Post-impeachment, NYT retracts story about Officer Sicknick killed by Trumpster with fire extinguisher

American Thinker:

By Monica Showalter

Somewhere out there, there’s an amazingly sinister story to be told about what happened in the series of events on Jan. 6 leading up to impeachment.

Because fresh after the slapdash, failed second impeachment of President Trump, the New York Times has withdrawn the rawest element of its story: the anonymously sourced claim that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was killed by one of President Trump’s supporters who hurled a fire extinguisher at him.  Trump, recall, was declared “a murderer” for it, with “Trump’s legal exposure questioned” for it, as USAToday reported

Here’s how bad that New York Times retraction was, as reported by Red State:

If you search for the original NYT story today, you find the following “Note” now at the top:

UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police. more

  1. “…As Revolver reports, there’s been no Justice Department report. No autopsy. Sicknick’s remains were swiftly cremated, meaning no additional autopsies, no additional questions, and maybe someone wanted it that way…”

    CCP’s version of Arkancide. Sicknick joins a long list of uninvestigated political murders.

  2. The problem is that if this man died for some other reason than the initial lie, you will run out of vocal chords trying to educate the imbeciles that believe the fire extinguisher story.

    If he was killed by a militant leftist infiltrator, no one will tell the real story. Furthermore, big tech will censor censor censor.

    unbelievable that the body was cremated under these circumstances so quickly.

  3. If the media and the Obama administration had been even half as interested in the death of Brian Terry we might actually get some Justice.

    But that is not what the FBI, et al, are about. This is just another example of it.

  4. On a different subject, have you seen the many, many stories about how nat gas is causing tx to not have power?

    Turns out there is more to the story. Tx went green and installed wind turbines to generate power and over half of them are frozen solid and are producing no power.

    All the articles leave that part out. That the green energy scam is playing a very large role in this power outage.

    In Germany it is the same. Germany is having severe power problems because of their effort to go green and the cold weather is fking it all up.

  5. “Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?”

    It was a damning question, put to the media in 1987 by Raymond Donovan, the former Secretary of Labor who was indicted on corruption charges for his work with a construction company accused of having mob ties. The media had a field day with Donovan. After all, it wasn’t every day you could paint a Reagan cabinet member as a mafia stooge.

    Trouble was, the charges against Donovan didn’t hold up. Not only that, Donovan’s attorneys actually never put up a defense. They rested their case without calling a single witness, saying the prosecution failed to prove Donovan did anything wrong. The jury agreed, and Donovan walked out a free man.

    Anybody starting to notice a pattern here? The Democrats accuse someone, their willing accomplices in the media smear the person’s reputation and neither suffer any consequences
