Justice Dept. Denies House Panel’s Request for Officials to Appear WASHINGTON — The Justice Department on Monday denied a congressional oversight committee’s request to hear from top officials, accusing Democrats of having “squandered” their opportunity to get relevant information from Attorney General William P. Barr this summer by instead using their time to “air grievances.”The House Judiciary Committee had asked that Eric S. Dreiband, the head of the department’s Civil Rights Division, appear this month to discuss the division, and that Michael Carvajal, the director of the Bureau of Prisons, and Donald Washington, the director of the U.S. Marshals Service, appear for an oversight hearing on Oct. 1.The department said in a letter to Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and the chairman of the committee, that Mr. Barr had been advised that he could be asked about police misconduct, voting rights, the coronavirus and federal prisons, and the civil unrest this spring and summer.He appeared before the committee in July prepared to discuss those issues, the department said, but Democrats were more interested in “scolding and insulting” him.“Unfortunately, when given the opportunity to obtain information from the head of the Department of Justice about precisely these matters, many committee members chose instead to use their allotted time to air grievances,” the department wrote in the letter.“Having #BarrWilliamP #DemocraticParty #HouseCommitteeontheJudiciary #HouseofRepresentatives #JusticeDepartment #NadlerJerrold #UnitedStatesPoliticsandGovernment #updatesonusnewsonacqro #usnewsacqro #usnewsacqroupdates #usnewsonacqro #usnewsupdates #usanews Read the full article

Military Police Considered Using Heat Ray on D.C. Protesters, Whistle-Blower Says Hours before law enforcement officers violently cleared protesters from a square outside the White House in June, a top military police officer sought out weaponry like powerful sound cannons and a device that “causes targets to feel an unbearable heating sensation,” an Army National Guard major told lawmakers in written testimony.The major, Adam DeMarco, an Iraq war veteran who serves in the District of Columbia National Guard and was called in to enforce the crackdown on protesters, told House lawmakers last month that he had received an email from a top law enforcement official at the Defense Department asking if the Guard was equipped with sound cannons or a nonlethal heat ray, known as the Active Denial System, or A.D.S.“A.D.S. can provide our troops a capability they currently do not have,” the officer wrote, according to Major DeMarco’s testimony, first reported by The Washington Post. “The A.D.S. can immediately compel an individual to cease threatening behavior or depart through application of a directed energy beam that provides a sensation of intense heat on the surface of the skin. The effect is overwhelming.”Major DeMarco also said that federal officials stockpiled “approximately 7,000 rounds” of live ammunition in the hours before the clash, transferring the munitions from as far as Missouri and Tennessee to the nation’s capital.The Guard ultimately did not have either device, Major DeMarco said. #BarrWilliamP #DemonstrationsProtestsandRiots #GeorgeFloydProtests(2020) #HomelandSecurityDepartment #NationalGuard #NielsenKirstjen #TrumpDonaldJ #UnitedStatesDefenseandMilitaryForces #UnitedStatesPoliticsandGovernment #updatesonusnewsonacqro #usnewsacqro #usnewsacqroupdates #usnewsonacqro #usnewsupdates #usanews Read the full article

Barr Told Prosecutors to Consider Sedition Charges for Protest Violence WASHINGTON — Attorney General William P. Barr told federal prosecutors in a call last week that they should consider charging rioters and others who had committed violent crimes at protests in recent months with sedition, according to two people familiar with the call.The highly unusual suggestion to charge people with insurrection against lawful authority alarmed some on the call, which included U.S. attorneys around the country, said the people, who described Mr. Barr’s comments on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.The attorney general has also asked prosecutors in the Justice Department’s civil rights division to explore whether they could bring criminal charges against Mayor Jenny Durkan of Seattle for allowing some residents to establish a police-free protest zone near the city’s downtown for weeks this summer, according to two people briefed on those discussions. Late Wednesday, a department spokesman said that Mr. Barr did not direct the civil rights division to explore this idea.The directives are in keeping with Mr. Barr’s approach to prosecute crimes as aggressively as possible in cities where protests have given way to violence. But in suggesting possible prosecution of Ms. Durkan, a Democrat, Mr. Barr also took aim at an elected official whom President Trump has repeatedly attacked.Justice Department representatives did not respond to requests for comment. The Wall Street Journal first reported Mr. Barr’s remarks about sedition.During #BarrWilliamP #CrimeandCriminals #DemonstrationsProtestsandRiots #DurkanJennyA #FederalStateRelations(US) #GeorgeFloydProtests(2020) #JusticeDepartment #PoliceBrutalityMisconductandShootings #Portland(Ore) #PresidentialElectionof2020 #RightWingExtremismandAltRight #Seattle(Wash) #TreasonandSedition #TrumpDonaldJ #UnitedStatesAttorneys #UnitedStatesPoliticsandGovernment #updatesonusnewsonacqro #usnewsacqro #usnewsacqroupdates #usnewsonacqro #usnewsupdates #usanews Read the full article
