What are they hiding....again?

Two days after being denied entrance into the Department of Justice and then chased away by protestors, four Republican lawmakers probing the conditions of the inmates arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol have been barred from a facility where some 50 of the prisoners are said to be held.

Reps Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) showed up at the DC Central Detention Facility the morning of July 29. The lawmakers have been inquiring into reports that those involved in the incursion into the Capitol have been severely beaten, held in solitary confinement, and denied access to evidence about their own cases.

The members of Congress were allowed into the lobby, but were quickly told by a corrections officer that they were trespassing.

“You’re obstructing,” the corrections officer could be heard saying on a live broadcast streamed by the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN).

My gosh, the government is upside down,” Gohmert said in response.

The corrections officer indicated to the members of Congress that her supervisor would speak to them outside. But when the lawmakers went outside, they found that they were then locked out of the building in what Gaetz called a “bait and switch.” Gaetz attempted to reenter the facility, but was denied—along with an attorney who was trying to enter to see a client.

“The supervisor came down, was standing right here, but she turned her back on me,” Gohmert said of the situation. “The other one won’t talk to me.”

Gohmert said he and his colleagues gave the facility advanced notice that they would be attending—he didn’t say how far in advance—but they never received a response. He said there shouldn’t be anything preventing members of Congress from examining the facilities over which they have oversight, as he has done numerous times in the past.

The GOP lawmakers expressed dismay at what they said were authoritarian tactics displayed by the Department of Justice and Washington DC Department of Corrections.

We’ve turned a corner. We’re in a totalitarian, Marxist territory here,” Gohmert told RSBN correspondent Liz Willis.

“The federal employees here spent more time taking videos and photos of us than they spent trying to give us the opportunity to do what members of Congress do every month of the year: to review a federal detention facility,” said Gaetz.

“If this is any indication of how they’re treating the prisoners inside, I’m very concerned,” added Greene.

The lawmakers left the facility to go vote on Capitol Hill. Around 1 p.m., they reconvened outside to talk to reporters and others about their experience that morning.

Gohmert proposed the idea of defunding federal facilities that don’t accept congressional oversight, and allocating those funds to local jurisdictions to house federal inmates.

The lawmakers’ failed attempt to enter the DC correction facility comes two days after they were also prohibited from entering the DOJ. On the afternoon of July 27, they held a brief press conference to list a number of unanswered questions they have about the January 6 inmates—before being run off by left-wing protestors.

Gohmert said they haven’t heard back from the DOJ since then, bringing their number of unanswered queries to the DOJ and corrections officials to at least seven.

“The AG and the head of the federal bureau of prisons cannot hide forever. Ultimately, if they won’t answer the door when we go to them, then they’re going to have to come to us,” Gaetz said. “That’s how Congress works.

“The longer they delay in answering these questions, the more suspicious it looks.”

It’s a fucking prison.  Since when do they let anyone just show up unannounced with no approval and do what they want?

At least a couple of the Reps are brave enough to try to ask some questions.

Typical commie dictator behavior. They release violent rapists from prison because of the fake RONA, release 50K rapist refugee's into the country without worry about fake RONA, and bust the balls of these petty criminals while handing violent BLM a "peace prize".  ::)

If libtardz had brains they would just shit them out anyways.

That doesn't mean these clowns can just show up and demand entry
I'm sure there are a bunch of protocols and requirements that they have to follow (which no doubt they didn't)

I'm even going to bother attempting to explain it to you

A spokeswoman for the D.C. Department of Corrections said in a statement that the members of Congress arrived “unannounced with an unauthorized camera crew requesting a facility tour.

“By doing so, these officials compromised safety and security operations at the DOC,” the spokeswoman said, adding that all visitors, including public officials, must comply with visitation rules.

Aside from the people attacking each other instead of addressing the actual issue, isn't anyone even the least bit curious about the prison conditions? 

I'm definitely curious now, especially after I started reading Andy Ngo's book "Unmasked" about ANTIFA.  Countless anarchists have been arrested, released, and had their charges dropped.  We're talking tons of crimes far more serious than what happened on 6 January.

You stupid ass little midget.... the point of it comes down to they didn't have APPROVAL to visit.  Pretty sure it requires... oh I don't know what it is called in Retard Land,...  but the rest of us call it an appointment.  You don't just swing by a prison like it's grandma's house unannounced.

You really put a lot of work into becoming stupid didn't you?
