A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned former President Donald Trump’s recent statement threatening the officer who shot Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt and called on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to stand up to Republicans who continue to attack members of law enforcement who fought to protect the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. “Enough is enough,” wrote Robyn Patterson, Pelosi’s deputy communications director, in a statement Thursday. “These attacks are disgusting, wrong and a wholly unacceptable way to treat the men and women who went through hell to protect our democracy from armed insurrectionists.” Patterson was responding to a...

Of Patriots and Tyrants Six Republican lawmakers held a press conference outside of the Department of Justice on Tuesday to demand answers about the treatment of Americans arrested over the January 6 mostly peaceful Capitol protest. Congressmembers Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Louis Gohmert (R-Texas), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Bob Good (R-Va.), and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) spoke at a podium outside the office of the DOJ, which Rep. Greene claimed they were not allowed to enter. “We want to know how the detainees are being treated inside the jails,” Greene declared before introducing Rep. Gohmert. “We have received reports...

Nancy Pelosi has some unfinished business with Donald Trump. The volatile former president and Pelosi foe is long gone from the White House but still haunts Capitol Hill. And as much as some in her party might want to move on from Trump, the speaker has made overseeing an investigation of the deadliest attack on the Capitol in two centuries into a core mission this year — putting her squarely in the path of the former president who Democrats say played a central role in the insurrection. Her GOP opponents are warning that Pelosi’s close involvement in the select committee...

Ashli Babbitt‘s husband Aaron Babbitt and Attorney Terrell Roberts joined Tucker Carlson in mid-June to discuss the continued challenges they have had getting any information on her death or the identity of her government-employed killer. During the discussion, Tucker Carlson asked Attorney Roberts about the report that Ashli’s shooter also left his loaded gun in a US Capitol restroom Tucker Carlson: Mr. Roberts, let me ask you, there are reports online, that’s incredible I don’t know if they’re true, that the Capitol Hill police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt, I’m not going to mention the name, was the same officer...

Days ahead of his summit with President Biden in Geneva, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the United States was being hypocritical in its criticism of the way his country handles internal dissent. During an interview with NBC News, Putin said Russia was no worse than the United States in this regard, and used the government's handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as an example. He even pointed to the arrests of hundreds of suspects in the U.S. Capitol riot and the death of one rioter as proof that the U.S. also targets its citizens for their political opinions, just...

To quote, former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld: This is a "known known" (by the swamp). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_are_known_knowns Why is this NOT public information?

The family of Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot and killed during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, sued the city of Washington this month to obtain the identity of the officer who fired the fatal shot. The family is also seeking video of the shooting and documents and witness statements from the Metropolitan Police Department, which investigated the incident, according to CNBC. The lawsuit was filed last week in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.

@amuse @amuse BREAKING: CNN’s Jade Sacker penetrating the Capitol with a member of BLM/Antifa cheering, “We did it!” And then asking her conspirator if he was filming, he said he’d delete it, he lied.

The husband of the late Ashli Babbitt laments that the American veteran just wanted her voice to be heard in her final moments; her voice was ignored and now her death at the hand of a Capitol police officer is, too, Aaron Babbitt told Newsmax TV. "For all intents and purposes. I guess it's just not sexy enough to fit the narrative that's going on right now," Aaron Babbitt told Thursday night's "Greg Kelly Reports." "They're just lambasting her on social media and mainstream news."You know the term 'insurrectionist' keeps getting throwing around, 'rioter.' To me, she was just a...

The attorney representing the family of Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot and killed by U.S. Capitol Police during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, plans to sue the agency for more than $10 million and has already put officials on notice, demanding accountability for the slain Air Force veteran.“Right now, we have no accountability — zero accountability — they give no explanation to justify the shooting and they do not even identify the officer. That is what they do in autocratic countries, not in the United States,” said Terrell N. Roberts III, a Maryland-based attorney.Mr. Roberts takes issue with...

The husband of murdered unarmed Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt is now speaking out. Everyone needs to pray for this man’s safety because he’s not pulling any punches when it comes to calling out our government. As you know, Ashli Babbit was shot and killed while attending the January 6th event at the State Capitol. She was unarmed, and posed no immediate threat to anyone, yet, even so, she was shot in the neck by a federal officer. Was he a Capitol Police Officer? Who knows. The government is tightlipped and refuses to release the man’s identity. All we know is...

The family of Ashli Babbitt—the only person shot during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol—plans to sue the U.S. Capitol Police department, and the officer who shot her, for at least $10 million, their attorney said.The civil suit will follow a decision by federal prosecutors not to seek criminal charges against a plainclothes police lieutenant whose single shot killed Babbitt, who was unarmed.

Federal officials in Washington already have confirmed that a police officer at the U.S. Capitol – whose name still is being withheld – will not face any criminal charges for shooting and killing unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt at the Jan. 6 riot. But that person may be facing civil counts, according to a report in BizPacReview. The publication said the confirmation came from a lawyer for the family of Babbitt in an interview with NewsMax who revealed the family will file civil charges "over the violation of her constitutional rights." The lawyer, Terry Roberts, was being interviewed about the decision...

Pelosi delivers remarks...

All told, seven people died in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. But only Ashli Babbitt’s death was directly caused by violence that day. She was a rioter killed by a Capitol Police officer, who fired the only shot by any person during the 4½-hour siege. Yet the story of who he is and why he opened fire remains shrouded in mystery. More than six weeks after Babbitt succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the upper chest, authorities are keeping secret the identity of the officer who fired the fatal round. They won’t release his name,...

On January 6th, 2021, Ashli Elizabeth Babbitt was executed by a Capitol Police Officer who seemed to hold no restraint. 50 days later, the Capitol Police Officer responsible has been identified in photos before and during the shooting. The Police Lieutenant’s name is being withheld from Ashli Babbit’s attorneys. This is the Officer responsible for using excessive force and executing Ashli Babbitt. Before killing Ashli, the Officer is seen aiming his firearm at fellow colleagues. You can see the Officer disregards nearly every basic firearm safety rule in the book. His finger is wrapped around the trigger, while his firearm...

Is the video that claims the Ashli Babbitt shooting was staged available anywhere? I mentioned it to a friend today and wanted to send him a link. But the places where I looked had taken it down. ML/NJ

An incredible new video by Wooz News using various camera angles from the Capitol “insurrection” and shooting suggests something is very wrong with the narrative. https://youtu.be/OWqFauy0EiA
