The inspector general for the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) has opened a formal investigation into whether the law enforcement agency tasked with securing the Capitol has been inappropriately surveilling elected members of Congress, their staff, and visitors to their offices, The Federalist has learned. The opening of the investigation follows news reports and accusations from lawmakers that USCP has overstepped its bounds as it tries to recover from the January 6 riots that tarnished both the Capitol and the reputation of the law enforcement agency that was supposed to keep it safe.
USCP Chief J. Thomas Manger confirmed the opening of the inspector general investigation in his response to congressional inquiries about USCP police tactics, reported in a January 24 article published by Politico, including surveilling and compiling intelligence dossiers on members of Congress, their staff, and visitors.

Good to see the ball rolling... a little bit. My confidence is very low that this will go anywhere. The fix is in.
The Inspector General is the senior official responsible for audits, investigations, and other oversight activities relating to USCP programs and operations. The Office of Inspector General provides leadership in promoting economy and effectiveness in USCP programs and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse. The IG's priorities have been to serve as an independent and trusted contributor related to the value and safety of USCP’s mission and operations; and to improve the management and financial integrity of the Department’s programs.

Be willing to bet that the congressman who were surveilled have the Dash-R brand. Majorie Taylor-Greene for instance?
Whitewash in progress. The CP decided to be the Secret Service for Pelosi. Running around spying on the oposiyi. And they are opening satellite offices in some States!!! Under what authority???
Comingsoon: CP SWAT and tanks. Under Nancy Pelosi. Remember, she wanted belt fed weapons on Jan 6. THAT’S her attitude towards us deplorables.
Defund The Federal Police!!!
Oh, the 12th of Never.
By 2055 we have an answer. Ask Durham he will have and answer in 26 years or so.
Very true. Why the Capitol Police would need an office in California still escapes me.
As if this will go anywhere.
The SS are alive and well in the USSA.
...in other words....HA!HA!HA!
So the Politburo is going to investigate their own?
When pigs fly will anything be done to stop this fascist government.
Thanks for the background info.
Results are expected some time after the release of the Durham Report...

Duham? Durham? Name sounds vaguely familiar. Did he play for the Boston Red Sox in the 70’s?
Interesting timing.
