August 11, 2021 – Judicial Watch obtains documents on death investigation of Capitol Police officer Sicknick – Media pressured ME on natural causes conclusion

Judicial Watch announced today that it received an additional 2,440 pages of records related to the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick which show major media representatives pressuring the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of the District of Columbia over its conclusion that Officer Sicknick had died of natural causes.

On April 20, one day after Officer Sicknick’s autopsy results were released, CNN reporter Jen Christensen emailed the medical examiner’s office, asking “how someone could die of natural causes after a traumatic event.”

In an April 20 email to the medical examiner’s office, reporter Sarah Mimms of BuzzFeed News presses for “clarity” on the death determination: “I’m really pressing on clarity here not only because of the importance of this case but also because USCP and the Justice Department initially said that Officer Sicknick died due to injuries he sustained at the Capitol. [Emphasis in original] We want to be accurate, which may mean updating those original stories about how he died, if the ME [medical examiner] can clarify this key point.”

Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the medical examiner’s office denied a February 16, 2021, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (No. 2021 CA 000875 B)). Judicial Watch asked for:

All records, including but not limited to autopsy reports, toxicology reports, notes, photographs, and OCME [medical examiner] officials’ electronic communications, related to the death on January 6, 2021 of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and its related investigation.

Pressure from this lawsuit helped lead to the April disclosure that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes.

On February 7, Dr. Brent Harris, Director of Neuropathology at Georgetown University Hospital, emailed D.C. Medical Examiner Dr. Sasha Breland, saying, “Sasha, here’s the draft for your rush case and a paper I found on the topic. Take a look and let me know your thoughts.” The attached paper was titled, “Basilar artery thrombosis after cervical injury 2010.”

On January 8, medical examiner investigator Leigh Fields Broadbent emailed medical examiner colleagues regarding the Sicknick case, saying, “Accepted: 21-00132> Please contact Special Agent Riley, FBI [redacted] regarding the start time of the autopsy. He will be waiting in his car outside the building by 0730-0800 hrs regardless. DONE – he and the US Attorney will be coming down btwn 0900-0930 hrs. MPD will present btwn 0800-0830hrs.”

Dr. Samantha Tolliver, the Chief Toxicologist for the medical examiner’s office, indicated that a “draft report” had been completed in the Sicknick death investigation on February 17.

A “preliminary toxicology report” on Sicknick was completed by March 2, 2021.

Of the 10 outlets that filed FOIA requests seeking Officer Sicknick’s autopsy report, as of March 25, according to the medical examiner’s office’s talking points, all 10 were denied, but only Judicial Watch appealed the denial.

Following the submission of Judicial Watch’s appeal, DC General Counsel Rodney Adams emailed chief medical examiner Dr. Francisco Diaz, and copying the medical examiner’s special assistant Cheryle Adams and Chief of Staff Beverly Fields, saying: “And the celebration was short lived … A Judicial Watch reporter has immediately appealed my denial of his request for the case file of Off. Brian Sicknick who died during the Jan. 6th riot at the Capitol. We have several other reporters requesting it as well.” [Note: Officer Sicknick died at the hospital on January 7, not “during the January 6 riot at the Capitol.”]

On March 31, medical examiner Francisco Diaz emailed medical examiner official Anna Francis, saying, “Can you please restrict access to E-file in this case,” referring to the Sicknick investigation. Francis replied, “What groups should be eliminated? These are the only groups that have access to the entire decedent file. Files are not in a completed state until released. Investigations, Medical Examiners, Terencia Davenport, QC-n-RecMgmt. Let me know. Mike restricts the images.” Diaz replied, “Please restrict access to you, me and Dr. Breland.”

On April 8, medical examiner general counsel Rodney Adams sent a ‘high importance’ email to medical examiner colleagues Francis, Diaz, Cheryle Adams and Beverly Fields advising them of a “litigation hold” notice and that “FYI … Judicial Watch has filed suit to obtain the Off. Sicknick case file. [Redacted].”

On April 19, Breland, who handled Officer Sicknick’s autopsy, advised Det. Joshua Branson that the information regarding stroke as the cause of death of Officer Sicknick was conveyed to the officer’s mother and girlfriend on the afternoon of April 19, after Branson emailed Breland, asking, “Have y’all ruled on the Sicknick case yet? The FBI just called me saying the family received a call from the [medical examiner’s office] stating that his death was ruled a natural.”

“These documents show the major media questioning the DC medical examiner’s conclusion that Officer Brian Sicknick died from natural causes,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The emails read as if the left media had an interest in pressing the false narrative that Officer Sicknick was killed by protestors.”

Officer Sicknick died on January 7, one day after the breach of the U.S. Capitol building. Between the time of Sicknick’s death and the April 19 release of the autopsy results that found he died of natural causes, Democrats and the media continually pushed the narrative that Sicknick had died from injuries suffered during the Capitol breach. Initial reports from The New York Times and other media outlets about the cause of Officer Sicknick’s death have subsequently been corrected and revised.

Judicial Watch is conducting an extensive investigation into the January 6 events in Washington D.C.

August 30, 2021- Ex-presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama team up, form NGO to help fly illegal aliens to US

While President Joe Biden has been at the forefront of undermining national sovereignty by failing to address the border crisis, a number of former presidents have reportedly joined up behind the scenes to fly more migrants to the United States — and their group has ties to terrorist organizations.

In 2021 [August 30th], the Biden administration oversaw the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that not only cost the lives of 13 American military service members but also stranded tens of thousands of Afghans as control of the country fell back to the Taliban. At the time, former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama teamed together to form a nongovernmental organization (NGO) to help resettle some of those 85,000, and now they’re working to expand their operation.

Teaming with their NGO, Welcome.US, American Express Global Business Travel, and Miles4Migrants, the presidents are aiming to help relocate people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Ukraine and Venezuela.

“Our commitment to upholding human rights and dignity by removing travel barriers for forced migrants around the world is stronger than ever,” the Miles4Migrants website reads. “Miles4Migrants and Welcome.US have partnered with American Express Global Business travel, to make travel more accessible to Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, Ukrainians, and Nicaraguans seeking refuge in the United States.”

As previously reported, Welcome.US is a part of the Office of American Possibilities which, in addition to the presidents, includes former first lady Michelle Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter as honorary co-chairs.

Connected to the initiative, launched to aid in relocating some of the Afghans who were brought into the United States after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, was billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, which has been suspected of financially supporting Palestinian terrorist organizations.

“Donations are needed to fund the flights for newcomers to travel to the United States,” the Welcome.US website said. “Those forced to flee often leave behind all but what they can carry, and the costs of international travel can be prohibitive.”

“Welcome Connect Travel removes the cost of travel as a barrier for both sponsors in the United States and the displaced families they are supporting through humanitarian sponsorship,” they further explained.

Funding the travel from the various nations will facilitate the planned parole of some 360,000 individuals that Biden made accommodations for in his border plan outlined during this year’s State of the Union address that he claimed brought down “unlawful migration…97 percent.”

Further compounding the danger that this program posed to the United States, on top of the already malicious globalist entities and corporations backing it, was the fact that last week at the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing on Afghanistan, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan (SIGAR) John Sopko testified, “As I sit here today, I cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban.” (Read more: BizPac Review, 4/26/2023) (Archive)
