D.C. police chief covers up giving Feinstein illegal ‘assault weapons'

[MistWolf]

...Kathryn Stillman, the campus-access coordinator for Mr. Gainer, emailed Cmdr. Williams and Mrs. Feinstein’s staff to recommend the firearms be mounted on a board with zip ties so that Mrs. Feinstein could “point or even touch, but no need for any particular handling.” This was to ensure that it could be argued later that the senator never had “possession” of the illegal guns...

So, all I have to do is zip tie something to a board and I can argue I never had possession??

The absurdity is baffling isn't it. To think these people actually run our country.

Ill give you 5 bucks to knock over a 7/11 and find out.

If it is in your control, you possess it.

I'm not saying any of these ass hats need to remain in office so don't go there.

But when I was a kid I was always puzzled by the "Illegal Drug" and "Illegal Weapon" cases that the D.A.R.E. officers brought all over the place.

I asked if they were real drugs once, and the officer said: These are all items we have taken off of gang members involved in drug use.

How is the above story any different?

Those officers never left the state I assume? In DC the items they had , allegedly, are in and of themselves illegal to possess, legal elsewhere or not.

I'd use delusional to modify people. Add to that the number of like minded citizens who voted for them. Sorta numbs the mind.

Par for the course for these people. I am in no way shocked...

Not that I would stick up for any of these people but, I agree there is no story here. Evidence lockers across the country are full illegal weapons and drugs. They get transported to and from court, labs, crime scenes and I suppose sometimes they're put on display. It just so happens we don't like the particular agenda. Ever hear about all gun turn in programs certain cities do? They do it for narcotics as well. You can turn the stuff in no questions asked and sometimes get paid for it. So these people asked to see some seized weapons, big deal.

I know that- you know that- but apparently they don't know that. It's a double standard
