Also: "Brian Sicknick's death was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch, the USCP, and the FBI.[7] On March 14, Julian Khater and George Tanios were arrested for assaulting Sicknick with a chemical spray and for other charges.[11] ...

Popular Post SunnyinBangrak Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 2 hours ago, Phoenix Rising said: 'Bulls---': GOP senators rebuke Tucker Carlson for downplaying Jan. 6 as 'mostly peaceful' "At a GOP leadership news conference, McConnell, R-Ky., said he wanted to align himself with the letter sent to the U.S. Capitol Police force by Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger, who denounced Carlson for spreading “offensive and misleading conclusions” about the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, including a “disturbing accusation” that Officer Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with the riot. "I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief and the Capitol Police about what happened on Jan. 6," McConnell said as he held up a copy of the letter. "It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.”" Quote "Police Chief Thomas Manger, who denounced Carlson for spreading “offensive and misleading conclusions” about the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, including a “disturbing accusation” that Officer Brian Sicknick’s death had nothing to do with the riot." Did this police chief find the false narrative that MAGA rioters bashed him over the head with a fire extinguisher offensive and misleading one wonders? A version of events that proved most fortuitous and that some find hard to let go of. "While chief medical examiner Francisco Diaz said that the events of Jan. 6 "played a role in his condition" that resulted in Sicknick's death, the findings are still a bold departure from claims reported by The New York Times back in January that the officer had been "struck with a fire extinguisher" by the pro-Trump rioters.

Hopefully the exploits of this pair will encourage other judges to keep other insurrectionists locked up pending the completion of their court cases. 2 Capitol riot defendants accused of violently attacking Capitol Police officers tampered with their ankle monitors and are now on the run, FBI says "A federal judge issued warrants for the arrest of two January 6 Capitol riot defendants who went missing on Monday. Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson III are both accused of several charges, including assaulting Capitol officers, theft of government property, entry to restricted grounds, and violent and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, court documents show. Joe Boland, a supervisory special agent with the FBI's Lakeland, Florida office, said the bureau learned Pollock and Hutchinson had "tampered with or removed" the ankle monitors used to track them and notified the court after they couldn't locate either of them, the Associated Press reported on Monday."
