Several employees of Stephen Colbert’s show were arrested last month for unlawfully entering the US Capitol and harassing GOP lawmakers.
On Thursday night several CBS employees who work for Colbert’s late-night show were arrested in the US Capitol, trespassing after hours, and HARASSING GOP lawmakers.
The US Capitol was closed at the time.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) let the insurrectionists in the building.
The group of leftist insurrectionists reportedly banged on doors of several Republican offices – including that of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Lauren Boebert of Colorado.
The US Attorney’s Office announced that they are cleared of “unlawful entry” and the charges are now dropped.
From the U.S. Atty's office: "We do not believe it is probable that the Office would be able to obtain and sustain convictions on these charges"

Here is the full release:
“After a comprehensive review of all the evidence and the relevant legal authority, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has determined that it cannot move forward with misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry against the nine individuals who were arrested on June 16, 2022 at the Longworth Office Building. The individuals, who entered te building on two separate occasions, were invited by Congressional staffers to enter the building in each instance and were never asked to leave by the staffers who invited them, though, members of the group had been told at various points by the US Capitol police that they were supposed to have an escort. The office would be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these invited guests were guilty of the crime of unlawful entry because their escort chose to leave them unattended. We do not believe it is probable that the office would be able to obtain and sustain convictions on these charges. The defendants no longer will be required to appear for a scheduled hearing in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on July 20, 2022.”
President Donald Trump responded by blasting the decision saying that Colbert’s staffers “were treated so differently than the Unselects are treating so many of our great American Patriots.” He ended by calling the decision “NOT FAIR!”
Wow! Prosecutors have just dropped all charges against ratings challenged Colbert Show staffers, who entered the Capitol illegally, disregarded police warnings, wouldn’t leave the premises, and were very loud and disruptive late into the evening, with no security present as is mandated by law. These Radical Left lunatics, from a failing show, were treated so differently than the Unselects are treating so many of our great American Patriots. NOT FAIR!
The double standard of justice continues.
That’s because it was political.
Proof that the Jan 6 people are POLITICAL PRISONERS!
The GOP needs to grow a pair, cowboy up and start an investigation of this INSURRECTION by the extreme far left.
Democrat Party runs a banana republic.
After decades of watching the GOP, I’ve come to the realization that they’re NEVER going to grow a pair.
I often fantasize about how different America would be now if Pat Buchanan had won the presidency.
He, Reagan and Trump loved America and couldn’t be pushed around.
Gop grow a pair? HAHAHAHAHAHA! The only way any rino gets a set is though a surgical procedure called “Primarying”. Repeat as necessary until the desired result is reached.
Reagan’s great mistake was not taking Paul Laxalt as his VP. Laxalt was who Reagan wanted. But he caved to GOP Establishment pressure and took Bush instead. He should have dumped Bush in 1984.
Ya think?
Anyone who is surprised that the mass of zombies occupying the Left would treat their own differently needs to face reality.
The world has gone bat guano crazy...and it ain't coming back!
AssumingTrump does not have another election solen, how does he clean house of all the commies beurocrat? Can’t move all agencies to North Dakota and Alaska.
Solen=stolen
The Left didn't just steal an election, they stole the entire government and have brainwashed a big chunk of the electorate (not a majority but a very loud and powerful minority).
No one has explained why and how Ray Epps was quickly exonerated like Colbert’s boys.
Imagine now it was Trucker or Hannity staff who were caught and charged? They would get life in solitare
The reins of power in our country have been taken over by the communists. Do you honestly think they feel obligated to explain ANYTHING?
The GOP, needs to grow pair, Cowboy up, and bring back the House Un-American Activities Committe.
You know it. The entirety of Fox News would be identified as a terrorist organization and prosecuted under the RICO Act.
Trump’s protesters are hostages - and they’re treated as such.
They were treated differently because...
They are the favored political party
We are currently in a civil war
The left is building a dystopia when we will be hunted and eliminated in a genocide
They are, at the moment, winning.
These are all the truths that everyone reading these words know.
Watchoo mean WE? You mean the ones you didn’t pardon?
