This will go nowhere just like the other IG probes in Russiagate. Spare me the theatrics.

Will just be utilized to improve their future spying techniques against Republicans.

Water is wet. Democrats are Nazis. The Kardashians are a plague. Etc etc.

So, this is going to go no where, and the USCP are as corrupt as the FBI, which is quite an accomplishment, in terms of being in the bag for the leftists/CCP:

Suspicions that USCP may not be acting appropriately did not arise in a vacuum, however. In November 2021, a USCP officer entered the congressional office of Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Tex., and took a photo of a whiteboard in Nehls' legislative office detailing various legislative plans being considered by Nehls and his staff. In a formal police report filed several days after the incident, the officer wrote that he had been conducting a routine security patrol on Saturday, November 21, and discovered that one of the doors to Nehls' office was open.

The report claimed that the officer entered Nehls' office and found a whiteboard that contained "suspicious writings mentioning body armor[.]" The officer reportedly took a photo of the whiteboard, which was then passed around to analysts within USCP. The following Monday, USCP dispatched three plain-clothed intelligence officers to Nehls' office and questioned a staffer who was there about the whiteboard and the legislative proposals it contained.

Just days before the USCP officer entered Nehls' office and took a picture of the whiteboard Nehls and his staff used to brainstorm and catalog legislative ideas, the Washington Post ran a story about a federal government contractor in rural Texas who defrauded the United States by supplying Chinese-made body armor instead of body armor manufactured in the United States.

"From his home in rural Texas, a would-be defense contractor spun a web of fake companies and testing reports to pass off Chinese-made body armor as American equipment that met rigorous standards for use by the State Department and U.S. law enforcement partners in Latin America," the Washington Post wrote on November 16, 2021. "Tanner Jackson, 32, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Alexandria federal court to one count of wire fraud, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison."

As a reminder, Pelosi isn't handing over any of her communications prior to J6, but has used the USCP to profile/surveille her political enemies as a praetorian guard;

The Capitol Police's treatment of Nehls and his office only fueled the fire of suspicion between lawmakers and USCP leadership that had been smoldering following the January 6 riot. One Republican congressional aide told The Federalist that rather than addressing the massive security and intelligence failures by USCP that allowed the post-election protests to spiral into riots, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi instead doubled down on failure and used the uproar as a pretext for turning the Capitol Police into her own force of political mercenaries.

"Instead of fixing the obvious problems with Capitol security, Pelosi used January 6 as an excuse to create her own personal Praetorian Guard," the aide said.

Comments and recommendations for mandatory background checks on staff by Pelosi's hand-picked Capitol security adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, have also done little to quell suspicions that Pelosi is using the January 6 proceedings to justify increased surveillance of her political enemies in Congress.

"We made recommendations that everyone coming into the Capitol get background checks, the entire congressional staff," Honore told CNN last April. "All of them need to get background checks is what we recommended."

Those recommendations found their way into the formal report compiled by the January 6 response task force that Honore ran, leading several lawmakers to question the USCP denial that it is surveilling and profiling members, staff, and visitors.

"There are way too many unanswered questions," Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., the top Republican on the congressional committee with oversight over the Capitol Police, told The Federalist. "The Capitol Police have a lot of explaining to do."

"My main concern is that the entire Capitol Police board structure is dependent on political leadership to make security decisions," Davis said. "Security decisions are being made based on politics, not on real data."

"I'm not convinced we're in any better security position today than we were on January 6," he added, blaming Pelosi's control of the process for the lack of real progress or improvements.
Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., echoed Davis's concerns about the Capitol's security posture.

"The Capitol is no more prepared today than it was on January 6," Banks, who is heading up an ad hoc committee of Republicans to make security improvement recommendations, told The Federalist. "There is a lot of work to do to restore trust in the leadership of the Capitol Police."
He cited a vote in February 2021 in which more than 90 percent of rank-and-file USCP officers said they had no confidence in their department's leadership.

Payback, as they say, is a *****, and it is coming.

On November 20th, 2021, Capitol Police entered my office without my knowledge and photographed confidential legislative products protected by the Speech and Debate clause enshrined in the Constitution, Article 1 Section 6.

This needs to be transparently investigated, if true, indict her and publicly hold trials. This bull**** has got to stop.

The financial records of leadership in the Capital Police and their family members needs to be investigated. We know that Pelosi trades on insider knowledge and I wouldn't put it past her to pass information to anyone she needs to as a bride.

I grew up around DC, and can say that going back to the early/mid-80's capitol police have always been a bit of a mall cop operation. Obviously pelosi is militarizing/using it for partisan purposes, which is criminal, but believe me they are not in any way an elite group of folks.

Just fyi.

"We made recommendations that everyone coming into the Capitol get background checks, the entire congressional staff," Honore told CNN last April. "All of them need to get background checks is what we recommended."


Genuinely interested in how Eric Swampwell and McConnell are flagged if indeed they undergo a background check.

The good news is Pelosi will be out of the picture as far as leadership goes in less than a year.

Will we ever see a return on our money for IG inspections?

Wake me when they decide to investigate Capitol Police's killing of an unarmed military veteran ...

Not to derail the thread, just curious. Anyone know whatever happened with Imran Awan, the Pakistani IT tech who worked for democrat members of congress?

Foxes guarding the henhouse. Who will investigate the IG?

Has anyone even seen John Durham…………….

Democrats have hinted they are considering filing charges against numerous Republican members of Congress over the faux-insurrection. This is one why they can keep control of Congress no matter what the voters do in November.

Anyone watch the nearly 3 hour PBS special on the "January 6th insurrection"??? At the 40 minute mark, two CP officers speak of the emotional and physical trauma they experienced that day, and they're still suffering a year later. It's unreal how people compare this to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, and remain absolutely silent that the streets of DC (any many metropolitan areas) burned during the Summer of 2020.

Arrests need to be made.

This morning a U.S. Representative complained about one of our vigilant officers.

Chief Manger stands by his officer. Here is why: https://t.co/MfGbdaWWqg pic.twitter.com/oyfTLXhwYB

Oh, well. That explains everything. It's all ok now,

Why should Republicans be surprised because the Democrats have made it clear that the Republicans are the enemy all the while the Republicans stand back with a thumb up their asses and a big grin to pass the time of day with.

If you are treated like an enemy, respond in kind.
