   In one of his autopen’s last acts before Joe Biden left office was to   
   pardon Capt. Mike Byrd, the DC officer who shot and killed January 6   
   protester Ashli Babbitt in cold blood during the protests on Capitol   
   Hill on January 6, 2021.   
      
   As TGP’s Brian Lupo noted, video evidence captured Byrd shooting an   
   unarmed Babbitt without warning as she attempted to climb through a   
   narrow window near a barricaded entryway to the Speaker of the House’s   
   office area in the U.S. Capitol.   
      
   Following an investigation, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing, although   
   questions remain about the escalation to lethal force without attempts   
   to subdue or detain Babbitt.   
      
   In the video, other armed law enforcement officers are visible in the   
   background, appearing available to provide backup if needed.   
      
   In addition to Byrd leaving his Glock 22 service weapon in a Visitor’s   
   Center bathroom in February 2019, Byrd also had his police powers   
   revoked on several occasions for failing to meet semi-annual firearms   
   qualifications standards.   
      
   Byrd expressed defiance after being pressed about killing Babbitt during   
   a NBC interview months following the killing. He claimed that he saved   
   “countless lives” by killing Babbitt.   
      
   He also whined that he has been getting death threats since killing the   
   Air Force veteran. The officer said that it was “disheartening” and that   
   he was simply “doing my job.”   
      
   On Tuesday, investigative journalist Paul Sperry discovered recently and   
   posted on Tuesday that Former Lt., now Captain Mike Byrd, has been   
   running an unaccredited day-care center with his wife in their Maryland   
   home since 2008. That is nearly 17 years!   
      
   The Byrds have received $190 million in this HHS day-care scheme.
