Michelle Malkin directs us to the latest development in the Cynthia McKinney saga.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has obtained the official police report, regarding the McKinney incident and reports:

The official police report on Rep. Cynthia McKinney's clash with a Capitol Hill police officer three weeks ago says the DeKalb County congresswoman struck the officer "in his chest with [a] closed fist."

The "event report" — obtained Tuesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution — describes the altercation as an assault on a police officer.

The officer involved in the incident, identified as Paul McKenna, filed the report with his supervisors immediately after the incident occurred at 8:55

a.m. March 29.

The report for the first time provides specific details of what happened when McKenna tried to stop McKinney from going around a security checkpoint at a House office building.

There had previously been reports that McKinney "stabbed" the officer with a cellphone or that she slapped McKenna with an open hand.

McKinney said she was the victim of racial profiling and that the officer had touched her inappropriately when he tried to stop her.

As for the legal angle on this...

The decision as to whether McKinney will be charged remains in the hands of a grand jury in Washington.

U.S. Attorney Ken Wainstein turned the matter over to the grand jury two weeks ago. Chuck Canterbury, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he met last week with McKenna and asked him to consider filing a lawsuit against McKinney.

Canterbury also called on McKinney to apologize directly to McKenna.

I'm not sure what the delay in charging this woman is. She has a history of altercations with Capitol Hill police, a history of calling "racism" any time she doesn't get her way, even though she's the racist who says things like:

"I am absolutely sick and tired of having to have my appearance at the White House validated by white people,"

But what it all boils down to is, did she hit a cop? The answer at this point seems to be without question, yes! I'm not a legal expert, but it seems that there's at least enough here for an indictment. My gut feeling tells me that everyone is trying to find another way out because anyone involved in bringing the indictment is going to have to feel the fury of all the black hate groups (New Black Panthers, etc.) and the shakedown brothers Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and the rest of the usual suspects. They'll all try their hardest to turn this in to some civil rights issue or at least they'd like to. On second thought, perhaps many of them have seen that defending this will only make them all look worse than they already do. The Washington Democratic leadership clearly wants nothing to do with her. Others would be wise to follow suit.
