spokeswoman for Capitol Hill police.

However, police have notified the federal prosecutor's office in Washington that they will be seeking an arrest warrant after the investigation is complete next week, said police and legal authorities, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because the investigation was not yet complete.

McKinney ignored a reporter's questions Thursday as she walked into the Capitol, before word of the planned arrest warrant. She could not be reached for comment later Thursday. . . .

And here he is ... he and Johnny Cochrane often worked cases together.

"Moreover, he has gone from being a sole practitioner to being the owner of a thriving national partnership that has tried cases throughout most of the United States. The headquarters for his firm is located in downtown Stuart in an old whitewashed building that was once a hotel where Gary washed dishes as a college student. His partnership has more than 7,000 clients, three offices, 10 partners, 42 lawyers, doctors, investigators, accountants and pilots among its staff of more than 150 persons, not to mention that it brings in more dollars per associate than the biggest firms in the country. He also enjoys a lavish lifestyle, including a personal jet, a 50-room mansion, and, needless to say, he's no longer wishing for a Rolls Royce."

What a crew there.

Looks like Angela Davis up front and some pimp beside her and of course the blank stare from our hero.

These people think they are royalty and above reproach for anything they may do including trashing the "little people" like the cop trying to do his job.

Wasn't too long ago when one of these officers was shot and killed while on the job there in service to these hacks.

I finally saw the video tape of her confrontation with the parking lot policeman trying to stop her and then recognizing her. She goes off into this speech about being used to it because of her race to belittle the poor guy. I'm surprised he wasn't hit with the 200 lb chip on her shoulder.

“You go sista... we's all behind you!”

"and you know what ahm talkin' 'bout"

"If I slapped a cop. I would had my ass beat and been arrested...probably for something more serious than simple assualt the way prosecutors like to pile on."

In my youth I "accidentially" hit a cop during an fracus outside a bar. Next thing I knew I was getting a dirt facial.

[mewzilla]

Thanks for the ping! The fifth time? Jeepers creepers, what in tarnation are her voters thinking? Sheesh.

[Quix]

I strongly agree.

Any pics of the incident?

We ought to have printable images for bumper stickers.

Registered?

[Quix]

Too true.

But we can pray to the contrary.

Miracles do happen.

She might even be consumed by her supermouth . . . a la the Cheshire cat. I'd even watch CNN to see that! LOL.

What this woman thinks can effect (sic) your life. Scary.

"Born in Atlanta, Georgia on March 17, 1955, Cynthia (McKinney) earned a B.A. in International Relations from the University of Southern California in 1978 and is currently working to complete her dissertation in international relations at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. In 1984, Cynthia worked as a Diplomatic Fellow at Spellman College in Atlanta. She also taught political science at Clark Atlanta University and later at Agnes Scott College, a women's college in Decatur, Georgia. Before being elected to Congress, Cynthia served on the board of the HIV Health Services Planning Council of Metro Atlanta from 1991-92.

Cynthia is the daughter of veteran Georgia State Representative Billy McKinney and Leola McKinney, a nurse of forty years at Grady Hospital in Atlanta. Cynthia McKinney is the proud mother of a sixteen-year-old son, Coy McKinney."

She appears to be no dummy (or wasn't) and is of a political pedigree. Doesn't make her less scary as an office-holder, maybe more so. Fortunately, although she may be able to affect us, her office gives her no power to "effect" lives, which only the Good Lord can do.

McKinney is a total nut case and traitor.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, a black leader finally held accountable for something. Yeah, I'm thinking this is going to happen. NOT!

Can you imagine the race baiting that will encapsulate this issue?

We'll see.

[teenyelliott]

Admittedly, I despise the idiotic loon, but should a member of Congress be dressed that way?

She's not an Avon lady, for goodness sake.

[thoughtomator]

Let's hope she decides to flee the country to avoid charges.

[uncitizen]

Wasn't it posted the other day that no charges would be filed?

[RadioCirca1970]

Gitmo baby...GITMO...

She is at least as anti-American as Moussaoui

[daybreakcoming]

This will turn into McKinney's cause de jour. Sheila Jackson-Lee will be biting herself in envy at missed photo-ops.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Cynthia McKinney, bringing gangsta behavior to a free nation's capitol near you.

[daybreakcoming]

Cynthia is the daughter of veteran Georgia State Representative Billy McKinney and Leola McKinney, a nurse of forty years at Grady Hospital in Atlanta. Cynthia McKinney is the proud mother of a sixteen-year-old son, Coy McKinney."

Did I miss the part where she was married to the father of this son?

[Paulus Invictus]

Arrest, try and jail the idiot! She is one of the worst among many terrible RAT Reps. She should be deported to Cuba, a land she loves.

[Albion Wilde]

They ought to require a computerized swipe card or iridology for all Members of Congress. Last year and this, Leftie Dem Congresswimmen brought Code Pink disrupters into the Inauguration and a notorious agitator, Cindy Sheehan, into the State of the Union speech. Soon, they'll be packing smoke bombs at key national events - or worse. It's the raised-by-violent-media generation, all grown up.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

And the guy to her left looks like a two-bit gangster from the 30's.

How have we gotten here, that such egomaniacs and America-haters are running wild in the House?
