I wonder if the mayor cut a deal to implicate the congress woman. That would be fun.

Love to see it. Charged.

🚨 Today my office has charged Congresswoman McIver with violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1) for assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement. pic.twitter.com/TV00uwRtKq

As RedState reported, McIver was seen on video throwing punches at and shoving ICE agents after they tried to prevent her from entering a checkpoint. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested on site for trespassing after a Homeland Security official showed up to deal with the situation. McIver was allowed to leave, though, leaving open the question of whether she'd face consequences.

If a normal American did what McIver did, they'd have been slammed to the ground and handcuffed. It wouldn't even be a question that they'd be charged with a crime, and they'd almost certainly lose their employment as well. Congressional members are supposed to have some sense of decorum and respect. Cussing out rank-and-file ICE agents and throwing punches at them is not those things, to say the least.

House Majority Leader Mike Johnson should quickly bring a resolution to expel McIver from Congress to the floor. Even if it doesn't pass, and it just might, it will at least make the entire Democrat caucus own her ridiculous behavior. Further, the DOJ should file charges. McIver cannot be allowed to get away with what she did simply because of her status. If that happens, it'll be open sense for this kind of dangerous, grandstanding garbage. The time to nip this in the bud is now. Make an example of her, and do it harshly.

I'm glad to see that happened. You can not have congressional members existing above the law. As I said above, any normal person would have been on the ground in handcuffs had they done what McIver did, and had she been allowed to get away with her behavior, it would have signaled open season on immigration authorities.

---

She should now be expelled from the House per above.

It was mentioned this morning on Fox & Friends that Mayor Barakas agreed to cooperate when his charges were dropped.

Should Trump offer to put in a good word with Bondi on her behalf if she votes for the BBB?

Well, it is the new black

She won't get jail time. The maximum penalty for what she is charged with is one year in prison. Assuming her criminal record is clean, she's looking at probation.

I sure hope they keep going and not wimp out...let the swine like Swallowwell cry alligator tears. Nobody cares because this is an 80-20 issue and the Dems just haven't realized it yet or think this the only way to show how brave they are in their "resistance."

Man, I wish you were on the Jan 6 legal team.

They are still considering additional charges and word on the Newark mayor is he is facing more serious charges if he balks at cooperation.

Whilst I can normally agree someone with a clean record would be considered for probation, the libs tossed all that out the window. Goose and gander and all that jazz for this cat.

---

She's only been charged with one crime as of now. Sure, if they stack on additional charges, the penalties could rise. But that's all we have to go on at the present time.

No one is above the law. If they can charge a President with something, they can charge a representative with something. It's not Animal House where some are more equal than others.

I shoulda paid more attention in English at A&M.

In apologies, here's one of the great cinematic burps of all time.

And for this fat *****, they didn't have to make up charges. She is on video assaulting Federal LEOs in the commission of their official duties. She was demanding something she has no right to. She should absolutely be expelled from Congress.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Nancy Mace just filed a resolution to EXPEL Rep. LaMonica McIver from Congress after she was formally charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer.

So nice of her to wear bright orange so that we can easily pick her out of the crowd. I am sure that she meant to do this to show her constituants how hard she fights for them. But, I guess she forgot that orange works both ways.

8 years is ludicrous. I despise these petty tyrants more than most but 8 is a ridiculously long sentence considering we let child rapists out after a couple of years.

Child rape can get you life so there's that.

She should get the 8 years and maybe the Dems will be more electable then.

For now, dis ho goin to da clink.

What did the Jan 6 defendants get?

She won a prize. She can enjoy it for 8 years.

"Faces 8 years" does not mean she is going to get that punishment.

That is the maximum punishment. Unless she is a multitime offender, that's not going to happen.

I actually agree that a sitting US Senator should have the right to oversight (without hindrance) of any United States facility world wide at any time unannounced.

Or we should elect a group of tribunes that all hell breaks loose if they don't get whatever they ask for or are blocked from any type of over sight.

I think it keeps everyone honest because they would always be willing to burn the opposition.

Everything in the government is about procedures. Sorry but it's a fact.

That's not a justification for why it's ok.

I don't trust government and the more widely it can be cracked open for any reason the better

I would think a group of Tribunes elected directly by the people would still be pretty cool.

One year. Unpaid. Can never run for political office again. Cannot have ever held a federal political office. Same goes for lobbying industry.

It really adds a fourth level of oversight & check/balance to the Washington cabal.

The problem is Dems would abuse it. If they won't go through the proper channels and procedures now, and only showboat for the cameras, think how much worse they'd be without policies in place.

So a US Senator or Representative should be allowed to walk into any area, anytime no matter the security requirements?

Walk into Los Alamos an enter the vault where all of the nuclear weapons designs are stored?

Walk into an ICBM control bunker?

Walk into ADX Florence?

Walk into Area 51?

There are places that few people should be allowed to go, and many others that should only be accessed because of the security arrangements that need to be made before a tour can be conducted.

I would want republicans to do the same. Keep both sides honest for fear of being outed by a tribune.

Senators can't do it so it's less political within the senate.
