Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin released a letter that was supposedly from the USCP (United States Capitol Police), and it turns out that the letter isn't even proven authentic! That didn't stop the mainstream media hawks from grabbing onto it and running with their fake news stories.
From Raskin's office: "Attached is a letter from unnamed officers (who remain anonymous because they are afraid of retribution for speaking out) about their profound disappointment in the current politics surrounding the vote on the January 6th commission."

The USCP has responded with a statement saying the letter is "NOT an official USCP statement. The Department has no way of confirming it was even authored by USCP personnel."

lil scoop: It was Rep. Jamie Raskin's office that circulated that letter from members of the USCP moments ago.

From @RepRaskin's chief: "Mr. Raskin is hoping your bosses will read this letter, and consider the sentiments behind it, before the vote."
