The Washington Examiner reports that the suit was filed on behalf of Babbitt’s estate and her husband, Aaron Babbitt, and claims the officer who shot Babbitt was “incompetent” and “dangerous” and should have recognized Babbitt posed no threat to Congress when she entered the House speaker’s lobby. Kyle Cheney from Politico posted the news on X this Friday afternoon. UPDATE: The radical leftist judge on the case, Ana Reyes, is SCREAMING at both sides in the courtroom. Insane! Via Julie Kelly:

Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a message to staff on Friday that he's "expanded" the scope of his investigation into the office's handling of cases stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol -- and likened them to the government's internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, according to an email obtained by ABC News. Martin, whose nomination is still pending confirmation by the Senate, has dubbed his investigation the "1512 Project," referring to the felony obstruction charge used against hundreds of Capitol attack defendants that was later narrowed by...

Judge Boasberg’s Brother, a former associate at Covington & Burling, Hired Illegal Aliens to Teach American Students, Now He Runs A School In Singapore Promoted By The US State Department ... another shocking conflict of interest involving Judge James Boasberg, who recently threatened to hold Trump administration officials in contempt for failing to provide flight information related to the deportation of illegal Venezuelan gang members belonging to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. The judge's brother, Tom Boasberg, a fluent Chinese speaker and former superintendent of Denver Public Schools (DPS) for a decade, hired illegal aliens on DACA to teach...

I am looking for links to original videos/photos from inside the capital building when Ashli Babbitt was shot. Not outside in the hallway (which are easily available) but inside the room showing the barricades. Specifically I want to see several 'claims' are true: 1. That Senators/Congress people were in the room and they had to be protected. Frequently quoted as justification for shooting. 2. That the Shooter (Michael Byrd) was alone (not with other security near the door) and he warned people not to come through. 3. Actual videos of the glass and doors being broken before Ashli Babbitt tried...

DC Judge Beryl Howell loves to shoot off her mouth when it comes to the president and his supporters. Now she's playing the victim as Trump DOJ uses her own words, and actions, against her. As the manhunt for American citizens who participated in the events of January 6 accelerated in early 2021, the Biden Department of Justice took an unprecedented approach in the handling of political protesters: demand pretrial detention even for those charged with nonviolent offenses such as obstruction and conspiracy. A special prison for J6ers had been opened in the nation’s capital a few days after Jan...

"Well, now the other shoe drops" — Auron MacIntyre James Howard Kunstler It’s as simple as this: the orgy of judicial lawfare put on by blob-adjacent Democratic Party seditionists trying to make the USA ungovernable is looking to get swatted. Hubris is a harsh mistress, but Nemesis is more like the gods’ re-po man, and he comes to the door with attitude, meaning bidness. Blob judges will get flushed out of their humid conclaves naked and find themselves, astoundingly, in the FO zone of FAFO-land. Do you think AG Bondi is playing tiddlywinks in Main Justice or that Kash Patel...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL...

Well, looks like another Deep State darling is biting the dust. This time, it’s Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger—and let’s just say, the timing is more than a little suspicious. ... Chief J. Thomas Manger will retire from the U.S. Capitol Police on May 2, his office announced Tuesday. […] Manger’s four years on the Hill weren’t without incident. In January, a man managed to slip a handgun past security while on a Capitol tour. The incident provoked bipartisan condemnation from House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and ranking member Joseph D. Morelle, D-N.Y. “The USCP has requested a nearly...

The most famous structure and institution that bears its name, the Kennedy Center, is now being run on an interim basis by Richard Grenell, one of the Trump’s closest allies. And when it gets reformed, who’ll be one of the first acts playing there? According to Steve Bannon’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, it’ll be the J6 Prison Choir. The group, which is comprised of men who spent time behind bars for their roles in the Jan. 6. 2021 Capitol incursion, has been invited to the Kennedy Center by Grenell, according to Bannon.

Outspoken January 6 prisoner Jake Lang was kicked out of CPAC on Wednesday during a live-stream video. Jake was then escorted out of the Gaylord Hotel as he kept on broadcasting! Here is the video stream from inside CPAC as Jake is escorted from the premises.

Squads of FBI agents were escorted out of field offices in New York, Miami and Washington. Agents who were escorted from the Miami office were involved in the Mar-a-Lago documents case ... Everyone involved in that raid knew it was wrong ... We were just following orders ... Fire Driscoll immediately. File charges against him and prosecute him in the Miami courts. The next one will comply. Play by their rules. They set the precedent. ... If Mr Driscoll felt so strongly about not complying with a lawful command, he should have resigned his post. Instead, his “team” drove him...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -FBI employees were ordered on Sunday to answer a questionnaire about any work they may have done on criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, stoking fear about a fresh round of firings at the law enforcement agency. The list of questions in the memo, seen by Reuters, direct employees to give their job title, any role they played in the investigations into the Jan. 6 riot by supporters of President Donald Trump and whether they helped supervise such investigations.

Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll is on shaky ground with Department of Justice leaders for refusing to deliver the names of bureau employees involved in Jan. 6 cases and other Trump investigations. President Trump tapped Mr. Driscoll, an FBI veteran, to lead the bureau temporarily while his nominee for director, Kash Patel, goes through the Senate confirmation process. But questions remain over whether Mr. Driscoll can stay in the job before Mr. Patel is confirmed and sworn in. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove on Friday ordered Mr. Driscoll to compile a list of all current and former FBI employees...

Radical Dem Governor Who Defends Illegal Aliens Signs Order Refusing J6 Prisoners From State EmploymentThe radical Democrat Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, appears to be setting himself up for a discrimination suit. Gov. Pritzker has been infuriating residents of Illinois over his proud defense of illegal alien criminals in his state.Earlier this week, law enforcement officers in the state openly condemned the Democrat governor’s protection of illegal aliens. They called him out for telling sheriffs to “stop coordinating with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when undocumented criminals are released from prison. “This is unconscionable, dangerous and puts our most vulnerable...

US Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) sent “The View” host Sunny Hostin into a tizzy Monday when he asserted that President Trump’s New York City “hush money” trial had been politically motivated. Appearing on the far-left ABC chat show in his trademark hoodie, Fetterman started out by covering a wide range of topics with the hosts, from Hunter Biden to Trump’s pardon of the Jan. 6 rioters. The first-term senator had already rankled his fellow Democrats by visiting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month — a meeting he called “overall, a positive experience” on “The View,” adding that he felt the...

An Indiana man who was recently pardoned for his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was shot and killed during a traffic stop by a sheriff's deputy Sunday. Matthew Huttle, 42, was involved in a traffic stop at 4:15 p.m. by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy, authorities said in a news release. It alleged that Huttle resisted arrest and was found to have a firearm on him. "An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect," the release said.

MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump “has co-opted America’s heartbeat.” Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “Democrats quietly reminding each other this was a 1.5% election and that Republicans have a one vote majority in the House and a three vote majority in the Senate.” Deutsch said, “I just want to add one thing to that, we can say that to ourselves, he has co-opted America’s heartbeat.” Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “Well, if America’s heartbeat is to have hostage families standing behind him.” Deutsch said, “I’m not saying you might not like that. Listen to...

Morning Joe on Tuesday descended into bitter infighting over Donald Trump's pardoning of the January 6 rioters. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski quickly turned on marketing expert Donny Deutsch for claiming non-MAGA Americans supported the dramatic move. Deutsch also argued the president's thumping election win in November meant he has 'co-opted America's heartbeat'. A furious Brzezinski rounded on him and the show quickly turned into a shouting match, with the married hosts insisting Trump is 'breaking one norm after another'. The couple had repeatedly slammed the president on air since he first ran for office in 2016, branding him a...
