January 6 Committee + Jan 6 issues

 Below current items re the produced-for-tv January 6 Committee Hearing, see items re a bit of what the January 6 Committee is not looking at. For instance, they are not mentioning women who were a threat in no way but were brutally beaten and/or killed by the Capitol Police, who have not been held accountable.

Pelosi's Court: How The Jan. 6 Committee Undermined Its Own Legitimacy

                                                              image

     Pelosi decided to forego even the pretense of a bipartisan and full inquiry....

     In 1924, Lord Gordon Hewart famously declared, “Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.” The lord chief justice of England, he believed that even a small allegation of possible bias by a court clerk meant justice was not seen to be done and, thus, was not done.

     Lord Hewart’s quote came to mind while watching the opening night of the House’s Jan. 6 select committee public hearings. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) decided a year ago to break from tradition and blocked two Republican committee members selected by GOP leaders. In response, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pulled his other committee nominees, and Pelosi then seated two staunchly anti-Trump Republicans — Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyoming) and Adam Kinzinger (Illinois).

     Congress has a long history of bipartisan investigatory and select committees.Many were formed during deep political rifts — yet, for 230 years, Congress maintained the need for bipartisan membership. That was the case with the Watergate committees, the House Committee on Assassinations, the Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program, the House Select Committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions and other investigations. It would have been easy to stack the decks and limit the members by party on each of those committees, but past congressional leaders understood that the credibility of such investigations required balance, including opposing views.

     Pelosi’s decision to gut that process was something of a signature muscle play. ….

      The Jan. 6 committee was stripped of any pretense. It was as subtle a political move as Pelosi’s ripping up President Trump’s State of the Union speech. Asked what she hoped to achieve from the committee on the first day of hearings, Pelosi tellingly referred to it as a “narrative.” It is the difference between seeing and simulating justice.

     According to The New York Times, that narrative is meant to “recast the midterm message” and “give [Democrats] a platform for making a broader case about why they deserve to stay in power.” It was packaged with the help of a high-powered media figure brought in to help stage the event. Much of the media touted how the hearings would be “must-see TV” and would force voters “not to look away” from Trump’s “coup.” 

     Countervailing evidence was edited out.

     Thus, Trump was shown calling for the protesters to “march” on the Capitol — but not his additional words to do so “peacefully.”

     Such one-sided accounts rob these proceedings of a sense of authenticity and authority.

However, they deliver precisely what Pelosi demands: politics unburdened by process. Ironically, it is the very same dismissal of process and principle that is often attributed to Trump. ….

     Four days before the riot, records indicate the Capitol allegedly was asked if it wanted to request National Guard troops but declined. Yet The Washington Post and PolitiFact have insisted this is false. It would be useful to get the full story on what decisions were made — but House leaders appear to have curtailed inquiries into the failure to properly staff or equip officers at the scene, to erect fencing, or to call for the National Guard after the riot erupted. ….

     But this is Speaker Pelosi’s — not Lord Hewart’s — “court,” where the only thing “manifestly and undoubtedly” guaranteed is politics, without the pretense of principle.

"Our Country Is In A Nosedive" - Trump Issues 12-Page Rebuttal Of "Sham" Jan6 Committee Investigation

     "Rather than solving problems, Democrats are rehashing history in hopes of changing the narrative,"  [-Asked what she hoped to achieve from the committee on the first day of hearings, Pelosi actually referred to it as a narrative. -Shivani]

     “Our nation is SUFFERING. Our economy is in the gutter. Inflation is rampant. Gas prices have reached an all-time high. Ships are unable to unload cargo. Families cannot get needed baby formula. We are an embarrassment around the world."

     Seventeen months after the events of January 6th, Democrats are unable to offer solutions,” Trump said in a statement released through his Save America PAC. “They are desperate to change the narrative of a failing nation, without even making mention of the havoc and death caused by the Radical Left just months earlier. Make no mistake, they control the government. They own this disaster. They are hoping that these hearings will somehow alter their failing prospects.”

Capitol Police Chief Debunks J6 Committee Conspiracy Theory

     Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger has debunked a Democrat allegation that a GOP lawmaker, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), ran a reconnaissance mission inside the Capitol one day before the riot.

     "There is no evidence that Representative Loudermilk entered the U.S. Capitol with this group on January 5, 2021," Manger wrote in a Monday letter to Rep. Rodbey Davis (R-IL), ranking Republican on the House Administration Committee, after reviewing security footage of Loudermilk giving people a tour of congressional office buildings. "We train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance or reconnaissance, and we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.”

     "All I can think of is this is a Soviet-style propaganda trial, like a show trial," Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., who spent time working in Communist Yugoslavia earlier in her career, told Just the News. "They put this tape together using propaganda, selected words and clauses cut and pasted to smear the people they want to smear and to get the outcome."

      Rep, Rodney Davis, the Illinois Republican who pressed Capitol Police to review the evidence and clear Loudermilk, said Democrats who besmirched his colleague's name need to face accountability before the House Ethics Committee. 

     "The Democrats need to be ashamed of themselves," Davis told the "Just the News, Not Noise" television show Monday night. "This is what we knew all along. We knew that there was no Republican who led anybody who breached the Capitol on a reconnaissance tour, leading up to January 6," said Davis. "I had my team go through the tapes back in January to verify that because one of my colleagues, Mikie Sherrill, she started this rumor that somehow Republicans were taking people on reconnaissance tours. She said she used her military training to recognize this. Well, you know what, there is no evidence that that's ever happened."

     Former Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, who played a role unraveling the Russia collusion narrative, said Democrats have reached the political limits of the proverbial boy-cry-wolf tale, and it is time for their enablers in the mainstream media to push back. Some of the biggest names in media reported the Loudermilk allegations when they surfaced last month. -JTN

     "I'm wondering how many of these political writers — The New York Times Washington Post, all these folks — are actually lining up to give the retractions," Collins told Just the News. "...Let's just be honest. They buy any narrative they can to impugn conservative congressmen, to malign Donald Trump, to make this event that they're trying to pin basically on the conservative movement. And they're willing to destroy lives, you know, really to do it without actually investigating, without reporting."

     Per Manger's letter: "At no time did the group appear in any tunnels that would have led them to the U.S. Capitol," adding "In addition, the tunnels leading to the U.S. Capitol were posted with USCP officers and admittance to the U.S. Capitol without a Member of Congress was not permitted on January 5, 2021." ////

     Meanwhile on the topic of conspiracy theories (facts?), American Thinker's Ned Cosby asks: "Where's Ray Epps?"

     In one video of Ray Epps taken on the evening of January 5, 2021, Ray is seen wearing a red MAGA baseball cap and exhorting protestors to “Go into the Capitol.” During the span of Jan 5-6, 2021, Epps can be seen in several locations between the White House and the Capitol, urging people to enter the People’s House. 

     The Agency (FBI and DOJ) has disavowed any knowledge or connection with Ray Epps. For some time, a picture of Epps appeared on an FBI website soliciting information about those who entered the Capitol on January 6th. That picture went up in a puff of smoke and, now, the FBI refuses to answer questions about him.

     Nancy Pelosi and her minions are crafting their own narrative that they want to be accepted as truth. She does not want her version annoyed by questions of deplorables. That heavy-handed behavior tends to raise red flags in the minds of truth seekers. Why can’t we see all the footage covering the January 6th event in the Capitol? Why is the renowned FBI sitting on what they know about Rancher Ray?

     What a mysterious guy! He lives in Arizona but makes himself famous, herding Trumpers to the Capitol. …. I want to know what brought Ray Epps to Washington from Arizona and who was paying him to stir things up.

Mayor Rudy Guiliani Gives Statement to The Gateway Pundit Regarding the Fraudulent January 6th Hearing. “WHAT ROLE DID ANTIFA AND THE FBI PLAY?”

     “The Jan 6th committee is not trying to seek the truth. Otherwise they would look at what the various states found about election irregularities and illegalities in their states . Watch my latest podcast at RudyGiulianiCS.com to see Antifa’s involvement. As a law abiding citizen my questions are why did Speaker Pelosi refuse National Guard offered by President Trump? Why were some Capitol Officers seen opening doors and inviting people in? What role did the FBI and Antifa play? Did some violent protestors get paid? Why did the committee infer Capitol Officers were killed that day when no officer was killed?  Why are they ignoring the murder of unarmed veteran Ashli Babbit? Who is the peaceful protester outside the Capitol who allegedly was beaten by officers? What is going on with the investigation into the pipe bombs left at RNC and DNC?

     The committee [attacked] Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and played a montage of news interviews of Giuliani after the 2020 election speaking out about election fraud. To discredit his claims, the committee attempted to paint him negatively as “intoxicated” on election night by playing a clip of former Trump advisor Jason Miller

     “This ruthless one sided committee continues to slander the reputations American Citizens with no one on the other side to hit back against their baseless accusations,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “They are tarnishing the jury pool for the J6ers and making it impossible for them to get a fair trial. And now they are attacking Rudy Guiliani, with Jason Miller saying he was intoxicated. Miller offered no proof whatsoever. That is the definition of slander.“

    “The Mayor was definitely intoxicated, but I do not know his level of intoxication when he spoke with the President, for example,” Miller said in a taped deposition.

     According to witnesses, this is not true.

     A successful businessman named Roy Bailey from Texas said he spent most of the evening with Mayor Giuliani on election night November 3, 2020 and he distinctly remembers Giuliani saying no to any alcoholic drinks.

     “Mr Giuliani attended the election night gathering at the White House,” said another fellow guest on election night that wishes to remain unnamed. “He drank Diet Coke and refused another guest’s offer to get him alcohol. The Mayor shook hands with Newt Gingrich and Revered Franklin Graham, to name a few. It is perplexing why Jason Miller would say such an outright lie.”

The Jan 6 Committee Failing Big Time – Even Rachel Maddow Doesn’t Buy It

     The corrupt and unconstitutional Jan 6 committee is in big trouble.  This gang of Pelosi-picked US Representatives are going after President Trump and anyone near him.  Similar to the criminal and corrupt Mueller investigation, the purpose of the committee is to harass and end President Trump’s career in politics.

Jan. 6 Prisoner Who Was Denied Cancer Treatment Now 'In Dire Straits'

     According to the March 10, 2021, criminal complaint, Worrell is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

According to the statement of facts (pdf), the FBI received a tip alleging that Worrell had participated in the breach at the Capitol, but there is no evidence that Worrell entered the Capitol building. ….

     Worrell has a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, and had been managing the illness since he was diagnosed in 2007. He remained at stage one of the illness for several years.

     But Priller said that when Worrell was being held in Charlotte County, he didn’t have access to his medications during that time.

     “They wouldn’t allow the doctor to bring them in,” Priller asserted. “They said I should go get   them, but you can’t do that. You can’t bring medicines into a prison. They won’t let you do that. So our doctor wrote a prescription and sent it to them and they didn’t process it. It took almost the whole three weeks. At that point he was transferred to Oklahoma by Con-Air, I guess, where he stayed for another couple of days, still with no meds.”

     As Priller explained, Worrell was then transferred to Northern Neck, Virginia, where he stayed for another couple of days. It was there that Worrell contracted the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus. At the time, it was already known the facility had many COVID cases.

     Then he was transported to the Correctional Treatment Facility in Washington (pdf), referred to by Priller and many Jan. 6 prisoners as “the gulag.” At that point, Worrell had gone 75 days without his medications.

     “They basically said his physician wasn’t qualified, even though he had been in the practice and treated cancer patients,” Priller charged. “They didn’t feel like he was qualified so he continued on with no meds. They would send him to doctors for visits but they falsified that.”

     As Priller explained, Worrell would be taken from the prison and taken to the university hospital where he would see a doctor. The guards who went with him had paperwork they needed to have filled out, so the doctor would fill out the paperwork and hand it to the guards to return it to the prison where it was given to their medical team, she said.

     “The notes from the doctor were then transcribed by jail personnel, who fabricated things, changed notes switched it up and then gave it to the medical facility in the jail,” Priller asserted. “They kept using the word ‘treatment.’ But the word ‘treatment’ means you’re actually receiving some sort of medicine. He didn’t have any ‘treatment.’ He had a consultation, not a ‘treatment’ for his cancer.”

     Priller said Worrell Chris filed hundreds of grievances through the jail, not just for the lack of    medical care for his cancer and broken hand but for the deplorable conditions he and other Jan. 6 prisoners were forced to live under.

     “They told him if he keeps putting in grievances they were going to put him in the hole,” Priller said. “and they did. They kept him there for 16 days.”

     As described by Liberty Nation, “the hole”—solitary confinement—is where detainees are allegedly sent to be punished for daring to talk to the media about what is really going on inside the prison. Lawyers John Pierce and Steven Metcalf II, who represent several of the defendants, told EpochTV’s “The Nation Speaks” that among the nearly people 500 arrested so far in connection with Jan. 6, more than 50 are being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, in conditions that are “unconstitutional” and violate “every single basic human right.”

     “Anything that they do, or if anybody speaks up on their behalf, all of a sudden, they get targeted even further and then get put into a dangerous, unsanitary condition,” Metcalf said.

     On May 26, 2021, Worrell’s attorney filed a reply to the government’s supplemental brief pursuant to the district court’s order (pdf), stating that “the essential undisputed fact of this case is that Mr. Worrell has cutaneous follicular b-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and has been held by the Government without treatment for his white blood cell cancer for seventy-five days.” It further asserted that the government was intentionally refusing “to issue the prescription authorized by Dr. Rucker, a licensed medical doctor in the state of Florida” and has “failed to issue an alternative medication.”

     On Sept. 24, 2021, Worrell’s attorney John Pierce was replaced by Alex Stavrou.

     As the second attorney, Stavrou noted the numerous prior steps taken to seek conditions of release for Worrell.

     “Of course, from a legal perspective,” Stavrou told The Epoch Times in an exclusive interview, “the government and the courts were extremely reluctant to grant any of those conditions and I think that’s pretty evident by the fact you can see the number of individuals who are still incarcerated in various jails across the country waiting to be sent to the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Virginia or the Washington D.C. jail. Mr. Worrell, of course, received what could be argued as horrendous medical care while at the jail, and there were numerous attempts to thwart that medical care or to thwart the physicians of Mr. Worrell in regards to what treatment was needed.”

     Aside from the cancer, one of the biggest issues Stavrou cited in Worrell’s case was the fact that his hand was broken while in jail and there was a surgical recommendation in writing. While jail officials tried to argue that they never recommended surgery, it had been in writing and the doctor changed his original position, saying he never recommended surgery.

     “Of course, there was no follow-up care for several months,” Stavrou said (pdf). “And at the end of the day, the judge was not overly impressed with the overall care that Mr. Worrell was not receiving and then started to force the issue, which culminated with Chris receiving conditions of release.”

     More importantly, Stavrou said what came out of Worrell’s plight was the exposure of “borderline medical malpractice” and caused the judge to order an inspection regarding the conditions inside the jail.

     “The long and short of it was, not only were these conditions subhuman in the Jan. 6 pods but they were equally and even more so in other parts of the jail,” Stavrou asserted.

     Stavrou described how there was rampant availability of drugs, primarily marijuana. While they knew inmates were buying drugs, they could only be coming in through staff. Jail staff would also allegedly turn off the water in the Jan. 6 pods for days at a time.

     “Without water, you can’t flush a toilet,” Stavrou noted. “You can’t have drinking water. You can’t bathe. So you can imagine the beyond-subhuman conditions when in an 8-by-10 or a 6-by-6 [foot] cell. The smell of unflushed, clogged toilets and the smell of marijuana, fecal matter, urine and unbathed, unshaved gentlemen. These are completely atrocious conditions, especially in a country that supposedly prides itself on human rights.”

     In response to the repeated complaints and reports regarding the deplorable “subhuman” conditions at the Washington jail, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia “directed the Clerk of the Court to transmit the civil contempt order to the Attorney General for appropriate inquiry into potential civil rights violations of January 6 defendants, as exemplified in this case.” (pdf)

     The judge also held the prison warden and the director of the D.C. Department of Corrections in contempt for failure to promptly produce Worrell’s medical records

     On Nov. 3, a statement by the U.S. Marshals Service (pdf) said that their inspection of the Central Treatment Facility (CTF)—where some of the Jan. 6 prisoners are being held—”did not identify conditions that would necessitate the transfer of inmates from that facility.” However, the U.S. Marshals did admit that “based on the results of the unannounced inspection” of the Central Detention Facility, where an additional 400 detainees were held in the custody of the United States Marshals Service (USMS), it was determined “that conditions there do not meet the minimum standards of confinement as prescribed by the Federal Performance-Based Detention Standards. Therefore, working with the Lewisburg Bureau of Prisons, the USMS agreed to transfer those detainees to United States Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.”

Stavrou said he would argue that the conditions and treatment of inmates was being swept under the rug and that the “same kind of nonsense” was still taking place. “While they may have cleaned up the deplorable conditions, now they will do things like claim the internet is down for two to five days so the inmates can’t communicate with loved ones through email messages or there is something wrong with the phones. So now there are gentlemen in the prison who haven’t received release who can’t get in touch with their families.”

     It was further noted in the U.S. Marshals’ statement that “the Lewisburg Bureau of Prisons facility provides attorney and visitor areas, medical care, and video teleconferencing capabilities.”

     When Worrel was released from prison, he hadn’t had any medications for eight months. At that point, he had gone from stage one cancer to stage three.

 “His medical condition has deteriorated dramatically. His teeth, his skin, so many issues that could have been prevented. Chris is in dire straights.”

     As Priller explained, Worrell now needs multiple surgeries on his mouth and teeth due to radiation treatments “and further complications due to the fact he was using a very specific type of toothpaste that he could not get while incarcerated.” The cost is estimated at about $30,000.       Then there is the additional chemotherapy to treat the returning symptoms. For that, he will need at least another $50,000. There is a GiveSendGo account to raise money for Worrell’s treatment.

     In the meantime, Priller said their daily lives are stressed with the constant threat of another visit from the government.

     “The marshals and pretrial services can just show up any time they want and do a search,” Priller said, “and they do, and you have to let them in. They’re looking to violate you, to see what you’ve done wrong. We have parameters, we have to call in every single day. There’s a lot of rules we have to follow. We have to submit a weekly schedule and call in every Tuesday.”

     She described how there was one instance where she was on the phone with the pretrial officer trying to get their schedule filed on time. Shortly after, the pretrial service officer filed an order (pdf) claiming Worrell violated the conditions of his conditions of release “because he heard keystrokes,” Priller said.

     Stavrou filed a response (pdf) explaining that it was Priller typing in an effort to submit the weekly schedule on time while “on the phone simultaneously with Pre-trial services Officer Tad Parks.” Judge Royce Lamberth accepted the explanation (pdf).

     “I’m being watched and monitored and I wasn’t even the one arrested,” Priller said. “So I am basically imprisoned also.”

-The above does not include the flashbang home invasion by the SWAT team, etc., which other protesters were also treated to, some in the middle of the night.   See: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/jan-6-prisoner-who-was-denied-cancer-treatment-now-dire-straits   

Meanwhile….Antifa-BLM Leader Who Was Filmed Inside US Capitol on Jan. 6, Broke a Window, and Organized Antifa Rally Near Capitol That Day – ONLY SPENT ONE DAY IN JAIL

Three defenseless women brutally beaten and/or killed by Capitol Police on January 6

#1 Ashli Babbit

Ashli Babbitt's widower speaks out on January 6 hearing, claims committee ignores her death

     Babbitt, a veteran and unarmed Trump supporter, was fatally shot by Lt. Michael Byrd on the day of the riot as protesters amassed on the other side of a door from the lawman.  Byrd says he saved countless lives. 

     When he was on Tucker Carlson’s show, Ashli’s husband said he was listening to Mayor Giuliani's radio show recently “and when he was getting questioned by them, he straight up asked them, ‘Are you going to talk about Ashli Babbitt?’ -- And he said, everybody just blankly stared at him, looked down and looked like they were following a fly around the room."

     That comment, he said, proved the panel wasn't interested in probing the circumstances of Ashli's death.

     "I truly believe in my heart that they know it's murder, so they can't admit to it. And so they have to just bypass it and blow by it and just act like it never happened."

     Carlson asked whether Babbitt has ever heard from Kinzinger or any other lawmakers. Babbitt said that for the most part he has not heard, noting one exception to be Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who called him with condolences.

     He and Carlson also discussed new video from the day of the riot that they said showed Ashli Babbitt attempting to quell some of the more incensed activists and telling them to calm down and avoid causing property damage.

     Frame-by-frame video evidence analyzed by The Epoch Times paints a vastly different picture of Babbitt’s actions than that portrayed in media accounts. News media regularly painted Babbitt as “violent,” a “rioter,” or an “insurrectionist” who was angrily trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby.

     Video footage shot by John Sullivan, also known as Jayden X, shows that Babbitt tried to stop violence against the Speaker’s Lobby at least four times before she climbed into a broken window and was shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. At one point, she was so distressed at the violence, she jumped up and down in frustration.

     “The reality of it is, Ashli wasn’t a violent person. She was a good person, but they’ve demonized her to become this domestic terrorist that she never has been,” Tayler Hansen, an independent journalist who was feet away from Babbitt when she was shot, told The Epoch Times.

     Hansen said he was walking behind Babbitt in a hallway on the second floor of the Capitol at about 2:40 p.m. She turned right down the Speaker’s Lobby hallway. Hansen followed.

“We didn’t know anything about the building we were in. She turned the corner and I just followed her,” Hansen said. “A big group of people followed us after I followed her. People just kind of emerged on the door. By that time, she was stuck in the corner.

     “She was literally trapped there,” Hansen said.

     “About five minutes prior to her getting shot and killed, all of those officers, Officer Yetter and the other officers in the hall, the MPD cops, they were all joking with her and laughing with her,” Hansen said. “They were having conversations and joking and laughing. Then not even five minutes later, Michael Byrd comes and executes her.”

     Babbitt confronted rioter Zachary Alam, leaning in between him and one of the police officers guarding the doors. Alam turned away from Babbitt and punched a window to the side of the officer’s head. Babbitt winces just before Alam strikes the window with his right hand. He later uses a helmet to smash the tempered glass.

      An audio analysis of video footage taken in the hallway reveals that Babbitt shouted, “Stop! No! Don’t! Wait!” according to her husband, Aaron Babbitt.

#2 Roseanne Boyland

Evidence Suggests Jan. 6 Victim Roseanne Boyland Beaten to Death by Police

     Trump supporter Rosanne Boyland died just outside the tunnel entrance after being punched, clubbed and stomped more than 70 times by DC Metro police officers. The DC medical examiner’s report claimed that Boyland died from overdosing on her prescription drugs that she had been taking for years.

     Boyland’s family [claims] that “the only amphetamine in her body was the Adderall she took every day by prescription.”

     “Fatal Adderall overdoses are rare,” reported Julie Kelly. “Boyland would have had to ingest roughly 25 times her standard dose to die from it.”

     Kelly added that “the family of Rosanne Boyland, one of two female Trump supporters who died at the Capitol on January 6, has hired a lawyer to investigate the suspicious circumstances of her untimely death.”

     “Further,” said Kelly, “both the Medical Examiner’s office and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department continue to refuse to release pertinent information related to her death,” including the full autopsy report and body-camera footage.

Video shows officer striking motionless woman on ground during Capitol riot

by Ryan King, Breaking News Reporter  April 29, 2022 07:30 PM

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/video-shows-officer-striking-motionless-woman-on-ground-during-capitol-riot

     Newly released video appears to show a Washington, D.C., police officer striking Rosanne Boyland with a wooden stick while the Jan. 6 protester was motionless on the ground during the Capitol riot.

     The beating of Boyland, 34, who was one of the four individuals who died after losing consciousness during the siege of Congress, amounts to a felony assault, an expert told the Epoch Times, which obtained previously unreleased body camera footage of the altercation.

"That is a crime, an arrestable offense," Stanley Kephart, CEO of Intelligence Based Integrated Security Systems, told the outlet, noting the officer was in a tough situation. “If you have a trained officer who is angry at what the crowd is doing and the crowd rises up and puts him in a position where he feels his personal safety is compromised, fear begins to take over the anger, and the reflexive response throws the training right out the window.”

     At the time of the alleged strike, Boyland is believed to have collapsed near the mouth of the lower west terrace tunnel at the Capitol. Protesters nearby sought to procure assistance from the officers who were scrambling to contain the riot. Boyland's friend, Justin Winchell, begged for someone to help Boyland. "My God! She’s dead! She’s dead!" he yelled at 4:26 p.m., according to the report.

Cops Clear Officer Who Beat Jan. 6 Protester As She Died

     Apparently, police in Washington, D.C., have investigated the extremely violent and disturbing beating of a Jan. 6 protester who was already on the ground by an officer with a stick and baton, having come to the conclusion that the violence was “objectively reasonable.”.

The conclusion to this investigation comes from the city’s Metropolitan Police Department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs.

       The review has revealed that Officer Lila Morris savagely beat Rosanne Boyland with a steel baton and “what appeared to be a wooden walking stick.”

       This came after the victim was already on the ground and completely unconscious during the time the rioting had erupted at the Capitol building.

     “The Epoch Times said the review was conducted after a Texas man assembled video evidence of the officer beating on an ‘unconscious’ woman,” a report from WND said. “That report described how Boyland, 34, was caught under a pile of protesters who fled when police started firing crowd-control gas.”

     Some individuals who witnessed the incident unfold say the woman lost consciousness and stopped breathing after several minutes of being crushed by other protesters who had fallen.

“As Boyland lay unconscious on the ground, DC Metro Police Officer Lila Morris repeatedly struck her with a steel baton and what appeared to be a wooden walking stick, according to a video recording,” the report went on to say.

     “Her traveling companion, Justin Winchell, reportedly pleaded with police and protesters to provide first aid, and bodycam video ‘shows Winchell’s shock when he saw Morris strike Boyland in the head,'” the report continued.

       Video footage then shows that she appeared to already be dead when the police dragged her from the West Terrace tunnel entrance into the Capitol building, although it took over an hour for the pronouncement to be made, according to the Epoch Times.

     “Protesters repeatedly had performed CPR on her, but they were ‘frustrated in part by the beating and police spraying pepper spray into the faces of those trying to help,'” the report went on to confirm.

     “The medical examiner later claimed Boyland died of an accidental overdose of Adderall, the Times said. Her family reported she’s been under treatment with Adderall for years. But the violence of the attack on an unconscious woman so bothered Gary McBride of Decatur, Texas, he filed a brutality complaint, hunting down video evidence,” the WND report said.

     David K. Augustine, who works for the Metro department stated, “The use of force within this investigation was determined to be objectively reasonable. Officer Morris is still employed with the MPD and not facing criminal charges related to the use of force on January 6.”

     McBride then warned of the dangerous precedent that has now been set because of this statement.

     “It told me right there that it’s OK for them to do what they do. They are doing exactly what they want to do. They don’t care if you know or see. They just showed me that they’re going to go beat somebody and kill them, but they have the power to say, ‘That was objectively reasonable,'” he said.

     The report then stated that the officer involved in the incident raised a “walking stick or a tree branch” over her head and smashed Boyland with it at least four times, until the stick shattered, and she then continued to hit Boyland until “other officers pulled her back.”

Video Proves Capitol Police Savagely Beat Tiny Unarmed Women on January 6

{Article released January 2021)
     At least two of the January 6 protesters who have been charged with “assaulting police officers” last year – protesters who have been held in a Biden gulag for 11 months without a trial – say their actions were self defense. The Department of Justice is still trying to keep more than 14,000 hours of surveillance video from that day out of the courts. They don’t want you to see those videos….

     In the court filing of one January 6er, the Department of Justice asked the judge to not allow the defendant to present “any evidence that he had a reasonable belief that his actions were necessary to defend himself against the immediate use of unlawful force.” Don’t let him present evidence that he acted in self defense? Don’t let him show the video in court which proves that he righteously fought back, when police officers attacked him unprovoked? Really?

What country is this? ….

     Victoria White is from Minnesota, and she traveled to DC on January 6 to engage in a First Amendment-protected protest against the 2020 election. She was arrested on January 6 but released from custody that same night. Three months later, the FBI traveled to her Minnesota home so they could break down her family’s door and snatch her away to the gulag.

     White has been charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, impeding cops conducting “official” duties, obstruction of Congress, parading in a Capitol building, disorderly and disruptive conduct, and trespassing. ….

     As Antifa/FBI agitators near the back of the visible crowd throw things at the officers, the cops viciously beat the people near the tunnel entrance. One of those people was Victoria White, who was trapped there by the crowd. She collapses to the floor and a DC Metro police officer then clubs her in the head with a baton – twice. A second officer pepper sprays her directly in the eyes from about 12 inches away.

     The first officer then slams her in the head eight times with his baton and punches her in the face once, as she’s still down on her knees. She gets back to her feet finally and the cop then punches her in the face six more times. Another officer – with both hands gripping his baton – jams the butt of his baton in her face ten times.

     Cops grab Victoria by the hair at the back of her head at least twice and viciously shake her. She grabs the edge of a police riot shield to pull herself back to her feet, so that she doesn’t get trampled to death. Another cop then grabs her by the arm, jerks her back and forth, and knocks her to the floor.

     Victoria White was punched and clubbed nearly 40 times in the face and head by three police officers in full riot gear. She is never shown striking any of the cops in the video, and yet this tiny, 39-year-old mother of four has been charged with a laundry list of crimes

     Watch the video for yourself to see how the cops treated diminutive, unarmed women on January 6th. Victoria White is trapped in the righthand corner of the tunnel in this video. A DC Metro police officer begins clubbing her with his baton at about the 2:30 mark.  [The video is no longer available with this article, but is still found with the following article.]

Attorney: Video shows police attacking Trump supporter Victoria White on Jan. 6

     The attorney for Jan. 6 defendant Victoria White has released video which he said shows U.S. Capitol Police brutally beating the Trump supporter and then parading her through the Capitol.

     White, 39, from Rochester, Minnesota, has been charged with entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly or disruptive conduct; violent entry and disorderly conduct; impeding or attempting to impede law enforcement; parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building; and obstruction of justice.

     Attorney Joseph McBride said White “was pushed into the tunnel and desperately tried to escape. She never raises a finger to the police and never commits an offensive act. She is simply stuck, and they know it. What do they do? They attack her mercilessly. And there is nothing she can do about it.”

     McBride said White was “hit approximately 35 times over the course of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, while appearing to be begging for mercy the entire time. She is hit with the baton while facing away. She is hit with the baton while facing forward. She is speared and poked with the baton about the face so as to inflict maximum pain. She collapses more than once and is stood up by the officers only to be maced and beaten again. At some point, White-shirt (officer) puts away his baton, not because he is showing mercy because he has a clear avenue to her face. He unloads on the defenseless woman punching her five times in five seconds, directly in the face, with all of his might.”

     Gateway Pundit noted that the Department of Justice’s report on White’s activities at the Capitol on Jan. 6 fails to “describe the brutal pummeling she received at the hands of the Capitol Police officers.”

        No officer on duty that day has been charged with unlawful force.  Three D.C. Metro. one Capitol Police officer reportedly have committed suicide since January 6.  Media mourned them as heroes, but it seems that they saw themselves differently. One protestor despondent over conditions during long imprisonment also committed suicide.
