Well, I won’t hold my breath for that moment. I’ve talked to the voters who maintain - with all available evidence indicating that the story, from beginning to end, was a lie - that the protest was one of a rabid, racist mob, viciously attacking police, staff, and Congresspeople with guns, knives, and blunt instruments, leading to MULTIPLE people killed.
Just like 9/11, the Left says - and they are wrong.
Well, I do agree with that multiple people killed part. Unfortunately, it seems that the only people killed were protesters. By cops. With NO charges.
The police that died were NOT attacked with fire extinguishers, as was reported by the Left. One of them died of natural causes, as reported by NBC News (I think all will agree that the source is NOT a racist right-wing media site).
Washington's chief medical examiner has determined that U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes the day after the riot on Jan. 6 after he suffered two strokes. The autopsy revealed that Sicknick, 42, said the strokes at the base of the brain stem were caused by a blood clot, Chief Medical Examiner Francisco Diaz said.
Sad that he died so young, but there is NO evidence that any protester had anything to do with the blood clot. There MAY have been some person - not necessarily a protester - that caused that clot (Clots MAY, and MAY NOT, be caused by direct contact - some of them are caused by other factors, including sedentary lifestyle, old sports injury, and tendency to clot).
The Washington Post reported on April 19 that District of Columbia Chief Medical Examiner Francisco J. Diaz found that Sicknick suffered two strokes nearly eight hours after being sprayed with a chemical irritant during the riot. Diaz told the Post that Sicknick died of natural causes, but “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”
Who would have sprayed that ‘chemical irritant’? My guess is the police. They don’t SAY that, but there are no charges of protesters using mace or other irritants.
Multiple people in that crowd have been shown - on video - to be directing the major part of that violence that did occur. Only a handful were even arrested, let alone charged - despite their faces being clearly shown on camera, and their words recorded as inciting all aggressive activity that occurred. Ray Epps was one of the most vocal - and, he is STILL unindicted, at large, and free to carry on his life.
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.
Many of the most destructive people in the Capitol group were - conveniently - masked. That has led to their actions being ignored by prosecutors (even though some of them were later identified).
Both Ray Epps and John Sullivan - caught on camera directing and leading others - are widely considered to be FBI plants. John Sullivan is a former BLM AND AntiFa member, who participated in multiple actions of those groups. Neither of them were ever charged, although evidence against them is clearly shown in recorded video.
The most unlikely participants were those that scaled the building, and forced their way in.
Have you SEEN the size, and age, of most of the crowd? They are neither young, nor agile. There is NO WAY that they could have managed that feat. Yet, many have been charged as though they were physically mounting the attack, rather than quietly moving amidst ropes, often at the invitation of the Capitol police. Some accepted plea deals for FELONY PARADING!
How convenient! A bullshit charge, that usually carries a misdemeanor penalty, results in a felony conviction that usually bars recipients from voting in the future. Nice way to reduce the Trump vote!
What about the other officers that died? Their deaths were declared to be “In the line of duty”.
Who DID die that day?
Ashlie Babbitt - the vet who was climbing through a broken window at the time that a Capitol Police officer shot her. It was Michael Byrd who fired the shot.
Lt. Byrd had previously had been investigated for carelessly leaving his gun in a public restroom.
Rosanne Boyland - officially of an amphetamine overdose (she was a former addict). The crush of escaping crowds has also been suggested as a contributing factor. The video of a female officer apparently beating Boyland to death is in dispute. I would be inclined to question the footage, but for one thing.
The original, unedited footage of the incident has NEVER been released, neither bodycam video, nor from the multiple cameras that surround the building. If the death was NOT from police action, why not post it online?
Kevin Greeson - heart attack, a natural death.
Benjamin Phillips - heart attack, a natural death. This occurred the day after, and there was no evidence that he had been in the Capitol group that entered the building.
So, who IS subverting the Constitution and shredding all pretence of lawful conduct?
