Never Questioned: Capitol Guard Who K**led Babbitt
Jan 15, 2022 11:43:21 #
In all the media hoopla over the “s*******s conspiracy” charges relating to J****** 6th, let’s not forget that the only person k**led in the Capitol that day was unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt, who was shot at point blank range by C*****l P****e Lt. Michael Byrd. Byrd seems to think he’s a hero for doing this, and indeed, he was cleared of any wrongdoing. I’m sure that was after extensive investigations, right? Right?...

Actually, RealClearInvestigations.com reports that the friendly interview Byrd gave to NBC may be as close to being questioned about his actions as he’s ever gotten. They found that Byrd did not cooperate with internal affairs or FBI agents, he refused to give a statement and wasn’t pushed to make one, and he was never even questioned before it was decided that his actions were “lawful and within department policy.”
The attorney for Babbitt’s family said, “It’s astonishing how skimpy his investigative file is,” and that this kid glove treatment raises suspicions that the investigation was a “whitewash.”
I can’t help wondering whether this would have been swept under the rug so quickly if a local cop outside of DC had shot down an unarmed B*M protester. Let’s hope that next year, when Republicans are in charge of Congress, that there will finally be a real investigation not only of this tragic shooting, but of the corruption and politicization of the entire “Justice” Department. I’d really like to be able to stop putting those quotation marks around the word “Justice.”
