Gaetz, Green and Gohmert turned away from jail to visit Jan. 6 defendants

Source: The Hill

Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Majorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Louie Gohmert (Texas) on Thursday were turned away from the D.C. Department of Corrections where they tried to visit accused Jan. 6 rioters.

Video on Thursday shows officers, who said the group was trespassing and "obstructing entrance into this facility," denying the trio entry.

"The supervisor came down and was standing right here and turned her back on me. The other one said she won't talk anymore and that we're trespassers," Gohmert said in comments to the press after the situation.

"We're in totalitarian, Marxist territory here. This is the way third-world people get treated," he added.

First of all, you cannot show up at the door and be expected to be let into a prison. All that has to be cleared in advance and they check out who you are, what your record is, etc. Obviously they did not do this. The prison's stated motivation is security.

Second, on one of the clips (I believe it was Gaetz) they said they were an attorney there to see a client. The attorney for each prisoner is a matter of record. That information has to be sent in via paperwork in advance. You cannot just show up claiming to be a prisoner's attorney.

Duh. What a bunch of dufuses.

and sadly, the country is full of them, although Covid seems to be paring their numbers down somewhat.

At this point, I doubt the prisoners wanted to see three drooling propagandists, anyway, listening to those assholes is what put them into jail in the first place.

I know, let's get 3 of the WORST human beings in Congress, make up some horseshit about political prisoner abuse, and it will grab more media attention than the Jan 6th hearings. Sounds like a GQP idea.

Justice matters.

The three needed to get to their cohorts and tell them do not flip on us or we can’t fight to get you freed. Rat us out, you get no help. We got Nancy cornered and Fox has AmurKKKa working to end this whole sham. We will get you out August 13th, just hang tight and keep quite.

Really, when are these subhuman scum going to be ejected from the house and hopefully arrested?
