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.

She really needs to go, but I'm afraid she's become the poster child of the "Blacks are discriminated against" screaming monkeys.

That interview with Wolf today was absolutely surreal. She's completely out of touch with reality and is not just playing the race card, imo, she's playing the RIOT CARD.

If she's indicted, that means she has to give up her position of head moonbat minority leader, right?

Theresa McKinney is in office and we're giving amnesty to illegal aliens. Who would have thunk it?

She and her shills immediately jumped up and played the Jesse Jackson free to pass Joker card. Funny isn't how, she is now the victim!   One thing we can always depend on, is the same usual suspects and race card being played.   I hope the DOJ charges her with assault.

I missed all the media today. I would have gagged.

These people are in a serious time warp. They have achieved equality to a degree that they now have the right to be judged for a crime and held responsible the same as anyone else.

Cindy won't grow up and no one will make her. No one dares.

I hope they have the guts to charge her, too, SA.
I'm not holding my breath.
She's a typical sociopathic liberal.

Nahhh, I wouldn't hold my breath either.

The USDOJ is about as flaky as it comes.
The biggest law firm in America, however,
they usually take the least path of resistance.

2/3rd of the House has to agree to this?

Virtually every Dem would vote NO. That alone would kill any chance of passage.

Why not have the vote? Anyone voting against it would be seen for what they are.

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

Wow, so if one party ever got a 2/3's majority, they could just expell everyone in the other party.

Not really. It has to be according to the rules established and defined for disorderly Behavior.

Of course, since Democrats think it is o.k. to assault police officers and attack our people in uniform, it is not likely...

I wonder if she'll be forced to resign, as was Tom Delay? Yeah, I won't hold my breath.

"... if someone had shown me that photo and said that this is a U.S Representative, I would have never believed them."

How about if they'd said, "This is a U.S. Representative from South Georgia?"
