Who killed Ashli Babbitt? (A New Theory Emerges)
The Spectator ^ | June 30, 2021 | Cockburn

Posted on 06/30/2021 6:56:13 PM PDT by BurgessKoch

Who shot Ashli Babbitt, the pro-Trump Air Force veteran who was killed by police during the January 6 riot at the US Capitol building? The American people were told that it was a Capitol Police officer who fired the fatal shot. But Cockburn has stumbled across some information that points to a different explanation.

Sources close to and within the intelligence community tell Cockburn that Babbitt was actually shot by a member of then-vice president Mike Pence’s protective detail. The VP’s detail, of course, is provided by US Secret Service, not the Capitol Police. One person asserted to Cockburn over drinks in DC that this is ‘basically an open secret’ in the intelligence community.

Law enforcement sources suggested to Cockburn that the Capitol Police Department and Department of Justice have publicly identified the shooter as a Capitol Police officer in order to protect the reputation of the Secret Service. Cockburn also wonders if this isn’t an attempt to protect Pence from further anger or threats from Capitol rioters who wanted him to refuse to certify the results of the election on January 6.

A cover-up of this nature would also explain why the government hasn’t been forthcoming with other information about the alleged Capitol Police officer who they say shot Babbitt. Police officers who are involved in shootings are almost always identified publicly. The unnamed officer’s lawyer says that his client is being kept anonymous due to threats against his life. Babbitt’s family, however, argues that they have a right to know who shot and killed their beloved relative. Her husband, Aaron Babbitt, is suing Washington DC for access to records that would supposedly reveal the name of the officer ...

Interesting theory. Might explain the security / administrative state's reticence to be transparent.

This is bogus to me as well. I think Pence is a snake, but this is a stretch.

Well it looks like it could not have been Pence himself; his magazine appeared to be empty after shooting at the crowd outside.

Pence was always a ticking time bomb, a career politician who always chose career over country. That one of his own killed a Trump supporter shouldn't come as a surprise. Look at the hellish floodgates Pence caused to be unleashed on General Flynn.

What Pence?

Former Vice President Michael Pence took a bullet to the chest on April 14 as he and an unidentified male companion tried to elude U.S. Special Forces that had been tasked with apprehending him under terms described in a sealed indictment. The formal charges were drafted after Pence helped Deep State operatives legitimize Biden’s presidency at the January 6 Electoral College certification and after Trump had obtained irrefutable evidence linking Pence to a plot to topple him.

Affirmative action. Fat women that can’t deal with car doors and African American men that don’t know safety rules( Keep your finger off the trigger).
The Democrat government is a mess.

Not sure...

My belief, however, is that Pence committed Treason well before 1/6. There is a report floating around, a deposition, I think... that Pence and Rosenstein conspired to invoke the 25th much early during DJT’s term. The agreement was that Rosenstein would move up to VP, for his cooperation.

That would make the current story (on 1/6) and the one on Conservative Review both suspect.

Since Pence probably knows who did shoot Ashley why doesn’t he enlighten all of us.
