Sen. Bill Cassidy shares photo of suspect sought in connection with murder of Capitol Police officer


During the struggle, Sicknick, 42, was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, two law enforcement officials said to the Associated Press.

The officials could not discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The FBI asks anyone who recognizes the man to contact them at 1-800-225-5324.

So.....
Retired firefighter - former employee of a socialized service, certainly a union member, living on a government-funded pension.

I guess he might try to plead insanity.

"The extinguisher that Mr. Sanford allegedly threw is separate from the one that killed Officer Brian Sicknick, who was also struck in the head with a fire extinguisher during the unrest and died from his wounds, officials said."

Still reprehensible, and thankfully this guy's now facing multiple felony charges that include assaulting an officer.

I think because they believed so firmly that trump would remain their president, they really didn't think there would be consequences. I hope there's a way to start making disinformation outlets, like Newsmaxx, OANN, and FoxNews, also pay a price for spreading dangerous lies to weak-minded fools.

capitol certainly acted like they didn't have a care in the world, as far as being caught for their actions. And, I think you're right.. that could only come from believing the trump lies that he would have his 2nd term.

The disconnect from Reality is Absurd!!

My older brother is educated and was very successful with business. He's retired now. I was shocked to hear him spouting birther crap during the run-up to the 2008 election. I don't see him a lot, but back then we had spent quite a bit of time together, along with other family members, when my aunt was terminally ill. A cousin jumped right on board with my brother's delusional thinking.

I always knew my brother was a repuke, but I honestly didn't think he'd be stupid enough to buy in to conspiracy theories. We had to be in proximity to each other at the time because of my aunt, but when I realized he was serious with that birther crap I just refused to join the conversation with him when it got political. He tried so hard to goad me into it. I just smiled and walked away.

brother & cousin. The birther Lie is how trump got so many fans.. is what I read at one point. He & that wife of his were out spewing it in 2011.

It's a lie that's easily disproven.. they All believed what they wanted to believe bc they didn't like the Brilliant Barack Obama.

Good for you not engaging.

The truth has little to do with "Brilliant Barack" first you must understand trumps logic 'is it good for me?'. And yes to have him stay in power is not only good for him but essential. He is a small little man who has been a failure all his life. Money, or should I say his dads money, has continually gotten him out of trouble. He know that when he looses power those who want their money will be looking for him (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9137075/Deutsche-Bank-sever-ties-Donald-Trump-Trump-organization-owes-340-million-loans.html). This has always been about money that trump doesn't have. Mark Cuban said it years ago- 'if trump has the money he says he does why would he need to be paid by NBC's Who Wants To Be a Millionaire'. Now NBC has admitted they gave trump money so he wouldn't look bad. After all why would he have to grift off us taxpayers for the last four years. If he's as rich as he tells his followers why has he done all he can to make money from us just to pay his bills. Look at his actions- he owed money to China on a bill due so how did he pay them? Don't forget when the Covid 19 started, where did our PPE and ventilators go(?) they went to China. This has continued as he turned his back on the USA and gave more power to putin by turning his back, pulling from treaties and the such. Why did he fear putin(?) because putin is his financial backer with Deutsche-Bank. It's all about trump trying to keep out of PRISON nothing more...
