Michael Byrd, Who Shot and Killed Ashley Babbit, Was "Exonerated" Without Cooperating With Investigation or Giving an Interview to Investigators
When U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd went on "NBC Nightly News" to tell his side of shooting and killing unarmed Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt, he made a point to note he'd been investigated by several agencies and exonerated for his actions that day. "There's an investigative process [and] I was cleared by the DOJ [Department of Justice], and FBI and [the D.C.] Metropolitan Police," he told NBC News anchor Lester Holt in August, adding that the Capitol Police also cleared him of wrongdoing and decided not to discipline or demote him for the shooting. Byrd then answered a series of questions by Holt about the shooting, but what he told the friendly journalist, he likely never told investigators. That's because he refused to answer their questions, according to several sources and documents reviewed by RealClearInvestigations. In fact, investigators cleared Byrd of wrongdoing in the shooting without actually interviewing him about the shooting or threatening him with punishment if he did not cooperate with their criminal investigation. "He didn't provide any statement to [criminal] investigators and they didn't push him to make a statement," Babbitt family attorney Terry Roberts said in an RCI interview. "It's astonishing how skimpy his investigative file is." Roberts, who has spoken with the D.C. MPD detective assigned to the case, said the kid-glove treatment of Byrd raises suspicions the investigation was a "whitewash." The lawyer's account appears to be backed up by a January 2021 internal affairs report, which notes Byrd "declined to provide a statement," D.C. MPD documents show. Asked about it, a D.C. MPD spokeswoman confirmed that Byrd did not cooperate with internal affairs agents or FBI agents, who jointly investigated what was one of the most high-profile officer-involved shooting cases in U.S. history. "MPD did not formally interview Lt. Byrd," deputy D.C. MPD communications director Kristen Metzger said. And, "He didn't give a statement while under the U.S. Attorney's Office investigation.
He might have said something incriminating in an interview, so best not to have one! There is no Deep State. It's just a right-wing conspiracy theory. BTW, Kevin Clinesmith is practicing law again and Andy McCabe has his pension back.

There is a very specific UOF doctrine with precedent setting cases that applies here. This shooting (really murder) fails all of those tests. If this saw the inside of most courtrooms there would be no way to hide that fact. That's why they made sure it didn't.

I still think that they were trying to touch off a bloodbath. They probably figured people inside the Capitol were armed and would start shooting if they killed one of them. That is what BLM would do in the same situation.
Unfortunately, Grandma was not a pedophile on the streets of Kenosha, so there will be no trial for this jackwagon. Doesn't mean Justice will not find him one day.

It doesn't matter how long its been. It was that way. Now its this way.
And not every case of harassment and abuse was for reasonable cause. Some guys are just horrible people. This cop is one example. There were others. Some people should never be given power. Corruption, abuse, and evil is not new. Only the targets have changed. Its even the same political party.

"the most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. they fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. True terror will arrive at these people's door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy..but will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone"

From their point of view, they were about to get murdered and hung up like Saddam.
That's why they are protecting him. Because if the truth were told - we were scared and overreacted - it would make them look like shit and they aren't having any of that.
I've no doubt they hid in their offices and thought we might kill them and cook them over a bonfire. That perception was and continues to be generated by the media and its attack on conservatives.

I agree, but I think you can also throw Trump in there. He could have pardoned them on the way out. Especially since he was the one that got them all out there.
What were they going to do, impeach him again? They did it anyway. It's not like he had an election to worry about either.

You can understand the difference between "commitment" and "involved" by looking at a bacon and egg breakfast.
Only here, the public is bleeding out in the gutter, and the "involved officer" is doing interviews on CNN and getting free drinks all over DC.

Yup, their last ditch effort to prompt the crowd into a proper riot. John Sullivan had final orders to bring a handful of the more rebellious ones upstairs, sheep for the slaughter. In return, he'd get footage of what sparked the riots and burning of the Capitol and checks waiting for him from CNN/MSNBC. Instead, all he got was footage of somebody being executed and nothing else. But, he still got $35k from each outlet.

It is also possible that he is not connected, but was just "overlooked" though incompetence or connections, and they decided to turn him into a snark hunt - they do that a lot, where the Left refuses to cooperate on things to get the Right worked up over the wrong issue.
It is a deception tactic, like putting out false information which is easily disproved. It makes the other side look foolish, and takes the attention away from the real lies.

Epps gets a lot of focus but he was not the only one. Revolver did a good piece a month or so ago that featured 4 or 5 others who were very involved in doing things like removing security fencing and exhorting people to move into the Capitol who were clearly captured on video and in some cases were in police custody and nothing has happened to any of them.
There was one guy they referred to as Black Ski Mask Guy who was arrested the night before on a bus that was carrying guns. The bus was taken down by at least a dozen cops and everyone onboard was booked and then released. The arrest took place right in front of DC police station.
Black Ski Mask Guy was one of them and the next day he was seen on video helping tear down security fence to allow people onto the Capitol grounds. He's never been arrested or identified yet the cops know exactly who he is.

I am not disputing that he was an instigator, just that he may not have any connection to the feds. Or maybe he does - we don't know.

So is this to create a fury over Eps, and then the dems get to show he is not connected and make everyone look bad? If he was connected, Cruz would have said so in the hearing.

The orange hat guys are another - they were supposed to be proud boys, and they all glowed brighter than their caps. Even have footage from a couple of sources of what appears to be a guy and gal handing weapons out a Capitol window, bats and 2x4's. They really, really wanted to get people violent, and totally projected the general reaction of the crowd. It's so bad they can't even cherry pick footage from the thousands of hours to put together a 3 minute false narrative.

That black cop, David Dorn - I mixed him up with that other black cop, Christopher Dorner.
Of course Christopher Dorner was immediately memory-holed because he *absolutely had to be memory-holed.*
He showed that one motivated individual can bring a major metro area to its fuckin' knees for nine straight days.

They are just confirming everything we've been saying all along and making themselves look like idiots.
I think this is a fight between two factions in the Biden Junta. The "We beat covid, yeah go us!" faction is trying to say COVID is no longer a big deal, and the "COVID PARTY DON'T STOP" faction is trying to keep the karenwaffen wound up.
So, if it looks messy, its because it isn't the normal "everyone get with the new narrative" operation you normally see.

Worse than that. He said we were domestic enemies. And he took an oath to defend the constitution from enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. His emphasis on domestic. The question i asked in an earlier thread is are there legal implications to this? Any government employee- esp DoJ has sworn an oath to defend against domestic enemies. And now the president has classified anyone who does not support his voting rights as a domestic enemy.

It is a Spanish word that in continental jargon refers to a wine cellar or shop but in Latino areas of the US, specifically the northeast, is a convenience store small grocery.
I do not have a problem with it as I would not have a problem with my Italian friends having a "salumeria," "trattoria," or "pizzeria."

Back in the 80s, two LAPD officers pulled over a marked LA Sheriff's vehicle with uniformed officers inside. The LAPD then put the deputies on the ground and held them at gunpoint as they called out a Sgt who also couldn't determine if the officers were genuine or not for several minutes.
LASD put out a very sarcastic training video for LAPD officers to help them identify uniformed LASD vehicles and uniforms.

I think the most salient point of the Dorner affair was the breakdown in law and order. Because he targeted police and their families, the LAPD ground to a halt in search of him. They plunged the city into chaos for over a week during the hunt. They completely lost their equilibrium, shooting three innocent people during their headlong freakout (and then the City whitewashed all of that).
He found a critical weak point, largely by accident, because of his personal anger at the other cops.

Keeping him as a senator vs having him as our singular presidential standard-bearer are 2 different things. We have WAY better choices for the latter in 2024 (but I doubt we have better choices that can get through TX's party system for the former). I like him as a senator, but he's lost the love. And no love, and I could do better for prez...

As a rule of thumb, you can get 1/3rd of people to agree to almost anything. So if something polls that low or lower (Congress, journalists, used car salesmen), it's uniquely awful.

In NY a bodega was a small supermarket - not a convenience store at all, since they focused on fresh veggies. Often they sold meat too, and stuff like rice in 5 lb. sacks.
But anyone calling a 7-11 a bodega is an idiot.

I agree. I saw somebody on some forum say that Cruz cracked a sly smile during the Tucker interview, and their backformation was that Cruz was going to grill the DOJ stooge and he couldn't disclose to Tucker that he was, yet.
That's possible, I guess.
Trump had a way of directing press coverage through outrage, the press would shine their light in opprobrium and the real details that they had been trying to ignore would slip out and filter through.
I'm not saying that's what Cruz was doing, I'm just open to the possibility. Maybe our side is getting smart and this was a setup between Tucker and Cruz.
Now that wouldn't be moral, but it might be effective. To get Kinginzer to start talking about his "old buddy Ray".
