Surprise!!

Federal prosecutors said Monday they have declined to bring charges against nine people associated with CBS’ “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” who were arrested in a building in the U.S. Capitol complex last month.

The decision, made by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, comes after prosecutors determined they “cannot move forward” with the misdemeanor charges against the nine people arrested June 16 in the Longworth House Office Building. The incident followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said it was not probable a conviction could be obtained and sustained given that the nine arrested had been invited and that their escorts had never asked them to leave the building.

Is selective prosecution allowed in defense?

Ain’t this unequal two tier justice system just marvelous.

Looks like it’s time for another civil rights movement but this time it’s not color, race, or gender.

It’s ideology.

If the January 6th people did what the late show did, they’d not be in jail. Most are in jail for destruction of government property or stealing it. Kinda different situation.

Every one of them destroyed government property? Not that you said that specifically.

I find that hard to believe on all of them.

I certainly not saying that but the serious long term jailed most likely did more then roam around the capital.
