Trump photo op was not reason police cleared protesters from Lafayette Park, new report says

And another one bites the dust, and another one gone and another one gone and another one bites the dust.............

They just keep piling up, all the hair on fire and attacks on Trump and here goes another one

"When federal police officers violently cleared protesters from the city's Lafayette Park in June 2020, they did it so a contractor could install fencing — not to let President Donald Trump hold a photo opportunity at a nearby church, an investigation by the Interior Department's inspector general has found.

That finding, published Wednesday, is likely to surprise many critics of Trump, who have long asserted that the president or his attorney general ordered the operation to pave the way for an act of political theater. That is also the central allegation of a federal lawsuit by Black Lives Matter against the Justice Department......

... [Inspectors General] Greenblatt found that the Park Police had the authority to clear the park, and decided to do so — in consultation with Barr — hours before anyone knew Trump planned to make an appearance.

"The evidence we reviewed showed that the (Park Police) cleared the park to allow a contractor to safely install anti-scale fencing in response to destruction of Federal property and injury to officers that occurred on May 30 and May 31," Greenblatt said in a letter. "Moreover, the evidence established that relevant (Park Police) officials had made those decisions and had begun implementing the operational plan several hours before they knew of a potential presidential visit to the park, which occurred later that day. As such, we determined that the evidence did not support a finding that the (Park Police) cleared the park on June 1, 2020, so that then President Trump could enter the park."

So will we hear the MSM issue apologies now and retract all those fallacious stories?

Don't hold your breath

Sorry, not buying that those 2 things are completely coincidental.....

 

Pretty sure I said this when it happened.

 

"violently cleared" ... please share with us a list of the injuries, hospitalizations, deaths, etc.

Meanwhile that same group is responsible for the murders of police and innocents. The ANTIFA / BLM scumbags are the "violent" ones.

You're welcome.

 

This was just another lie in a long list of lies. Russia, Fine people, rapist, phone call...whatever. The Left completely DESTROYED journalism.

 

Still wallowing in Trump hate are we? People who would never say anything bad about the new president so I guess it's what they do.

 

Many of them are like the pull string dolls.....just pull the string and they repeat what they were programmed to.

 

How do you have 20,000 likes out of 21,000 messages? And I've noticed we've been tied at 113 Trophy Points since like forever. What's up with that?

 

Cause I'm likable? LOL.
Seems we all have 113 points, guess it maxes out at that?
You should see my infractions and warnings!

 

This is one of two political forums I visit and I'm currently banned on the other one.

 

Lol…and the trump cult attempt to rewrite history continues.

 

It's now Biden's department of the interior, just to remind Democrats. The actual truth, is as the report indicates. Segregational forces against the US were rebelling in the summer of 2020. Their goal: To disrupt and to dismay the American Government, no different than the 6th agitators. It was incumbent on the US Government to put down the rebellion, as the constitution ordains them to do so and with the least amount of force as possible.

None died, none were even injured. They were evacuated.

 

Greenblatt was appointed by Trump. Looks like he is trying to score brownie points with him..

 

Sorry it's the Inspectors Generals reported and documented.

What you got to refute it?

 

Over 60 law enforcement were injured by the insurrectionist.

 

That's the best rebuttal, or rather lack thereof, you got?

 

They gave no warning to the crowd and used tear gas because Trump couldn't wait for his photo OP.

 

Go read the OP, it's the report of the Inspectors General. Stop denying history.

 

Go read the OP, it had nothing to do with Trump, they didn't even know he was coming. They did it because the crowd was not cooperating and the contractor had a security job to complete.

 

And you bought that line of crap?



You guys are such rubes!

 

Simply amazing how blindly you accept these things

 

Bill Barr came asking the Park Police if the crowd would still be there when the POTUS came. They hurried the process because of Trump and tear gassed the crowd without warning.

 

I am having trouble buying the contractor was going to build the fence after 6 pm at night.

 

I meant none of the 'protesters' were injured by the park police.
