Merrick Garland just put out a press release claiming 5 officers died in the line of duty as a result of January 6.

How many J6 defendants were charged with manslaughter or murder?

None.

You know why?

Because this is a lie that wouldn't hold up in a courtroom.
9:34 AM · Jan 6, 2025. //

It's just gaslighting in the extreme by Garland to make a false statement of such magnitude.

The five officers he is referring to did not die "in the line of duty" in the sense that the term is widely understood. Four of them committed suicide - two of them (Jeffrey Smith and Howard Liebengood) just days after January 6, 2021, and the other two (Gunther Hashida and Kyle deFreytag) within six months of it.

Officer Brian Sicknick's death, which occurred the day after, was the result of natural causes stemming from a stroke, as the DC medical examiner ruled.

The people who died that day were Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, two men (Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Philips) who died of natural causes stemming from cardiovascular disease, and Rosanne Boyland, whose official cause of death was an amphetamine overdose though some believe she was crushed by the crowd at the Capitol building. //

On the 4th anniversary of January 6th, why didn't Garland recite the names of the five officers he remembered so graciously instead of referring to them anonymously? Because not a single officer died as a result of injuries he/she received defending the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
