Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Louie Gohmert and attorneys representing their clients have been locked out of the DC Correctional Facility while attempting to visit the January 6th prisoners. What are they trying to hide? "If correctional facilities will not allow members of Congress to visit them as part of their oversight responsibility, the facilities should lose funding." “We have seen that the FBI has a history of animating criminal conduct. That is precisely what happened in Michigan, and it may be what happened on January 6th as well.” Three days ago the Republicans sent a letter which went unanswered: “We have concerns about reports of the conditions of the prison where these detainees are being held and whether, in fact, there have been instances of abuse inflicted by other prisoners or guards. We also have questions regarding whether some have been or are currently being imprisoned in solitary confinement for the purpose of punishment or as a means of cruel and unusual punishment.” MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: "My colleagues and I were locked out of the Deplorable Jail! Members of Congress need to conduct oversight, yet our letters and calls get ignored. Then we get told we are trespassing. The American people deserve answers! It’s outrageous!!" A spokesperson for the D.C. Department of Corrections (DOC) said the trio showed up "unannounced with an unauthorized camera crew requesting a facility tour." Some 500 people are still being incarcerated in Washington DC & labeled as "terrorists" for simply "trespassing" at the US Capitol on January 6th - many of whom were INVITED in the door by the Capitol Police! This is 3rd world banana republic police state BS. One man named Paul Hodgkins was convicted of a felony and sentenced to 8 months in prison for simply taking selfies! U.S. Attorney Mona Sedky declared Hodgkins a “terrorist” for committing a thought crime and imagining a terrorist act - because he actually did NOT do anything! “The Government recognizes that Hodgkins did not personally engage in or espouse violence or property destruction. We concede that Mr. Hodgkins is not under the legal definition a domestic terrorist.” The judge agreed with Sedky and said that by carrying a Trump flag into the Capitol he was “declaring his loyalty to a single individual over the nation.” Give me a break! Eight months in prison is a ridiculously long sentence for standing on the floor of the “People’s House” and taking a photograph. It is also a ridiculously short sentence for a terrorist. If Hodgkins is really a terrorist, shouldn’t he be sent away for longer than eight months? I rest my case. http://TierneyRealNewsNetwork.com
