Alleged MAGA Republican booted from House Judiciary hearing

An alleged New York man "too-good-to-be-true" MAGA Republican on Monday attended the House Judiciary hearing in Manhattan called "Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan." 

The man began shouting and protesting against Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and had to be removed out of the House Judiciary Committee field hearing called by Republicans.

The hearing focused on Bragg's "pro-crime." and "anti-victim" policies.

The feeling one might get from watching the incident by the Bernie Sanders look-alike protester seems reminiscent of the January 6 Capitol Hill incursion in which the covert presence of FBI agents acted as a catalyst to what appeared to be an incursion in which an unarmed female US military veteran, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by US Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd. Yes, that's a long sentence; read it slowly.

Bragg's office, which is currently prosecuting Former President Donald J. Trump for allegedly falsifying business records, and other political allies, have blasted the hearing as a political stunt, similar to the political stunt of prosecuting a former President hated by the Left.

One man claiming to be a New Yorker slammed Bragg and Democrats for "they’re refusal to protect everyday New Yorkers."

I think he is a leftist plant. Time will tell, but conservatives don't normally act this way. I could be wrong but time will tell.

"It’s disgraceful what you guys do," the so-called MAGA dude said. "You are utterly disgraceful. Ralph Nader, you’re a disgrace to this country. I love you, Jim Jordan!"

The man, an obvious idiot, presumably meant to call out Rep. Jerry Nadler, a bumbling New York Democrat and ranking member of the committee, who was at Monday's hearing and fully continent.

Michael Byrd, the cop who killed Ashli Babbitt, was cleared without being interviewed

Real Clear Investigations released a new report on Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the killer of Ashli Babbitt on the Jan. 6 Capitol riots that killed nobody but Ashli Babbitt.

Ms. Babbitt was an Air Force veteran and was unarmed and among those who illegally entered the U.S. Capitol that day. She was killed when Byrd fired into the approaching mob.

The new report, by RCI on Tuesday, claims that Byrd was cleared of all wrongdoing without ever having been interviewed by investigators. Not one interview after he shot and killed an unarmed woman. Let that sink it because if it's true, the corruption in federal law enforcement is even worse than we already know.

The RCI cited “several sources and documents” it said it had reviewed and Terry Roberts, the Babbitt family attorney, also confirmed their findings.

“He didn’t provide any statement to investigators and they didn’t push him to make a statement,” Roberts said. “It’s astonishing how skimpy his investigative file is.”

Among the documents reviewed by RCI was a January 2021 internal affairs report that showed Byrd “declined to provide a statement.” In other words, Byrd refused to sing and the feds didn't seem to care.

A Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman confirmed the story as well, noting that Byrd had refused to cooperate with both the department’s internal affairs unit and the FBI.

“MPD did not formally interview Lt. Byrd,” said Kristen Metzger, deputy communications director for the MPD. She added that “He didn’t give a statement while under the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation.”

But that didn't matter. Even though Byrd wasn't even interviewed at all, in April, the DOJ announced that no charges would be brought against him.

Then, in August, the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility [apparently an oxymoron[ revealed that there was an internal investigation into the shooting, which found the incompetent cop's actions to have been “lawful and within Department policy.”

This can only mean that it is lawful to shoot an unarmed person without warning who poses no impending threat. Video evidence kind of implies that Byrd is a coward who was frightened and fired his weapon. His luck is that he's Black and the victim is White.

There is no way Byrd should not have been indicted for what he did. How can he honestly justify shooting Babbitt? 

Anyone with a functional cortex knows that if the races of Byrd and Babbitt were reversed, this would have been an entirely different outcome. Justice was not served and that's almost as bad a crime as Byrd's.

Pelosi's conspiracy theorist Lt. Gen, Honore should be disqualified from Capitol security review

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee do not want to allow Speaker Pelosi to appoint Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré to lead the investigation into the Capitol riot that took place on January 6th. 

[H/T Fox News]

Based upon Honoré's "offensive" comments, he appears to be a conspiracy theorist whose thoughts takes precedence over information and facts. This should disqualify him, says the GOP members of the Committee.

In the letter to Pelosi, eight Republicans, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, (R-FL), and Jim Jordan (R-OH), ask for information about the decision-making process in selecting him.

"Although we are grateful for his service to our country, LTG Honoré has made many comments critical of U.S. Capitol Police officers and certain Members of Congress -- statements that call into question the supposed impartiality of his review," they say according to Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"LTG Honoré is entitled to his personal opinions, but we are concerned that his selection will undermine the serious purpose of this review: to develop a fair and clear-eyed assessment of the systematic security and leadership failures concerning the events of January 6," they say all too politely.

Gaetz said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that Honoré's comments "would disqualify him from even a jury pool on these questions and yet he’s in charge of this review."

Some of the unsubstantiated, prejudice things this lunatic said were that USCP officers were "asshats" for having him follow security protocols when he visited the Capitol. Had they not done so, he might have complained the security was too loose; when you prejudge an entity negatively, everything the entity does will be judged negatively.

Honoré also said, without a shred of evidence, that USCP officers "allowed their buddies in" to the building -- and that rioters had help from those inside the force and that 30 - 40% of USCP officers are "Trumpsters." If you recall, Donald Trump was the President of the United States, and even if this claim is true, [and here too, Honoré has not done a survey to determine the accuracy of his claim] this merely indicates Honoré's mindset and should make him ineligible to judge the situation.

"To call these remarks inflammatory is an understatement. These statements are deeply offensive and should be disqualifying for anyone to lead a serious and objective review of the Capitol’s security," the Congress members say.

Pelosi praised Honoré when she announced last month that he would head an investigation into the security situation at the Capitol. She likes him because he hates Trump and his supporters.

"The General is a respected leader with experience dealing with crises," she said on Jan. 15. "House Leadership has worked with General Honoré, seen up close and personal his excellent leadership at the time of Katrina, particularly Mr. Clyburn was the head of our Katrina task force. So, he and I and others know full well how fortunate we are that the General has accepted, is willing to do this."

Honoré had already raised concern about his suitability after comments aimed at Republicans. He described Sen. Josh Hawley, (R-MO), as "downright crazy" and said he should be "run out of DC," leading Hawley to conclude Honoré was unsuitable [and highly biased].

"This is somebody who has no business, no business, leading a security review," he told Carlson.

Honoré apparently hates Republicans and this has blinded him to the point where he cannot make rationale decisions. He said that USCP should put Rep. Lauren Boebert's "stupid ass on the no-fly list." What kind of "leader" talks like that? 

The GOP lawmakers asked Pelosi if she knew of Honoré's controversial comments and whether her office asked him to delete statements from his social media.

"The American people and the Congress deserve full and unfettered answers about what happened on January 6 and in the days leading up to it," they write. "We have serious reservations that LTG Honore is the right person to provide those answers."

But when all is said and done, Honoré will probably get the appointment because Democrats want to divide and conquer while pretending they want to unify.

BLM activist inside Capitol bldg claims he was 'documenting' the riots, however . . .

Well, if you had the gut feeling that not all of the rioters who breached the Capitol Building on Wednesday were not all Trump fans, your gut has its own brain. One such guy, John Sullivan, is a BLM activist who once said that he'd like to "rip" Trump out of office, was one of the people in the melee. He claimed the reason he was in the middle of thee rioting was just to "document" it.

"There’s this narrative going around right now that Antifa was the people there causing the riots, causing the tension, they were the only people breaking into the Capitol, and I wanted to be able to tell a part of history and show that that was anything but the case," Sullivan said. He is also the founder of Insurgence USA, based in Utah. [H/T Fox News]

Insurgence USA describes itself as "the revolution." The predictable cause for which the riot is to oppose mostly imaginary racial injustice. The racial injustice that's not so imaginary is the racial injustice toward everyone who is on the right, who they claim are racists. The reason for these claims is due to their lack of a reasonable argument that opposes conservative thought. It's their go-to claim and it's generally baseless as demonstrated by the two term presidency of Barack Obama.

But Insurgence USA needs a reason to fight their version of the "good fight." It's the race card and concomitant and totally unsubstantiated police brutality claims. That is not to say that police brutality doesn't exist, but it is statistically minute, especially when compared to Antifa brutality. In fact, more White people are killed by police than Black or Hispanic annually.

The group began protesting racial injustice in policing last year following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. Floyd, who was once a star athlete at 6'7" spent five years in prison. In fact, between 1997 and 2005, he had been arrested several times on drug charges and spent months in jail. 

In August 2007, he was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon whereby he and five other men barged into a pregnant woman's apartment and Floyd stuck a gun in her abdomen while his cohorts looked for things to steal. He pleaded guilty in 2009 after which he served the aforementioned five years in prison and was released when he was almost 40.

So this past August, John Sullivan was in the media where he was seen speaking to a small crowd at a Washington, D.C. intersection, pointing to the White House and making bold, inflammatory remarks: "We ... about to burn this s**t down," he said. "We gotta ... rip Trump right out of that office right there," he continued, adding, "We ain't about ... waiting until the next election." He then sounded like Bernie Sanders as he led the crowd in a chant of, "It's time for revolution." 

Video of Sullivan's remarks, which include disgusting graphic language, can be found here.

"As far as being able to understand who is in the crowd, based on being around protests a lot … I didn’t see any people who were originally at BLM protests," Sullivan said.

He stated that he was standing near Ashli Babbitt, the rioter who was shot and killed in the Capitol, and video appears to support his claim.

Sullivan told Fox News he regularly attends protests to record what’s going on, because otherwise, he would end up watching daytime TV and tolerating ads for a truck driving school and anti-gas commercials.

The Insurgence USA group’s website advertised an event called "Kick These Fascists out of DC" on Wednesday about the same time as a pro-Trump rally near the National Mall.
