    Just read COTUS Article I Section 8. It is quite apparent he never has or if he has, He lacks the intellect to understand what it says.

    Maybe a product of the DC school system.
    They should read it to him aloud verbatim in the hearing and ask him on the record if he has any comprehension issues with it.

    STATEMENT FROM COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN ON FEDERAL INTERFERENCE IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA​

    POSTED BY ERIK SALMI ON MARCH 02, 2023
    The following statement is from Councilmember Charles Allen:
    “Today is an unprecedented violation of America’s core principle of self-governance and the latest painful reminder that until the nearly 700,000 residents of the District of Columbia have full statehood and autonomy, we will be seen and treated as a colony, even by those who purport to support us. The District of Columbia is perfectly capable of governing itself. We are not subjects, and we unequivocally reject anything less than full control of our own affairs. We reject the oppression and paternalism of federal interference. We reject the complete disregard for our legislative process and our values. The Revised Criminal Code Act is badly needed legislation, passed unanimously twice by our duly elected legislature. It is a comprehensive package of extensively debated and meticulously crafted legal reforms, developed over nearly two decades. But this is not about the bill or what it actually does; this is about manufacturing “tough on crime” rhetoric at our expense with the outcome of being stuck with an outdated criminal code that makes the District less safe and less fair. Defending those without power matters, and past pledges of support for DC Statehood couldn’t ring more hollow.”


    Ok den




















    HOW CAN CHARLES HELP YOU?
    Office of Councilmember Charles Allen | 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW | Suite 110 | Washington, DC 20004 | Tel. 202.724.8072 | Fax 202.724.8054 | © 2017 Charles Allen
    Today's the day, Charles.

    Hope they put you in your place.

    EDIT:

    Rep. Burchett called him out.

    Rep. Boebert said "You are defund the police."

    Rep. Ivy called him out as well.

    Rep. Perry did too.

    After lighting up Chairman Mendelson for saying that DC is "safe everywhere" and for blaming TikTok for stolen cars, Rep. Mace asked Allen if he committed perjury when he denied he said "defund the police" and then absolutely destroyed him.

    Rep. Fallon called him out.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called him out.

    Based on the Chairman's remarks: Mayor Bowser is going to be the sole witness for a "Part 2" Hearing.

    And that’s just what would have happened had it been a civilian. :)
    not civilian (he was not military), but non LEO. A certain group of attorneys should use this to bolster their/our case. Judge Moss are you watching?
