There needs to be accountability
Take it to the Bank
Where’s the accountability?
Three cops who helped stop the overthrow of America Jan. 6 have now died following the attempted coup.
It was confirmed Tuesday that Jeffrey Smith, a Washington, D.C., police officer, killed himself following the insurrection, joining fellow Capitol Police officer Howard Liebengood, who also took his own life.
Brian Sicknick, another Capitol Police officer, died from physical injuries sustained from that day.
In addition to those three and the other four who died from the insurrection, more than 140 officers were injured during the mob’s politically motivated charge into the U.S. Capitol building.
Countless other first responders and others who were inside that building were traumatized. They can’t even have solace that lawmakers will do their part in holding those who aided in this insurrection responsible.
Instead, what can only be described as defectors of justice and truth are debating questions of constitutionality in the U.S. Senate while tip-toeing around what should be an open and shut case of conviction.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Rep. Jim Banks voted against articles of impeachment of President Donald Trump, whose rhetoric and blatant attempt at staying in office despite losing the November election led to the people dying.
In June, Banks told the IndyStar he wouldn’t put his name on “anything that would endanger our police officers or leave them vulnerable in the line of duty."
Well, an officer died following the actions of Jan. 6 and two killed themselves afterward. Banks had a chance to help impeach the man responsible for the insurrection.
He didn’t.
And more violence could ensue if Trump and his legion of domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol in his name aren’t convicted.
Banks and U.S. Sen. Mike Braun both have blood on their hands for their involvement in this outrageous and unconstitutional attempt to keep Trump as president.
Braun can rectify his deadly mistake along with Sen. Todd Young in voting to convict Trump.
Anything less than a vote to convict is a complete disregard for the rule of law and the oath they took to serve this country.
