CONGRESSIONAL GESTAPO METASTISIZES OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON: WHAT ARE THEY DOING PRIOR TO THE 2024 ELECTION?

PELOSI-CAPITOL-POLICECan you think of any legitimate reason for the U.S. Capitol Police to maintain regional field offices in San Francisco, California, and Tampa, Florida?

The U.S. Capitol Police is the federal law enforcement agency responsible for protecting the U.S. Capitol Complex, which includes the U.S. Capitol Building, congressional office buildings, and their occupants. Established to ensure the safety and security of Congress members, staff, visitors, and the infrastructure itself, the USCP's primary purpose is to maintain order and enforce federal and local laws within its jurisdiction. The agency operates under the authority of the Capitol Police Board and is subject to congressional oversight, ensuring accountability and adherence to its mission of safeguarding the democratic processes and institutions housed within the Capitol Complex.

While the roles of the House Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader do not include direct operational control over the USCP on a day-to-day basis, their influence was significant in shaping the priorities and policies related to the response to the January 6 riot, including putting politics above protection and declining help from President Trump before the scheduled January 6 rally.

Government buildings outside of Washington, D.C. are protected by the Federal Protective Service, a federal law enforcement agency that provides security and law enforcement services to federally owned and leased buildings.

Outside of those congressional officers who receive statutory or directed full-time protection from the Capitol Police or the U.S. Secret Service, the majority of members coordinate events with local and state police and sometimes use their own personal security.

However, it appears that the duties of the United States Capitol Police were expanded to include “intelligence” (aka spying on the American people) and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided to expand the presence of the United States Capitol Police to include areas outside of Washington, D.C.

USCP-HDRAfter the Attack: The Future of the U.S. Capitol Police
July 6, 2021 -- Press Release

It has been six months since rioters attacked the United States Capitol and our brave police officers and law enforcement partners who fought valiantly to protect elected leaders and the democratic process.

Throughout the last six months, the United States Capitol Police has been working around the clock with our Congressional stakeholders to support our officers, enhance security around the Capitol Complex, and pivot towards an intelligence-based protective agency.

Enhanced Member Protection

The USCP has enhanced our staffing within our Dignitary Protection Division as well as coordinated for enhanced security for Members of Congress outside of the National Capitol Region.   The Department is also in the process of opening Regional Field Offices in California and Florida with additional regions in the near future to investigate threats to Members of Congress.  <Source: USCP>

[ OCS: The press release was signed by Acting USCP Chief Yogananda Pittman, against whom credible allegations exist about her mishandling of intelligence, failing to respond appropriately during the riot, and committing perjury by lying to Congress about her activities.]

Why?

Bottom line…

I can understand Nancy Pelosi trying to establish personal protection in the cesspool of crime, drugs, and feces in San Francisco, but other than spying on former President Donald Trump and primary challenger Governor Ron DeSantis, what is the compelling reason for locating anything in Florida?

We are so screwed.

WHO CARES WHAT DONALD TRUMP, JUNIOR SAYS?

Dtjkg-1

I don’t know about you, but I find the baby-grifter Donald Trump Jr. and his social-climbing wife Kimberly Guilfoyle (aka the ex-Mrs. Gavin Newsom) to be more disingenuous and annoying than simpering Prince Harry and his odious wife, Meghan Markle.

Particularly annoying was Junior’s proclamation that he “would go to great lengths to make sure’ Ms. Haley is not tapped as VP.” It is annoying because, like his father, Junior has a horrible record of choosing business associates and businesses with which to associate. He is loud, brash, and without personal accomplishment that wasn’t facilitated by his name. 

While I am sure he would be a fun guy on a Safari, there is no way I would trust his judgment regarding politics or business. Here is a guy who was born halfway between third base and home, and when he manages to cross home plate, he takes credit for the team’s victory.

Junior does not have the influence of Ivanka or the day-to-day responsibilities of Eric, which says a lot about his relationship with his father.

Donald Trump Jr. Says He’d Go to ‘Great Lengths’ to Stop Haley as VP Pick

‘I would go to great lengths to make sure’ Ms. Haley is not tapped as VP, the former president’s son said.

Donald Trump Jr. has expressed strong opposition to the prospect of Nikki Haley being tapped as his father’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election, pledging to go to “great lengths” to prevent it.

In a recent interview, Mr. Trump Jr. declared that he “wouldn’t have her” as the vice presidential candidate alongside his father, former President Donald Trump, should he secure the GOP nomination next year.

“I would go to great lengths to make sure that doesn’t happen,” the former president’s son told Newsmax on Dec. 25.

The statement came after the outlet played video footage of Ms. Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a GOP presidential candidate, making critical comments about President Trump during an interview with ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis earlier in the month.

“I don’t think he should be president,” said Ms. Haley, who expressed concerns about the state of the country and the world, saying, “Donald Trump brings us chaos.”

In response to the footage, Mr. Trump Jr. dismissed Ms. Haley’s candidacy, accusing her of being a “puppet” of the Washington establishment. <Source>

While I believe that Nikki Haley is a tough-talking marshmallow representing the Jeb Bush wing of the GOP establishment and do not consider her a viable presidential candidate, who is this jumped-up putz to say “he ‘wouldn’t have her’ as the vice presidential candidate alongside his father.” It’s not his decision; his personnel recommendations have all been duds.

It is even more annoying as his wife parades about seeking affirmation as an important person.

Bottom line…

I wish Junior and his wife would join James Carville in some dark back room where we do not have to listen to their bullpucky. At least Carville is interesting and does not display daddy issues.

Truth be told, Don Jr. is a cleaner version of Hunter Biden when it comes to exploiting the family name. 

We are so screwed.
