Rep. Loudermilk wrote to Capitol Police Chief Manger asking for detailed information on Lt. Michael Byrd, who murdered Ashli Babbitt on J6 when she attempted to crawl through a window in the Capitol building. Loudermilk wanted to know the details of Byrd’s promotion to Captain. Some reports claim Byrd demanded a promotion. Loudermilk had concerns based on Byrd’s lengthy discipline record, for which he paid no price. His History of Recklessness Captain Byrd was referred to the USCP Office of Professional Responsibility (“OPR”) in 2004 for an incident in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Byrd discharged his weapon. He shot at...

EMERGENCY‼️…….. EMERGENCY ‼️ Today, I have received multiple messages about upcoming security preparedness issues for Capitol Police led events in January. As we all know one of those events is the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. I’m told USCP Chief J Thomas Manger and USCP Assistant Chief Sean Gallagher are holding eleven (11) briefings with Department employees. I’m being told that Gallagher is leading these briefings and I’m hearing first hand that officers in attendance are being packed in rooms like sardines in a can and can barely hear Gallagher speaking. Additionally, they are holding these briefings at the beginning and end...

As Gateway reported, Tucker Carlson sat down to interview the former Chief of the Capitol Police Steven Sund again, since his Fox News interview with Sund was canned after Tucker’s firing. Sund, who was never called to testify before the J6 committee, raises serious allegations against Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and the Pentagon leadership of Gen. Mark Milley. According to Steve Sund, the intel agencies had had several warnings of potential violence ahead of Jan. 6, but they were not communicated to him. “On Sunday and Monday, they had been discussing locking down the city… because of the concern for...

The interview is infuriating because it confirms everything you’ve long suspected about events on January 6. Fox News shut Tucker Carlson down right before his show was to have aired an interview with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. Yesterday, Tucker released a new interview he did with Sund, and it confirms everything you’ve suspected: The Capitol Police were kept in the dark about possible problems on January 6 and, when problems finally occurred, they were consistently denied timely aid. In other words, it was a set-up. (And I have an even darker take on events than Sund does.) The...

Former House sergeant-at-arms Paul Irving told senators he did not hear from Sund until 1:28 p.m. and that no formal request for National Guard assistance was lodged until after 2 p.m. Pittman’s testimony appears to back up the narrative shared by Sund, who resigned shortly after violent insurrectionists threatened the presidential transfer of power. That discrepancy between former officials’ recollections of their response is an early, defining element of the investigation into the handling of the insurrection. And Sund’s recollection appeared suspect, since video of Irving on the House floor at 1:09 p.m. seemed to confirm his account. But Pittman’s...

"...Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who resigned under pressure last week, said he made the request two days before Wednesday’s riot...and repeated his request as he watched the rioters attacking his officers."“If we would have had the National Guard, we could have held them at bay longer..."
