Bottom line --- it was a lie from the beginning. Since it's obvious there was NO blunt force trauma, it doesn't matter WHO the "two law enforcement officials" were, except that they should be fired for false information.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Yeah, I think there was some poetic license there.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostA couple other parts fit the bill a bit better.
A United States Capitol Police officer died on Thursday night from injuries sustained “while physically engaging” with pro-Trump rioters who descended on the U.S. Capitol the day before, the fifth fatality linked to the chaos that engulfed the nation’s capital on Wednesday, according to the authorities.
"The fifth fatality linked" but with a "link" that has no causality. Very sloppy reporting.
“He returned to his division office and collapsed,” the Capitol Police said in the statement. “He was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.”
From my understanding he went home talked with or texted his brother and it was the next day that he collapsed. The picture the Times reporter drew here leads one to think that right after the riot when he got back to the station he keeled over and died. Of course that would serve to strengthen the narrative that they wanted to push, but I'm sure that's nothing but a coincidence.
Shall I continue?
He lied. You bought it. Because — and yeah, I'm loving this — it fit your narrative.

One of the deacons caught on to that, and called from his cell phone --- the pastor ducked out the back door where the deacon was standing waiting for him.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Laughing. I had a pastor friend who, when he didn't want to take a call, would tell his secretary "tell them I'm not here", then he'd step outside of the building for a few minutes so she wouldn't be lying.
