Last week, CNN was tactically baffled by a simple question that grows stranger by the day: Why are investigators struggling to build a murder case in the death of US Capitol Police Officer Sicknick?
The stakes are high: Officer Sicknick’s death is the only purported death by a largely tourist crowd that was let into the building by police, stayed inside the velvet ropes, seemed at least partly there out of confusion, for social media clout, or just for the memes, and that even the New York Times conceded caused limited property damage.
That’s a far cry from murder.
Yet MAGA is being blood libeled with a felony murder charge in the court of public opinion and at Donald Trump’s impeachment, while potentially exculpatory evidence is silenced or sealed.
Narrative 1:0: The Brazen Lie The day after Sicknick's reported death, depraved toilet paper company and full-time libel factory known as The New York Times jumbo-tronned a massive, howler headline, later confirmed to be a Judith Miller-level damn dirty lie. Narrative 1.0 absolutely saturated the airwaves, editorials, and social media.
Every MSM outlet from USAToday to the NY Post to the Daily Dot repeated that Sicknick was "bludgeoned by a fire extinguisher."
Not "sources say." Not "many believe" -- just a totally unqualified, unequivocal statement of fact.
In an unforgivable shocker, the House Trial Memorandum itself, which sets forth the very impeachment charges for which the 45th President stands accused, names Trump liable for "insurrectionists" that "killed a Capitol police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher."
Their source? The New York Times. But the toilet paper Times left a real stinker inside this one. Because every claim they made, every detail conveyed, was a lie.
Law enforcement officials now tell CNN that there was no fire extinguisher blow, no bloody gash, and no blunt force trauma to Sicknick's body when he died. Not only that, but it is increasingly unclear when, where and if Sicknick was even rushed to the hospital.
As it turns out, multiple hours after the protest had already concluded, Sicknick texted his own brother Ken that very night he was basically fine, other than being "pepper sprayed twice," confirming he was safe and "in good shape."
Revolver then relays a strange detail:
Sicknick's family was called on the phone Wednesday night and told, falsely, that Sicknick had died.
These calls were placed by the media.
Read the article for that.
Ken Sicknick had been told his brother collapsed inside the Capitol building, then was rushed to the hospital... But the US Capitol Police's statement that night told a different story: he had returned to his office at the police division first.
Sometime between Sicknick being fine, healthy, and back in his office on Wednesday night, and dead or effectively dead on early Thursday evening, Sicknick apparently suffered a stroke.
The sequence of when and how that happened should be the easiest part of this story to put to bed. And yet we are being told to take this faith -- or as the media likes to say: "without evidence."

A blow to the head can cause a stroke (brain bleed).
Is there any video footage of Sicknick's being struck in the head?
No. According to this article, there is not.
Pasto,
That's what I thought.
So, how can the House managers for impeachment be allowed to utter known lies without impunity? Don't the rules for "agents of the court" (I can't think of the exact term) apply? Perjury and all that.
I wonder if Officer Sicknick had a history of high blood pressure. Hypertension can cause a brain bleed (aka stroke); such was the case for Mr. AOW.
He died of satanic-communism. Can we all work to eradicate every bit of that on this planet?
That was fn rhetorical.
