🚨BREAKING🚨
The @CapitolPolice Intelligence Division investigated my office illegally and one of my staffers caught them in the act.
Thread🧵
On November 20th, 2021, Capitol Police entered my office without my knowledge and photographed confidential legislative products protected by the Speech and Debate clause enshrined in the Constitution, Article 1 Section 6.
Two days later on Monday November 22, 2021 (Thanksgiving week), three intelligence officers attempted to enter my office while the House was in recess.
Upon discovering a member of my staff, special agents dressed like construction workers began to question him as to the contents of a photograph taken illegally two days earlier.
.@CapitolPolice never informed myself or senior level staff of their investigation and the reasons are clear.
They had no authority to photograph my office, let alone investigate myself or members of my staff.
So, why is the Capitol Police Leadership maliciously investigating me in an attempt to destroy me and my character?
Maybe it is because I have been a vocal critic of @SpeakerPelosi, the @January6thCmte, and @CapitolPolice leadership about their handling of January 6th, the death of Ashli Babbitt and the subsequent SHAM investigation.

Does he even know what his job is?

Perhaps you might want to be talking to a lawyer instead of crying on the 'Twitter Machine' - just sayin'........

(23,182 posts)3. LOL, they took an "illegal" picture of him being a seditionist?
Or was he just assisting the seditionists and got caught? Or was it a sex thing? Inquiring minds can't wait to find out what this asshole actually got caught at.

Linked in the thread is some fascinating reading:
https://www.johntfloyd.com/peoples-sheriff-troy-nehls-is-a-bad-cop/
In the Houston-area 22nd Congressional District, Republican candidate Troy Nehls, a career cop with a checkered past, has run on a law and order theme touting his law enforcement record as the primary reason why voters should send him to Washington. In fact, Nehls Facebook page sports a video calling him the peoples sheriff.
Lets briefly examine the Fort Bend County peoples sheriffs personal record.
In 1988, the peoples sheriff was arrested for underage drinking and obstructing the police trying to make his arrest. If that was the end of the story, one could, and probably should, excused the antics of a young man learning to become socially responsible. Most people would have taken that early life encounter with law enforcement as an opportunity to learn to respect the rules and live an honest, law-abiding life. Not so with the peoples sheriff. He would later lie about his arrest later when he applied for a job with the Ford Bend ISD Police Department, signing a form saying hed never been arrested or charged with a crime.
Nearly ten years later, after military service, Troy Nehls decided he wanted a career as a Republican-driven law enforcement officer. He got a job with the Richmond Police Department. It did not go well. The peoples sheriffs penchant for flaunting the rules, obstructing justice, and reckless behavior forced Chief of Police Bill Whitworth to terminate Nehls employment with his department. Chief Whitworth offered this staggering list of reasons for the termination: [lots more, cuz he's a peach]

When I went to add his name to the bookmark file, I was surprised to find Nehls was already there.
This is Troy Nehls, who McCarthy wants to put on the January 6th Commission

Wow. McCarthy went out of his way to pick only the best, eh?

That office is not personal property!
