As required BY LAW, the January 6th plaque to honor the Capitol Police who defended democracy, is no where to be found. Literally, its whereabouts are unknown.
Mike Johnson refuses to install it, and the DOJ is seeking to dismiss the officer’s lawsuit requesting it be displayed.

But men who bribed him put it over the finish line.
