Easy steps that can be taken tonight literally or tomorrow when they come back in into session to have those discussions.

So hopefully this this airs and maybe gets to the right people and we can start the process of getting to the transparency part of January 6th and then effectively.

Furthermore, investigating the murder of Ashley Babbitt by Michael Byrd, US Capitol Police Officer.

The one time in America's 250 year history that someone was slain inside of the Capitol without any transparent investigation for the public to see.

Okay, so January 6th and everything downstream from that was basically under the framework of the United States Capitol Police, the Capitol Police Board, and the legislative branch, meaning there's a statute called Title II U.S.

Code Chapter 29.

And in that statute, you have two really relevant sections, 2 U.S.C.

1967 paragraph B1, which lays out where the U.S.

Capitol Police has jurisdiction to criminalize anybody.

And so every single J6er was criminalized under that statute.

And they were done so with evidence from another section, 1979B, where it is up to the Capitol Police Board to decide whether or not they're going to provide CCTV footage that's incriminating or exculpatory over to the Department of Justice.

How?

Because they have the authority to do so, and they decide based on their own political whims.

Well, who is in charge of the Capitol Police Board?

It consists of the two sergeants at arms that work for the Speaker of the House on the House side and the Senate Majority Leader on the Senate side, unless the Vice President, the President of the Senate, takes on that role as the senior constitutional officer on the Senate side.

Now, understanding that framework that the chair of that Capitol Police Board rotates between each of the sergeants at arms,

every year on January 3rd.

As of a few days ago, the chair of the Capitol Police Board is now the house sergeant in arms who works for Mike Johnson, Speaker Mike Johnson.

And the individual's name is Bill McFarland.

Now, Bill McFarland can basically be ordered by Speaker Johnson to then go ahead and have the Capitol Police Board direct the U.S.
