Congress just put Ashli Babbitt’s killer on notice… he’s got 1 week…

November 26, 2024 (2 hours ago)

Is the jig finally up for dirtbag Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police Captain who many believe murdered unarmed Ashli Babbit in cold blood on January 6?

This dirty cop, who has a history of disciplinary issues, including weapons infractions, was actually promoted after he shot and killed an unarmed female vet—the ultimate DEI move from the left.

Politico:

    In the aftermath, the Department of Justice conducted an investigation and concluded that Byrd would not face criminal charges, determining that his actions were justified under the circumstances. In August 2021, Byrd publicly identified himself and discussed the incident, expressing that he believed his actions saved lives that day.

    In August 2023, Byrd was promoted to the rank of captain within the U.S. Capitol Police, recognizing his service and actions during the January 6 events.

Michael thinks he saved “countless” lives that day by killing young Ashli.

He doesn't have 1 week, the DOJ has a week to produce information. From there, it'll be a lot of Kabuki Theatre and blustering.

I'll wager a nickel that the POS doesn't see a day behind bars...

His firing his weapon that day did not meet the criteria established for him to follow.  But we are talking Washington, DC, where the rules are different for a black man. 

I do not expect prison time, but I do expect him to be terminated.  He murdered Babbitt, plain and simple.

I’m good with him being terminated instead of prison time you meant terminated like fired

BREAKING: The US Capitol cop Byrd who fatally shot unarmed Trump demonstrator Ashli Babbitt had so many misconduct infractions that he was placed on a secret blacklist known as "the Lewis list" maintained by the US Attorney in D.C.  Officers on the list cannot testify in trials.

Capitol Police union boss decries special treatment for officer who killed unarmed J6 protester

The union's statements come after reports that the officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt received special financial support from police leadership under pressure from Democrats.

Steven Richards  |  December 5, 2024  |  11:00pm

he U.S. Capitol Police union leader is calling out the department for providing special financial and other benefits to Capt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot Jan. 6 protestor Ashli Babbitt, that were not given to fellow officers.

“What a slap in the face to the rank and file officers of the USCP, especially all who were on duty on J6,” U.S. Capitol Police union Chairman Gus Papathanasiou said in a statement Thursday to Just the News.

Just the News reported Wednesday that House Democratic leadership pressured the Capitol Police to provide financial and other assistance to then-Lt. Michael Byrd after the shooting that included a $37,000 retention bonus, help with $160,000 in private fundraising, housing, and a promotion to captain.

This assistance far surpassed the support given to other officers who were serving on the Capitol grounds that day.

Papathanasiou demanded that Byrd be forced to repay the amounts he was given that exceeded bonuses for other officers who served on Jan. 6, 2021, or that the department provide the same benefits to all.

"Not sure what makes Mike Byrd so special that he thinks he needed to be 'taken care of' by the Department. USCP should give every officer a $37k bonus or have Mike Byrd pay it all back," the union boss said.  .  .  .

Democrats pressed Capitol Police to show favoritism to officer who killed J6 protestor, memos show

The committee’s investigation uncovered evidence that the Capitol Police went to extraordinary lengths to promote Byrd and provide him financial support not received by other officers on duty on Jan. 6.

John Solomon and Steven Richards  |  December 4, 2024  |  11:04pm

House Democrats pressured U.S. Capitol Police to provide special financial assistance and even a promotion to the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer and charitable assistance not provided to other officers, according to internal emails reviewed by Just the News.

"He is very upset about how he is being treated. He wants us to figure this out and now," a top congressional aide to then-House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, wrote to Capitol Police in November 2021 pressing for more assistance to Lt. Michael Byrd after he killed Babbitt.

The records show that pressure also came from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's staff and from then-Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, causing Capitol Police to find any solution they could to make Byrd and Democrats happy. Despite the extraordinary assistance, Byrd expressed dissatisfaction and continued to insist he deserved more, to the chagrin of Capitol Police officials, according to records assembled by Congress.  .  .  .
