McKinney incident referred to U.S. Attorney's Office
The Associated Press - ATLANTA
Capitol Hill police have referred a scuffle between one of their officers and U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., a spokesman for the office said Monday.
"We are working with Capitol Hill police to fully understand and appreciate the incident," principal assistant U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "Pending review, it is inappropriate for us to comment any further at this time."
Phillips would not say whether a warrant was issued for McKinney's arrest.
McKinney spokesman Coz Carson on Monday also acknowledged the investigation.
"We're aware that the wheels are turning in Washington," Carson said. "We have no control over what they decide to do. We will make the appropriate statement and take the appropriate action once we know where they're going."
At a press conference Monday morning, black clergy and lawmakers came the defense of the firebrand congresswoman. McKinney smiled as her supporters heaped praise on her leadership and her new look _ her trademark cornrows replaced earlier this year by a curly brown afro.

Hey everybody, it's the hall-monitor thread cop (self-appointed).
Respect his authoritay!
Thanks. It's great to BE posting. FR is a Godsend and so are my FRiends here. Love, Mxxx
Great mind think alike. See post 120.
Nothing will happen because if she is charged (like she should be), then all the race warlords along with the willing media be screaming racism.
My prayers for a return to good health, Mary. Love, Peach
Are you listening to this Carie Lemack whose mom was killed on 9/11?
They had a different impression of the testimony from the jury and thought Massoui was just bragging and the government messed up.
Knock off the personal attacks!
Then........ do not come here.
There is a wedding with which you are not familiar.
Perhaps that could explain your ignorance.
I meant no harm at all...... just LOVE for a FINE COUPLE!
I realize that. I thought she held the patent on hair like that.
Did I hear right? I thought I just heard on my radio that SHE was planning on filing both criminal and civil suits against the OFFICER??!!
Can't be right, can it?
It does seem kind of odd, with all the side issue comments that are on almost very single thread, that someone would single you out. I have even seen casserole recipes posted in threads, etc... lol
"Did I hear right? I thought I just heard on my radio that SHE was planning on filing both criminal and civil suits against the OFFICER??!! "
Probably... a way to rally even more race pimps to her side. And the best defense is a good offense kind of thing. An considering how the media will run with this (if it is true), what has she got to lose?
Fine............ use an apostrophe when it is required.
Your congrats are APPRECIATED. Thank you very much.
I come here mostly for the off subject comments myself. ;)
Everything else is predictable after a few years.
Thank you so much! I was feeling all alone for while! It is getting really bad. I am addicted to Free Republic and love reading the opinions people share here but some of these personal sharings are getting out of hand.
Cuff & stuff her for the Perp Walk.
Very true................ I am tired of that silly HORSESH*T crap here directed at me..................
UCLA 68-------------the other team 60
