House Republicans have named the congressional aide to Rep. Jake Auchincloss, Massachusetts Democrat, who allowed TV’s Stephen Colbert’s comedy crew into one of the House office buildings after hours.
Republicans said Tuesday that Auchincloss Chief of Staff Tim Hysom was responsible for letting seven producers and staffers of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” back into the House Longworth Building last week after U.S. Capitol Police directed the TV crew to leave the complex earlier in the day.
Rep. Rodney Davis, Illinois Republican and ranking member of the House Administration Committee, said he is 100% sure Mr. Hysom is the main staffer who coordinated the events that night for the Colbert team.
Auchincloss spokesman Matt Corridoni denied that his office was involved in letting in the Colbert team.
“The congressman had a scheduled interview with CBS, as did other members of Congress,” he said in a statement. “Our contact with them ended well before the building closed for the evening. We do not condone any inappropriate activity and cannot speak to anything that occurred after hours.”
Mr. Hysom has worked for Mr. Auchincloss, a first-term lawmaker, since he took office in January 2021.
However, he worked for other Democratic members of Congress including Rep. Adam Schiff of California. He was Mr. Schiff’s district deputy director in 2011 and 2012, and also served him between 2003 and 2006, as his legislative correspondent and later a legislative aide.
Mr. Schiff is now a panel member of the select committee holding hearings related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

So staffers can allow anyone in anytime. That’s real safe.
Maybe they are only allowed to let insurrectionists in. 🤗
“Let in” like a significant number of the Jan 6 protesters? It was no defense for them, so we should expect to see Colbert’s staff in solitary confinement. What? Released you say? Impossible!

“The U.S. Capitol Police issued citations for those arrested last week, charging them with unlawful entry into a building. All were released and are to appear on July 20 in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia”
If they were MAGA they would have been shot.
Same guy who vandalized property of congresswoman.

Obviously, no laws were broken. They are Democrats after all. Laws only penalize Republicans.
Didn’t I nail it? Isn’t this true?
“Tim Hysom” is “happy”
As are most of the rest of us on a daily basis.
That is what I was going to say. And the DOJ is not pressing charges. The Evil left is fully protected.
Would be nice if we had discovered the SCOTUS leaker this quickly (we still don’t know)...
If Tim Hysom does not get punished, he will continue to do things like this in the near future.
“Same guy who vandalized property of congresswoman”
Needs to be thrown in a padded cell for psych evaluation, then terminated.
Here is the is lil’ Timmy “backdoor” Hysom and his little me lover.
He cannot be allowed to risk the safety of others in any government building again.
Good point.
Hysom...
Isn’t he the jackwagon screwing with MTG posters?
So the loon was triggered by MTG’s signs? Needs to be fired. He’s not stable.
Yes.
BTW: Auchincloss is part of the Kennedy family. Jackie Kennedy’s mother married an Auchincloss after she divorced Jacies father
. So this kid is likely his great grandson.
