Capitol Police Officer Charged With Covering Up January 6 Crimes

[The AntiDonald]

A 25-year veteran of the US Capitol Police faces obstruction of justice charges over allegations that he tried to cover up crimes related to the January 6 insurrection. Federal prosecutors say that the officer warned a man who participated in the attack to delete Facebook posts showing himself inside the Capitol—and that the officer subsequently deleted his own Facebook messages in an effort to cover his tracks.

My guess is this is not the only one. Many of our police departments are riddled with radicalized Trump supporters. They all need to be cleaned out.

Was just reading about that, glad they busted him. I'm sure there's more too. Glad they're finding all involved with the trump incited insurrection, they need to be held accountable and we need to try and make sure something like this never happens again.

I guess all that "deep state" crap wasn't just a confession, it was a downplayed one.

Riley should be fired (no pension or other benefits), prosecuted, and prohibited from joining any other police/sheriffs department.
