Whoa! Julie Kelly rips the Capitol Police's Michael Fanone
Julie Kelly used Twitter to launch a full-on assault against Michael Fanone, one of the weeping Capitol Hill police officers who showed up for the House's show trial last week. According to Kelly's sharp and amusing exposé, Fanone is a "crisis actor," who gets away with it because the DOJ and Capitol Police are hiding massive amounts of evidence from January 6.
Kelly doesn't just insult Fanone; she brings evidence to back her disdain for the man:

I mean, who among us on paid mental health leave doesn’t go to a pricy DC wine bar to pick up chicks, ask the bartender to turn on CNN to watch a video of himself, then have a breakdown in front of a sympathetic crowd? pic.twitter.com/p523aKqVTq

The clip Kelly included in her tweet comes from a newly published article in Time (yes, the once decent mainstream, now hard-left dreck publication still exists) about the martyrdom of Mike Fanone. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at the oozing pathos and bathos in the article.
Kelly's tweeted the article's first paragraphs. There's poor Mike at an extremely expensive bar to pick up girls, showing his sensitive side. And then you learn that this big boy is almost broke and lives with Mommy. The takeaway from the Times' maudlin piece is that this is not a man who should ever have been put in a position of responsibility.
Kelly has more about both Fanone and the corruption in Washington that allows the Capitol Police and the DOJ to hang onto potentially exculpatory evidence:
It’s not just 14,000 hours of USCP surveillance video that DOJ wants kept from the public and media. DOJ also refusing to release Officer Fanone’s full body-cam footage from January 6. Why?

My latest report on what’s happening in court: https://t.co/fGvDgIyD9C
Fanone, as you know, has been on a nonstop publicity tour for 7 months. He’s stalked GOP lawmakers and said it’s “disgraceful!” anyone would defy his narrative. One federal judge cited the 4 officers’ testimony last week while scolding a couple charged with misdemeanors for J6.

Joe Biden is flagrantly interfering in the J6 criminal investigation, robbing defendants of a fair trial. Fanone and his fellow witnesses are, too. If they want to use cops to stoke the flames of J6, fine.

But release the tapes.https://t.co/fGvDgIyD9C
Of course, the real issue isn't Fanone's showboating (if he's broke, he's probably hoping for the book deal that seems to be the payoff for all Deep State actors); it's the DOJ's utterly reprehensible refusal to show possibly exculpatory evidence to the defendants. This refusal violates every known prosecutorial requirement to ensure that defendants get their full due process rights and aren't railroaded by a corrupt government:
I talked to a defense attorney who said he's never seen prosecutors use so many screenshots of videos rather than videos themselves. Now we know why. DOJ doesn't enter videos as evidence so judges can justify keeping them concealed from public/press.https://t.co/fGvDgIyD9C

"What are they hiding?
— Julie Kelly рџ‡єрџ‡ё (@julie_kelly2) August 6, 2021
The Press Coalition, in addition to other news outlets, should keep pushing. Fanone has made himself into a media celebrity while gaslighting the public; worse yet, his unproven accusations now contaminate potential jurors and federal judges."
Meanwhile, just as a reminder, we hear nothing from the officers who spent weeks fighting off Antifa members attacking the federal courthouse in Portland. These men were assaulted by lasers (leaving some with permanent eye damage), rocks, bottles of frozen water, feces, rockets, and all sorts of other lethal weapons. As far as the Democrats are concerned, those federal law enforcement officers don't exist.
Every day, in every way, January 6 looks more like the Democrats' Reichstag fire — an event of questionable origin that they are weaponizing to destroy their political opposition.
