Yesterday PJ Media<\/a> posted an article about an incident at the federal lockup facility in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Louis Gohmert and Paul Gosar showed up at the federal lockup facility currently housing roughly 50 January 6 detainees in order to inspect the conditions of the political prisoners. They were looking into accusations of mistreatment, including being denied access to lawyers, beatings, and solitary confinement. They were denied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The same four reps attempted to meet Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss the treatment of the January 6 detainees last Tuesday, but they were not allowed in the building. They held a brief presser, which was shut down by commies after about 20 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GOP reps have sent a combined six letters to Garland asking to meet with him. When all letters went unanswered, they took matters into their own hands and stopped by the DOJ for a visit. Today, they decided to stop by the hoosegow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The GOPers and an entourage of staffers and media attempted to gain access but didn\u2019t get past the lobby. One guard accused them of trespassing and \u201cobstructing\u201d the entrance, to which Gohmert replied, \u201cWe are the people that vote on whether or not to fund you, and at what level, and we are trespassing? My gosh, the government is upside down.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWe are cleared for top secret, and we do inspect facilities and I\u2019ve never, ever, in the years I\u2019ve been in Congress, ever run into an issue like this, until this administration took over, and this speaker took over.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Gohmert compared the treatment of BLM and Antifa to the January 6 prisoners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so egregious to think about the people that have burned looted, destroyed\u2013being immediately released,\u201d Gohmert stated. \u201cWhereas here we are understanding they [January 6 detainees] aren\u2019t being shown the evidence against them, the specific charges. We\u2019d like to see the conditions, how people are being treated here.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is banana-republic stuff. People need to be removed from office for preventing Congressional oversight. If after the Congressional oversight, unacceptable conditions are found, more people need to be removed from office.<\/p>\n
