#8  ^ The dems will have no problem with shrugging their way through a sordid episode of two-tiered justice. The Capitol police will sit on their hands and the Justice Department will decide it has no "standing" to act.

#7  Moments ago:
"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸
@RepMTG
Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon building this afternoon and interrupted the official proceedings of the House as Republicans worked to keep the government open.

I’m calling on the DOJ to prosecute him using the same law they used to prosecute J6 defendants for interfering with an official proceeding.

The Democrats literally will do anything to shut OUR government down because billions aren’t going to their favorite country: Ukraine."

Hasn't some other clown been hung out to dry the the DOJ?

#5  Bowman's stunt, done by a Republican, would have the entire dem caucus screaming for his immediate resignation, with halt the Pub cuckus in concurrence.

Jack Smith would already be filing and indictment. None of the J6ers pulled a fire alarm, did they?

#4  Bowman “pulled a fire alarm in Cannon this morning,” a spokesperson for the GOP-controlled Administration Committee told Politico. “An investigation into why it was pulled is underway.”

Bowman’s spokeswoman Emma Simon admitted her boss made a mistake.

“Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The congressman regrets any confusion,” she said.


Staten Island GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ office told The Post she would move to have Bowman expelled from the chamber.

“NY Democrat Jamaal Bowman literally pulled a fire alarm to stall and prevent our efforts to force a vote to keep the federal government open. Pathetic. Criminal investigation needs to happen,” said upstate GOP Congressman Nick Langworthy.

Creating a false fire alarm is a misdemeanor in the District of Columbia and punishable by up to six months in jail.
What do you think? Post a comment.

“This is the United States Congress, not a New York City high school. To pull the fire alarm to disrupt proceedings when we are trying to draft legislation to AVERT A SHUTDOWN is pathetic…even for members of the socialist squad,” Malliotakis wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

#3  ^ My guess is the Dems are pissed that they can't bury Feinstein until the emergency government funding session is over.
