Government watchdog finds failings, but no Trump influence, in clearing of Lafayette Square
By Rebecca Beitsch and Rachel Frazin - 06/09/21 01:33 PM EDT

A government watchdog has determined the law enforcement agencies responsible for clearing protesters gathered outside the White House last summer failed to fully warn the crowd to disperse while fractured radio communications led officers to use chemical irritants that had not been authorized.

The report from the Department of the Interior’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is the first to evaluate the June 1 clearing of protesters shortly before former President Trump crossed Lafayette Square for a photo-op at a nearby church with a Bible in hand.

While the event spurred accusations from lawmakers and others that the protesters were cleared to enable Trump’s passage to the church, the report ultimately determined that Trump’s plans to visit the park did not influence the officers' decision to clear it.

The OIG found that while law enforcement learned on the day of the incident that Trump might visit, U.S. Park Police (USPP), the lead agency overseeing Lafayette Square, had already planned to clear the park in order to install additional fencing around the White House.

Let's blame the President and not the idiots that tore down the barricades or partially burned the church!  888mouth
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Well, that's too bad, in a way, since Trump dearly wanted to do something.

But Trump tried to obey the laws and the Constitution, otherwise Aunty Fa Portland would have been summarily executed for what they did.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

It took a bleeping year to figure this out? Should have taken less than a month, but Orange Man BAD!
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

CNN's Jim Acosta Reacts Badly to Lafayette Park Report, and We're About to Make His Day Even Worse

As we anticipated, the heartbreak over the just-released Inspector General’s detailed report on the events that took place on June 1, 2020 at Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C. is very real for CNN’s Jim Acosta. And we’re about to make his day much worse – without apology.

To quickly recap before we get into Acosta’s reaction, the key finding from IG Mark Lee Greenblatt’s department that caused journalist tears to flow was the one where then-President Trump and his Attorney General Bill Barr were vindicated of media-driven allegations about how they supposedly used federal resources to order protesters “tear-gassed” in order to clear a path for a “photo op” of Trump walking from the White House to the historic St. John’s church, which rioters had set on fire the night before:

Golly I remember NT posters on this very site propagating this bullsh*t story.

The 'Trump self destructed' meme will continue on, all the same. No matter how many past smears are disproven.
