Capitol Police Chief Exposed One Ugly Secret About What Democrats Did To Republican Lawmakers

Democrats turned law enforcement into their personal hit squad after January 6.

Republicans suspected something was wrong for years.

And a Capitol Police Chief exposed one ugly secret about what Democrats did to Republican lawmakers.

Democrats May Have Used Capitol Police Intelligence Against Republican Members

Barry Loudermilk pulled the curtain back on one of Washington's dirtiest secrets.

The Georgia Republican chairs the House Select Subcommittee investigating January 6 security failures.

Now he's uncovered evidence that Democrats weaponized Capitol Police intelligence operations against their Republican colleagues.

Loudermilk told Just the News that former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and other witnesses raised serious questions about how the department's intelligence division was used after January 6.

"There may be some evidence out there that this extended all the way into Congress, that there was investigation and political weaponization against members of Congress that may even have ties with the Select Committee on January 6," Loudermilk explained.

The pattern mirrors the FBI's Arctic Frost probe that targeted more than 160 Republicans in Trump's orbit.

That investigation, led by an openly anti-Trump FBI supervisor before Jack Smith took over, treated Trump allies submitting alternate electors as a criminal conspiracy.

Loudermilk said Democrats actively sought "access to the Capitol Police database and their intelligence, and they were using that intelligence against sitting members of Congress."

Troy Nehls Got Caught In The Crosshairs

Troy Nehls found out the hard way what happens when you criticize Democrat leadership.

The Texas Republican and former sheriff discovered Capitol Police officers had entered his office during Thanksgiving break 2021.

An officer snapped a photograph of his office whiteboard showing notes about pro-law enforcement legislation.

That photo went straight up the chain to Capitol Police intelligence analysts who filed a report citing "suspicious writings."

Then plainclothes officers showed up asking questions about the whiteboard without Nehls' permission.

"That is totally outside the realm of anything acceptable here," Loudermilk said about the Nehls search.

Nehls filed a $2.5 million lawsuit claiming the search violated his First and Fourth Amendment rights.

"I think that the Capitol Police, they found a few weaklings in there to go out there and spy — I will say 'spy' — and look into members of Congress that were very, very outspoken and critical of January 6," Nehls told the John Solomon Reports podcast.

The timing wasn't coincidental.

Nehls had been one of the most vocal critics of Capitol Police leadership and Nancy Pelosi's January 6 Select Committee.

"It just stinks to high heaven, but I believe I was a target," Nehls stated.

Sund Warned About Democrat Pressure On Intelligence Unit

Steven Sund resigned as Capitol Police Chief ten days after January 6.

But before he left, he faced constant pressure from Democrat leadership demanding access to the intelligence division.

"[W]e had, you know, people, senior staffers, like from Schumer's staff that wanted to be involved in intelligence briefing, wanted to have access into the Capitol Police Headquarters, specifically to be able to access into the intelligence unit," Sund revealed.

Sund pushed back while he was there.

His concern is what happened after he left.

"My concern is, what happened after January 6? You know, did these people then all of a sudden, now get involved? They're now on the intelligence calls, intelligence briefings, things like that. Now, are they using that for any political benefit?" Sund questioned.

Nobody knows for sure what changed after Sund resigned.

But the Nehls case shows Capitol Police intelligence operations took a disturbing turn under Democrat control.

The intelligence unit that Sund protected from political interference suddenly started investigating Republican members who criticized the January 6 narrative.

This Fits The Pattern Of Democrat Weaponization

Look at what we know happened with Arctic Frost.

The FBI opened that investigation in April 2022 — right when Trump announced he'd run again.

They targeted 160 Republicans connected to Trump using evidence from CNN interviews and liberal media reports.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley revealed Jack Smith subpoenaed records for over 400 Republican individuals and entities.

The FBI even tracked phone records of nine Republican Senators without their knowledge.

Now Loudermilk's investigation shows the same playbook was used inside Congress itself.

Democrats didn't just weaponize the FBI and DOJ against Trump and his allies.

They turned Capitol Police intelligence operations against Republican members of Congress who dared question the January 6 Select Committee's narrative.

"He was investigated as a member of Congress by the US Capitol Police, and I know he has litigation regarding that going right now, but I think this is just the tip of the iceberg of what may have been happening, not only in the Wray FBI, but under the Pelosi House of Representatives as well," Loudermilk said.

The Pelosi House weaponized every tool at their disposal.

Capitol Police spying on Republican offices is exactly what you'd expect from people who spent $20 million on a partisan January 6 show trial.

This wasn't about security.

This was about intimidation and political surveillance of the opposition party.
