Why were so many weapons discharged repeatedly at Miriam Carey; why not shoot out the vehicle tires? Why not release an official report on what allegedly transpired? Why the silence and lack of curiosity from Congress about a murder on their doorstep? The number of people trying to kill the lady is disturbing, at best...
From Garth Cant --
For his part, Sanders didn’t mince words: He called it a cover-up by police, the Secret Service and the Department of J...ustice, or DOJ.
He also called the DOJ’s refusal to release the official report on the incident a “stonewall.” The actions of the Secret Service and the Capitol Police were investigated by the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department. That report was reviewed by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, which is part of the Justice Department.
In July, the DOJ announced it would not charge any Secret Service agents or Capitol Police officers in the death of Carey. But the department refused to release the final investigative report and has never fully explained what happened to Carey and why.
Sanders said officials also refused to release video of the incident at the White House gate and the shooting because, “It would not be favorable to their version of events.”
He also blasted the silence on Capitol Hill. Congress held a hearing this week on the armed intruder who got past five rings of security and made it 168 feet into the White House on Sept. 19.
Sanders observed that man was not shot, unlike Carey, who merely tried to make a U-turn and leave the White House, just the opposite of trying to break in.
