Sources close to and within the intelligence community tell Cockburn that Babbitt was actually shot by a member of then-vice president Mike Pence’s protective detail. The VP’s detail, of course, is provided by US Secret Service, not the Capitol Police. One person asserted to Cockburn over drinks in DC that this is ‘basically an open secret’ in the intelligence community.
Law enforcement sources suggested to Cockburn that the Capitol Police Department and Department of Justice have publicly identified the shooter as a Capitol Police officer in order to protect the reputation of the Secret Service. Cockburn also wonders if this isn’t an attempt to protect Pence from further anger or threats from Capitol rioters who wanted him to refuse to certify the results of the election on January 6.
A cover-up of this nature would also explain why the government hasn’t been forthcoming with other information about the alleged Capitol Police officer who they say shot Babbitt. Police officers who are involved in shootings are almost always identified publicly

Yeah. Not buying it.
We saw the video. That weren’t no secret service detail. That was a uniformed capitol cop
BS
Initially, they claimed he was part of Schumer’s security.
Nope, don’t think so.
No. The Secret Service is at times dysfunctional. But, they’re not that dysfunctional. There’s no way that was an agent on the personal protective detail of Pence.
The wonder is that we’re still having to ask this question.
If true.....
It’s been a few months since I saw the video, wasn’t he wearing a business suit and shirt with French cuffs, etc?
Do Capitol Police wear a suit and tie and cufflinks? The shooter did.
Not sure how Pence could be blamed for the shooting. But angry, irrational people are not exclusive to the Left.
I heard Pelosi —I would buy that he was one of theirs.
SS? Nope, I don’t think so.
Aha.
Coming into focus, now.
I am highly skeptical. Why would a Secret Service agent shoot Ashlie Babbitt, who was unarmed and acting innocuously. It doesnt make sense.
Nothing to see here …
“…One person asserted to Cockburn over drinks in DC that this is ‘basically an open secret’ in the intelligence community….”
******************************************************
Cockburn is either very gullible or he/himself is the BS’er. I don’t believe this assertion for a millisecond.
“Do Capitol Police wear a suit and tie and cufflinks? The shooter did.”
It was a formal shooting.
Sorry.
“...We saw the video.
That weren’t no secret service detail. That was a uniformed capitol cop...”
-
“...uniformed capitol cop...”???
What video did you see???
I did not see a uniform on the shooter in the video I saw.
