Quote:Many people have wondered about who was responsible for the killing of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol on January 6 but now even a Congressman is demanding answers.

Republican Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar is among those who want answers and he demanded them during a House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday.

The representative asked former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen if any firearms were confiscated from the attendees at the pro-Donald Trump rally at the Capitol.

“Officer Sicknick was there acting in the line of duty and went into harm’s way. And I think as others have said, he acted as one of many heroes on that day, so –” Rosen said before the representative cut him off to state that “He died of natural causes.”

Then he moved on to the death of Babbitt, who was shot by a Capitol Police officer as she was attempting to climb through a window inside the Capitol building.

“Do you recall the name of the young lady, a veteran wrapped in an American flag, who was killed in the U.S. Capitol?” Gosar said to Rosen.

“I do. Her name was Ashli Babbitt,” Rosen said.

Gosar demanded to know if Babbitt was armed in any way

“Again, Congressman, I need to be respectful of your observations, but I just don’t want to talk about individual situations,” Rosen responded.

“No, she wasn’t. She was wrapped in a U.S. flag,” Gosar said. “Was the death of Ashli Babbitt a homicide?”

“Congressman, I’m not trying to be unhelpful here. But I just cannot comment,” Rosen said before Gosar stopped him again.

“As the death certificate says, it was a homicide. Who executed Ashli Babbitt?” Gosar asked, but Rosen, once again, side-stepped the question.

“My constituents demand answers. But the truth is being censored and covered up. As a result, the [Justice Department] is harassing peaceful patriots across the country,” Rep. Goar said.

“Without accurate answers, conspiracies continue to form,” he said at the hearing.

Last month Babbitt’s attorney, Terrell N. Roberts III, raised new questions about her death.

“The shooting of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021, by an unidentified U.S. Capitol Police Officer was an unjustified use of deadly force which violated her constitutional rights,” Roberts III said.

“It is clear from video footage that Ashli did not pose a danger to the officer, or any other person when she was shot. Ashli was unarmed. She did not assault anyone. She did not threaten to harm anyone. There was no excuse for taking her life,” he said.

“It is a universal law enforcement standard that a police officer should use no more force than necessary to accomplish a lawful purpose,” the attorney said. “At 5′ 2″ tall and 110 pounds, an arrest of Ashli could have been accomplished by a single trained officer with a set of handcuffs. At the time of the shooting, there were over a half-dozen police officers in close proximity to the Speaker’s door where Ashli was standing.”

“Some of those officers had just allowed protesters access to the door by stepping aside,” he said.

“Other officers, dressed in full tactical gear, stood among the protesters just a few feet behind the door. Still others stood casually at the opposite end of the Speaker’s Lobby, unconcerned with the activities of Ashli and the protesters around her.”

But it was the next part of what the attorney said that raises serious questions about the shooting of Babbitt.

“All of these officers were in a position to have aided in the apprehension of Ashli if it was necessary,” he said. “Given her background as a 14-year veteran of the Air Force, it is likely that Ashli would have complied with simple verbal commands, thereby making the use of any force unnecessary.”

“However, the officer who shot Ashli never attempted to arrest her,” the attorney said. “Nor did he call on his fellow officers to arrest her. Instead, he fired a shot into her chest.”

“Witnesses confirm that the officer did not give Ashli a single verbal warning prior to firing,” he said. “In fact, Ashli was not even aware that the officer was present, as he was located in the doorway of a room off to the side of her field of vision.”

Is he the Brazilian immigrant who was previously identified? Sounds like a different name.

1. Ashli B. played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

2. There was no good reason for Lt. Byrd to shoot her.
