It is truly disgusting to see how the government is acting currently and witnessing their utter hypocrisy seeking justice.
Ashli Babbitt was MURDERED last January 6, and yes I say murdered and there is not one thing being done to bring her murderer to justice.
Babbitt was gunned down by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd. The details of her shooting are a mystery; as Capitol police do not have to release details as other police agencies do.
Though one thing we do know is that Byrd has never been charged with the crime of shooting Babbitt and that has many people disgusted.
Now, additional details on the so-called “investigation” have come to light, thanks to investigative journalist Paul Sperry, and what he’s uncovered will infuriate you even more.
Sperry wrote a new piece on the Michael Byrd case, and in it, he reveals some very disturbing details about that phony investigation into the shooting — and when you see how this case was handled, I have a feeling you’ll be shocked and angry.

Here’ what Sperry wrote in his Real Clear Politics piece:
When U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd went on “NBC Nightly News” to tell his side of shooting and killing unarmed Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt, he made a point to note he’d been investigated by several agencies and exonerated for his actions that day.
“There’s an investigative process [and] I was cleared by the DOJ [Department of Justice], and FBI and [the D.C.] Metropolitan Police,” he told NBC News anchor Lester Holt in August, adding that the Capitol Police also cleared him of wrongdoing and decided not to discipline or demote him for the shooting.
Byrd then answered a series of questions by Holt about the shooting, but what he told the friendly journalist, he likely never told investigators. That’s because he refused to answer their questions, according to several sources and documents reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.
In fact, investigators cleared Byrd of wrongdoing in the shooting without actually interviewing him about the shooting or threatening him with punishment if he did not cooperate with their criminal investigation.
“He didn’t provide any statement to [criminal] investigators and they didn’t push him to make a statement,” Babbitt family attorney Terry Roberts said in an RCI interview. “It’s astonishing how skimpy his investigative file is.”
Roberts, who has spoken with the D.C. MPD detective assigned to the case, said the kid-glove treatment of Byrd raises suspicions the investigation was a “whitewash.”
The lawyer’s account appears to be backed up by a January 2021 internal affairs report, which notes Byrd “declined to provide a statement,” D.C. MPD documents show.
Asked about it, a D.C. MPD spokeswoman confirmed that Byrd did not cooperate with internal affairs agents or FBI agents, who jointly investigated what was one of the most high-profile officer-involved shooting cases in U.S. history.
“MPD did not formally interview Lt. Byrd,” deputy D.C. MPD communications director Kristen Metzger said. And, “He didn’t give a statement while under the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation.”
After Byrd declined to cooperate with D.C MPD Internal Affairs Division’s investigation, which was led by Det. John Hendrick, his case eventually was turned over to the USCP for a final administrative review of whether or not his actions conformed with department policies and training.
Still, USCP concluded in August that “the officer’s conduct was lawful and within department policy.” The agency launched its administrative investigation after the criminal investigation was closed.

They never even interviewed him and he refused to cooperate.
That’s how little they cared about Ashli or justice.
Who had Michael’s back? Who was watching out for him?
Nancy Pelosi?
The funny thing is that most people are saying, “Well, once the GOP takes back the House they will investigate.”
Would they?
Would they push for justice for Babbitt or will they just continue to hold the status quo to keep themselves in good graces with the leftist mob?
At this point, I don’t know but I certainly hope that Babbitt’s family does see some justice for their family members’ needless death in this life.
What do you think?
In the famous duel between Hamilton and Burr in the 18th. century, Hamilton fired high. If Burr was a gentleman he would also have fired high. If Michael Byrd was a gentleman and a real cop he would have fired high as in a warning shot.
Again. The NEGRO, is never held responsible for murdering a WHITE person. We ALL see/read/hear , how the self hating liberal Democrat Whites and coward black LIES matter get away with this all the time.
This outrageous cover job stinks to high heaven – and reminds me of the shooting of the poor young woman who drove her car near the White House and was shot to death -completly unarmed- by the same gunslingers. Don’t these butchers have to follow the rules like the rest of us? When is this wild bunch going to be investigated – especially those covering for them??
I wonder if her family can sue him in civil court.
It breaks my heart to see the differences in the way the cases of George Floyd and Ashli Babbitt were handled. Chauvin gets solitary confinement for 20 years and Byrd goes on about his life. Granted, the cases are different, but really not so much. Both deaths at the hands of law enforcement were unnecessary. Chauvin got way more punishment than he deserved and Byrd got absolutely nothing. Not a reprimand, demotion, nothing.
Byrd is guilty Of murder. He is a sloppy Capitol Rent a Cop! He left his loaded gun in a Capitol bathroom. He needs to be tried, convicted and placed in prison to for his crime. He never should be allowed to have a gun. He is trigger happy.
I wonder that as well! -Sassy Liberty
This MURDER was not properly INVESTIGATED and it seems all the AGENCIES that should have investigated it, gave him a complete pass and just “SWEPT THE MURDER OF THIS WOMAN VETERAN, ASHLI BABBITT UNDER THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT TABLE”…..WE THE LEGAL, PATRIOTIC PEOPLE SHOULD BE MARCHING IN THE STREET AND DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR ASHLI BABBIT WHO WAS UNARMED, NOT POSING A THREAT BUT WAS SHOT DOWN IN COLD BLOOD BY THIS SO-CALLED CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER, IN OTHER WORDS HE “MURDERED” HER FOR NO REASON!
Hang em all. Every one of these MARXIST DEMORAT COCKROACHES.
Crooked, crooks always cover for one another!
Think about it. If Ashli would have been black and Byrd white, do you think the investigation would have been held in the same manner? I don’t think so. He would have gone to jail just to appease all blacks.
What a scumbag.
I do not see any comment above that I do not agree with. None!
And they wonder why we have no trust in our government!! I’m sure the “investigation “ was done by specially selected committee members (Pelosi assigned). This whole Jan 6 investigation is taking place to put fear into conservatives and train the liberal sheep to fear the conservatives. Everyone with any sense knows the Jan 6 protest was instigated by the liberals to become a riot. I just pray that when the conservatives regain majority they will give Bobbits family justice.
How true you are ! But this is Demonrats way of showing there future force on patriots!!!
Wrongful Death!!!! ?
unarmed
correct
Can’t someone place this Michael Byrd under citizen’s arrest? Or are Capitol police immune to citizen’s arrest? I would do that in a cold minute. Why don’t a group of guys like the security officers at Fox News place this guy under citizen’s arrest?
If he was a real cop, he would not have shot an UNARMED (no weapon in sight), woman veteran. Besides, the police always tell you, if a person is going through a broken window, make sure they are completely through before shooting them.
Say her name. Ashli Babbitt
EXACTLY!!!
I agree. Floyd was a criminal and was killed by a bad cop but the results of that incident was a creation of the Democrat party to begin their decimation of America.
This should further show the absolute power that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has over every thing that happens in her tight little kingdom. She has complete and total control over the Capitol Building and all of its staff, including the Capitol Police and the D.C. Police, if they are on the Capitol
Campus. There is nothing about her control over the Metropolitan DC Police but it is obvious given the treatment of the political prisoners.
Byrd has no business with a badge and gun. Guys like him give law enforcement a bad name. He is guilty of murder and should be tried for murder. That piece of crap killed an innocent woman. The damned democrat trash running this country should be drug out of Washington and ass kicked back where they cam from. ALL of the sorry crooked bastards! It is crap like this that caused the march of Jan. 6 to take place ! It was a peaceful march that was hijacked by BLM, ANTIFA and the damned democrats! Pelosi knew exactly what was planned and kept the National Guard out of it and didn’t answer law enforcement’s request for additional help. BLM and ANTIFA are terrorist groups that should be dealt with same as what was done to the Klan! Get rid of the sons-of-bitches!
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
