Great, we can start by getting to the bottom of everything that happened that day, including Trump's communications. Enforce all subpoenas! We need to know everything that led up to her death.

(3,883 posts)They could present it to him in his own "Trump speak" where they refer to him as "sir" all the time.
I imagine it going like this:
"Sir...sir you were right. Sir...we need to investigate Ashli Babbitt's death. Sir...we need to put you under oath now."

(76,696 posts).... people like Babbitt to D.C. and then sent her to the US Capitol to kill Speaker Pelosi.
"A deposition is a witness's sworn out-of-court testimony. It is used to gather information as part of the discovery process and, in limited circumstances, may be used at trial."

(9,353 posts)The answer, Trump.
As far as the shooting, it has been investigated by the USCP, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Department of Justice. Unfortunately, Lt Byrd had to discharge his weapon to protect Members of Congress, Congressional Staff, members of the press, his fellow officers. It is sad that it reached that point but she was following the directions of the cult leader.

(24,292 posts)She was part of a violent mob attempting to storm the US Capitol building with the expressly stated intent to overturn a free and fair Presidential election, and to do physical harm to specific Senators and Representatives. They fucking said as much ... and we have it on TAPE!
Upon trying to illegally enter the Capitol through a window shattered by her co-belligerents, a Capitol police officer justifiably shot her ignorant and treasonous ass.
Natural selection ensued, and therefor, the seditious twit will not be diluting the gene pool.
Got it?

(3,883 posts)We can change it to the investigation into why Ashli Babbitt died.
I am so sick of Trump and his idiotic supporters.

Ohioboy
(3,883 posts)The investigation into Jan 6, that he and his republicans don't want, is actually also an investigation into why she died.

(37,770 posts)Unfortunately he was allowed to fail up his entire life - and that's why he says stupid things like this.

Go back to your basement or gold toilet where you belong.

(76,123 posts)First, who cares what a guy that got creamed, despite the advantages of incumbency, thinks?
Second, ok with an investigation. The facts are clear. She was part of a violent mob, committing criminal acts, trying to break into the chamber, ignored multiple warnings, & got iced. Should take 3 hours. Case closed!
Ohioboy
(3,883 posts)But, I think we should give it to him anyway. We can start right where the existing committee looking into Jan 6 has started.

Caliman73
(11,767 posts)I agree, full on investigation.
Trump is an idiot and only wants the moments leading up to her death to be examined so that they can blame the Black cop for killing a White woman.
The reality is that Ashli Babbitt was put into that situation by a coordinated disinformation ecosystem, with leadership from the very top of the right wing movement in the United States at the time, Donald Trump. While she bears ultimate responsibility for her choices leading up to that day, you CANNOT in good faith, discount all of the misinformation that permeates media these days, and that comes directly from right wing propaganda like Savage, Jones, Fox News, OANN, etc...
We all need to know what exactly lead to her death. We already know she died because she was trying to breach the capitol with a bunch of other insurrectionists. We need to know HOW she became an insurrectionist. Somehow, I doubt Trump actually wants that part to be investigated.

(7,341 posts)..before leaving office. I guess he wants to grift money in a phony investigation for himself, by using Ashli Babbitts name.
I hope her family is ok with that.

(61,033 posts)She invaded the Capitol with hundreds of others, try to climb through a smashed window adjacent to the locked entrance to the Speaker's lobby to let in the mob she was with which was trying to capture the Speaker and other legislators.
She was shot. She was an insurrectionist. She was shot. She died participating in an attempted coup.
End of story.
