#1 Trump calls BLM mob who attacked Rand Paul 'thugs' who yell with 'unhinged manic rage' and says DC Mayor should be 'ashamed' - then reveals he will give MEDALS to the four cops who shielded senator outside White House

#2 He might want take this up with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, excuse me, Mitch McConnell who has told Trump that any dismissals in the Justice Department will be met with refusal to approve any new appointments.

Be sure to thank Paul Ryan for his fine work in running interference for the Deep State as well.

On the plus side, Kevin McCarthy hurdurred and harrumphed on Twitter at Pelosi, so the House Minority Leader is on the case.

Republicans! Yeah!

#3 It's a domestic terror movement no different from the late 60s-70s Black Liberation Army. Not rioters but commies. Revolutionary killers.

Infiltrate them, thwart them, fuck with their minds. Then bust em up

#4 Mitch McConnell who has told Trump that any dismissals in the Justice Department will be met with refusal to approve any new appointments.

To whom does the Washington, DC police belong?

#5 /\ Mitch McConnell and his career politician cadre are a large part of the problem.

#8 Trump wouldn't be able to inject sanity into the judiciary if it weren't for McConnell.

#9 To whom does the Washington, DC police belong?

According to the article, Senator was asking for "FBI arrests".

I don't know the intricacies of Congress' relationship to DC law enforcement, but they do effectively control or at least influence the FBI via budget approval and appointment confirmations.

#10 Oh, and Rand Paul could introduce repealing the
District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

#11 The DC Police are a function of the City of DC. Local police. One level up, though, the FBI functions as the 'state' police for DC, and for all federal property everywhere. (They usually delegate that out local departmental investigators.)
Srangely enough, this is a political pencil sharpener that the higher ups in the FBI try to avoid, for some reason.

#14 Just to muddy the waters further, the US Capitol Police have primary jurisdiction for the Capitol and Supreme Court Grounds (I believe they absorbed the Supreme Court Police a few years back) and the USCP has concurrent jurisdiction and police powers in the entire United States. Selected Members of the House and Senate have plainclothes USCP officers as a security detail, and they have limited investigative, intelligence and forensic capability, often augmented by the FBI, USSS, MPD (DC Police) and other federal agencies like the US Park Police, ATF and DEA. So the USCP could investigate and even provide security for threatened members of the House and Senate if so directed.
