Stunning: Reports Expose Disturbing Level
of Corruption Among Capitol Police

Original Article

Over the years, investigations and reports have revealed a disturbing culture of corruption, favoritism, and cover-ups among the leaders of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP). With incidents dating back to the late 1990s, high-ranking officials, including assistant chiefs and deputies, have been implicated in various forms of misconduct including fraud, forgery, obstruction of justice, and others. A new Blaze Media investigation highlights some of the shadier aspects of the USCP, detailing a culture in which misconduct not only goes unpunished, but is often rewarded. “Corruption is endemic at the highest levels of the United States Capitol Police,” the report reads. High-ranking USCP officials, including a present-day deputy chief and an assistant chief,

Corrupt all right. Unpatriotic as hell, too. At forty-five, I made it to DC to see the copy of the Constitution with my family. The line was quite long. When I came up to it, I stood there gazing in silent reverence. The Kapitol Kop, standing by, told me to “move it.” Such a shame to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience soured that way. This was in 1992.

Not just Capitol Police. Walking to the ladies’ room from my Cannon Senate Judiciary Subcommittee office, a U.S. Senator tried to grab my arm and pull me into his private office side door. By the grace of God, I got away quickly. Prayers America returns to our Founding Principles. Bring 10 patriots from your church or neighborhood to vote, and become a poll watcher volunteer at your Precinct. Was a volunteer in ‘22 in SC, where we were sworn in before training, and even paid for our time. Have volunteered here now in Santa Clara County CA, and our local Safeway has volunteers already registering neighbors. MAGA

NOT surprising in the least. The Deep State needs reliable thugs who won't turn on them when they see the Congressmen and Senators breaking laws....so they select the most corrupt. And hired killers like Leroy Bird.

Not surprising, they are the police department for probably the most corrupt place on the planet. It also makes it easy to understand how it made it so easy to use them in the J6 false flag event, not much different than using ANTIFA or BLM to loot and burn down cities.

Corruption?! We’re way past corruption and have ventured into murder caught on video on J6. Then there is the intern that was found dead in congressman Joe Scarborough’s office. Plus, there was the democrat operative, Seth Rich, who was murdered on the streets. I don’t believe either of those murders have been solved. Washington DC is a “fixers” paradise.

It's not a shocker to my son who passed every test and background check and was refused employment because he is a white male. We witnessed two Capitol police trainers working with new recruits, and there were no white males with either trainer. I guess they had reached their white male quota.

who does not know this! the latest example is the Kop that shot Ashley Babbitt. He shoots and unarmed women, is pulled back under the staircase to protect him. Is hidden at Andrews Air Force Base in a luxury apartment for a good 6 months, and then given a promotion. Look at all the capitol kops on Jan.6. Helping people walk thru the Capitol. Not one person attacked Kop, pulled a gun, or destroyed anything in the building. These people, that the kops helped, are jailed, and not one kop, not one, came forward to defend what was really going on. Who, in their right mind does not SEE the corruption? Starting with Pelosie, biden, hussien, right down to the lowest capitol kop. these kops are a disgrace. they must be getting paid off.

Well it is clear to see that if partisan political influence is/was used to decide who gets hired as Capitol Police Officers that there is insider politically based corruption involved. That’s for sure! If you watched the hearings after the January 6th riot at the US Capitol Building, especially when a number of Capitol Police Officers testified before Democrat controlled Congressional Committees by the way they acted you could tell that they were not experienced street smart police officers and were likely selected because of their political allegiances.

Look who is running the District. Merit is not the basis of employment there. If they can't run the District why should they be given the opportunity to run it as a state. Deed the District back to Maryland from which it was formed. It was never meant to be a residential area. Since that changed it should go back.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) may be infamous for passing gas on live television and allegedly having an affair with a Chinese spy, but his recent social media post accidentally raises new questions about the embattled congressman. On Friday, Swalwell posted a photo on X/Twitter of his kid's bedroom, which features a Post-It note in the child’s handwriting that reads, “No dad in my room." I can’t exactly explain why he would want to post such a thing in the first place. He adds no further context, so we have no idea why the child posted the note. But Swalwell made the already bizarre post incredibly creepy

Take Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter Alaina Petty died during the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Speaking with Fox News this week, he outright accused Harris of trying to use the school for a “photo op” to “push” a gun control agenda. “What’s frustrating to me is that this building should have been demolished years ago, and it’s now being used as a photo op for politicians that want to push an agenda,” he said.

West Virginia conservative Derrick Evans said on Breitbart News Saturday that Rep.

Even though a majority of House Republicans opposed the minibus spending bill, Miller, who represents a ruby-red district in the Mountain State, voted for the bill. Evans, a former West Virginia state delegate, said that Miller should not be even considered a Republican in Name Only (RINO).

The United Nations Security Council on Monday passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The resolution calls for the immediate cease-fire in Gaza during Ramadan and the immediate, unconditional release of the hostages being held captive by Hamas. The U.S. chose to abstain instead of vetoing the resolution, and all other member nations voted in favor. It marks the first time the U.N. Security Council has passed a cease-fire resolution since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out on October 7 because of Hamas’s mass slaughter of innocent civilians from Israel and nations around the world.
