I have been rep'ng @CapitolPolice Ofc #HarryDunn for 5 months & during that time he appeared in many interviews to discuss his #Jan6th experience. Only once did he receive a hostile msg UNTIL @TuckerCarlson's monologue last night. Then things changed.
2/In wake of that rant on @Foxnews, numerous vile/racist msgs have been sent to Ofc Dunn. Many msgs specifically cite Carlson. I've experienced this before. During 1st Trump impeachment when I rep'd IC #whistleblower, death threats didn't arrive until right-wing pundits spoke out
"Tonight #FoxNews allowed its host #TuckerCarlson, who has not served a day in uniform, whether military or law enforcement, to criticize the heroism and service of African-American U.S. Capitol Police Officer #HarryDunn.
3/Our client has served 13 years in law enforcement and on January 6, 2021, fought against an insurrectionist violent crowd - no doubt many of them Carlson's supporters - to protect the lives of our elected officials, including Vice President #Pence.
@StateDept OIG has issued final report: complete VINDICATION.
Statement below.
2/We were pleased to work alongside of @GovAcctProj, particularly attny @davidseide, who also represented senior exec. GAP's press release can be read here:
3/USAGM was fed agency torn apart by Trump loyalists incl #MichaelPack, #MoraNamdar, #EmilyNewman & others. They were to "drain the swamp". They WERE the swamp. In 30 years practicing law in DC, I have never seen such arrogance & vitriolic from so many.
