Reps. Chip Roy and Thomas Massie Demand Answers From Attorney General on Harsh Mistreatment of Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol Protesters

Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) have issued a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers on the mistreatment of Jan. 6 protesters who participated in the mostly-peaceful rally in and around the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.

“On May 12, you testified to the Senate Appropriations Committee that, ‘if there has to be a hierarchy of things that we prioritize, this would be the one we would prioritize because it is the most dangerous threat to our democracy,’” the letter explains.

“Respectfully, such a sweeping exaggeration can be viewed as nothing more than political hyperbole and a dangerous politicization of law enforcement activities that may punish those engaging in protected speech by lumping them in with those who committed acts of violence,” they added.

Roy and Massie are concerned that the feds are using Jan. 6 as a pretext to rip up the Bill of Rights and Constitution and bring the war on terror to the homeland to be used against American patriots.

“We continue to hear stories of overly aggressive and violent tactics from FBI agents executing arrest warrants on individuals with no risk of violence or who committed mere trespass offenses. And DOJ continues to push for pretrial incarceration of citizens with no history of, or propensity for, violence, only to be rebuffed by judges time and time again. The American people deserve to know why,” they wrote.

Roy and Massie are demanding answers from the feds by July 21 and want a briefing on the matter as well. They are far from the only lawmakers who are alarmed about federal overreach in the wake of Jan. 6.

Every single republican in government should be screaming fromthe rooftops about this!

[euram]

EVERY republican should be making the same demand instead of hiding under their desks quaking in fear of the Media-Dem Party and their henchman, Garland.

While they're at it, why not ask why Hunter, Hillary, Comey, Sharpton, et al are not in jail yet?

Putin Asks Reporter If US 'Assassinated' Ashli Babbitt!

Townhall.com ^ | June 15, 2021 | Leah Barkoukis

During an interview with NBC News, Putin said Russia was no worse than the United States in this regard, and used the government's handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as an example.

Putin showed flashes of defiance when he was asked whether it was a "coincidence" that several other political rivals had been assassinated in recent years.

"We don't have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody," Putin said when he was asked whether he ordered Navalny killed. (NBC News)

He then countered by asking whether the U.S. was guilty of assassinating Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot.

“Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin said. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that persecution for political opinions?”

"Someone needs to ask FBI liar, Chris Wray, how many of the US Capitol protesters were paid informants for the FBI?"

[qaz123]

Valiant effort that will go nowhere.

First question....where are these people being held?

The Feds don’t have facilities everywhere. In many cities they rent jail space from the locals.

It’d be nice to see some Republican Governors stepping in and getting vocal about it. Nahhhhhhh

[TakebackGOP]

They waited 6 months.

[Maris Crane]

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[teevolt]

Maybe we should identify them as Cuban to get the attention of the Republicans. On the serious side, good for Massie and Roy on this. I’m sure any corporate donors will now disappear. This action isn’t without consequence.

[jacknhoo]

Unbelievable how unimportant this has all been until recently. I guess the “polling” must be showing they’re all going to get voted against for not protecting Americans’ rights. A bunch of half-hearted grandstanding will take place for another 6 months while people’s lives are being destroyed as they’re used for political pawns. Disgusting.

[MayflowerMadam]

I’m glad they jumped right on that.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

“Every single republican in government should be screaming from the rooftops about this!”

Yep. The Republicans in congress are silent. Just like they were when Obama’s IRS was targeting the TEA party.

It can’t happen here has been happening here for the past seven Months and here we are pounding our Keyboards.

We now know the FBI is part of the Cabal and our Military Leaders, the DEMONCRAT Party and RINOS like Cheney and Romney think half the Country are Domestic Terrorists.

I guess our only hope is the 2022 Election, but it’s a long way off. That gives plenty of time for the DEMONCRATS to rig it. Even pResident Joseph Stolen admitted that it’s the Vote Counters who run the show, not the Legal Voters.

“I guess our only hope is the 2022 Election”

Dream on. They’re already conniving to fine new and improved ways to cheat. We have no hope, except God. And I feel He has kicked America to the curb.

[who knows what evil?]

America kicked God to the curb in 1963.

Read a good piece recently about the Thirty Tyrants of Athens. I think we’re really close to that.

[Truth29]

We are approaching the point where those who are protesting the treatment of political prisoners will themselves be sanctioned and then canceled. After they are canceled, the regime can lock you in a cage and torture you until you will confess to anything.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Read a good piece recently about the Thirty Tyrants of Athens. “

Is that about the “Battle Of Athens” in TN?
