Four Republican members of Congress --- Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar --- walked to the doorstep of the Department of “Justice” headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue at midday Tuesday to express their concerns about treatment of those jailed for participating in the Capitol Hill “breach” on January 6. They had serious unanswered questions for Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The doors of the DOJ building were closed to them. The members of Congress were not allowed inside.

But guess what happened? Some leftist protesters showed up who seemed to take their inspiration from January 6th. No doubt the only reason they didn’t “breach” the DOJ headquarters themselves is that the doors had been shut to keep out the Republicans. Would those leftist protesters have been tossed into sweaty jail cells and held without bail for three months (and counting)? I think we know the answer to that question.

It was only a matter of minutes before the four Republicans speaking outside the entrance were swarmed by leftist protesters, one of them incessantly blowing a shrill whistle to keep them from being heard from their podium.

The Right Side Broadcasting Network aired their press conference live, not knowing, of course, what it was going to turn into. So now we can see from their recording the lengths to which intolerant, idiotic leftist protesters will go to shut down attempts at reasoned discussion. Video starts about 30 minutes before the press conference begins, but this time is used by reporter Liz Willis to read the letter to AG Garland and give some background, detailing some truly horrific allegations of beatings and denial of sleep and medical care.

Note: their video was removed from YouTube, but as far as we know, you’ll still be able to see it in its entirety here. If sometime between this writing and your attempted viewing it has been taken down, C-Span should have it.

As soon as Greene took to the podium and started asking substantive questions, the loud, piercing whistle started, and it never let up. “We’re here standing up for due process,” Gohmert said as the whistle shrieked nonstop. Gohmert is a former defense attorney and Texas district judge, so fighting for due process and other basic civil rights has been an integral part of his career. He said that when he was a judge, he used to make unannounced visits to jails to make sure the conditions weren’t abusive.

Matt Gaetz spoke through the whistle as well, pointing out that Antifa “set fire to this country for months” when law enforcement didn’t seem to be concerned about that.

Rep. Gosar (yes, through the interminable whistle) called for all 1400 hours of security tapes from that day at the Capitol Building to be released and for all those taken into custody to have their due process rights respected.

Leftist protesters edged closer and started circling, to the concern of staffers and security personnel. To interrupt the press conference, they simply invaded, walking right up to the podium area and causing participants to scatter.

I hope you will listen through the headache-inducing whistle; they used this appalling tactic it to try to keep anyone from hearing. As it went on, they also used drums, horns and other instruments along with the whistle to prevent the members of Congress from speaking. They did manage to speak for about 15 minutes, mostly to stress that they were there to get answers concerning January 6.

As THE EPOCH TIMES has reported, “According to numerous reports, January 6 inmates have been beaten, held in solitary confinement, and denied access to evidence about their own cases.” The attorney general should provide thorough answers to questions on this, but he has responded with silence for months.

“To the guy who’s blowing the whistle, we are not deterred,” Taylor Greene finally said. They were there to ask questions, she said. It was at that point that the leftists stormed the podium and created a situation that made them have to leave. Cars were blocking traffic, and a loud band with crashing cymbals played as well.

As it turned out, the loud whistle-blower interrupting the speeches was standing directly behind the reporter and refused to stop when he was asked. She said after the event that her ears were still ringing. That’s “the intolerant left,” she said. “You’re being censored if you’re a conservative,” she said.

I would encourage you to watch the entire video, as there are some great comments from onlookers after the event ended. “These savages, they belong in jail,” said one onlooker after the speakers dispersed. She called for an investigation of what Nancy Pelosi knew about plans for the Capitol breach before it happened.

Another bystander called for interested persons to contact their representatives for an appointment to tour jail facilities where detainees were being held. She said that in one facility, the temperature had reached 114 degrees. We would add that during the winter it was freezing --- that’s how long these people have been detained! There have been reports of beatings, and of at least one detainee losing an eye in one.

THE EPOCH TIMES has a “premium” report of today’s event.

On the same day this happened, the hearings called for by Speaker Nancy Pelosi into the events of January 6 began, with an extremely dramatic depiction of what happened from the point of view of the Capitol Hill police. Republican committee member Adam Kinzinger of Illinois got all choked up. California Rep. Adam Schiff also appeared to weep at one point (right), and a staff member was handing out Kleenex. Tucker Carlson had a field day with this on Tuesday night.

Here are more highlights –- or perhaps I should say lowlights.

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/pelosis-sham-hearings-on-jan-6-capitol-protest-are-even-more-staged-and-nauseating-than-expected/

We'll have more on this as it unfolds. If only it could be a nonpartisan attempt at fact-finding, but it won’t be. Recall that Pelosi rejected two of the Republican choices for committee members (a first), Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana. Pelosi says the “bipartisan” panel “will pursue the truth,” but I have no confidence that it will do so, as that is not its purpose

A real investigation would do what that bystander at DOJ headquarters suggested: find out what Pelosi herself knew and why she didn’t order even the barest security, when President Trump had offered her the National Guard and essentially anything she wanted. We also deserve to know more about the killing of Ashli Babbitt, but what do you think are the odds of that?

    It’s obvious that the Marxist Democrats organized the illegal gang of whistle-blowing thugs to stop the law-abiding speeches of Senators and Congressmen. Since the DC police are afraid to stop these gangs, it is time for good citizens to come together with Citizen militias to combat the Marxist flash mobs and stop them with measured violent tactics. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. Now is the time for war.

    Isn’t there a noise ordinance in DC? If that kind of noise was created in any other city the police would have rapidly been there to shut it down. Also, did the noisy group have a permit to gather there? Talk about “insurrection “!

    Thanks for all you do to help preserve the integrity of this great nation. Reading the account of the most left idiots and their actions makes me so concerned, uneasy, and actually frightened. Mike, you do a great job here. I am still hopeful that you can get back on the radio to fill the void left by the death of Rush. Maybe that's not part of your ambition, but you would be great at it. I am hopeful for Sara Sanders in her run for Ar. governor. She is the best. Thanks, Mr. Huckabee.

    What too many Americans do not realize is that we are in a war. I say give 2022 a chance.
    If they cheat again than my advice is
    work to take back control of LOCAL and STATE Governments and tell DC to go ... you know.
    Also start HomeSchooling kids if you have any;
    get back to BIBLE Preaching Churches;
    Like Entertainment? Stick with the old Classics and modern Christian Films and TV.
    Other than that -- learn to shoot.
    Live Laugh Love
    and if that doesn't work
    Load Aim and Fire.
    we want our American back -- but we might have to start from scratch.
    And if that means Secession -- so be it.

    Dear Mike; I would like to post this to several groups I participate in online if that is permissible. I do not know how to post your articles to Facebook. Maybe someone from your staff could reply to this email with some guidance. Thank you. Mike Moody

    Four members of Congress were holding a press conference, so where were the Capitol Police? Are they not there to protect not only the Capitol building but the members of the two chambers therein?

    Hello, sorry to change any subjects. I'm a far right conservative. Every day I read your column and enjoy it very much, but I realized today that's all I do is read. I read about how the left did this and the left did that. The sorry thing here is, at least they did something. What are we doing? Talk, talk, talk. Why do the crazy left think they can do what ever they want? Because they can and they know they can get away with it. They have gotten away with so many terrible things I think maybe we have been buried up to our necks with tolerance that we won't be able to get out. On the 22nd we're hoping for victory by taking back the house, but what if they cheat again and win? What's the plan, man? We need to stop talking and really hurt the left with a big blow before the disgusting left can think of more crap to do to us. I'm a discouraged American and I want my America back!

    Enough is enough! One would almost start to wonder if the Left have their protesting foot soldiers on speed dial, ready to mobilize at a moments notice whenever a conservative/republican speaker attempts to talk and ask legitimate questions. The leftist clown show needs to pack-up their personal belongings, and vacate the permises currently operating under the laughable title of the halls of "justice".

    When we look at January 6, I argue we are still asking the wrong question, we need to ask. Why are Democrats terrified by the actions on January 6, but not by actions of BLM? The first difference can be seen on January 6 after curfew was declared and everyone just went home. News video after that point looked like a ghost town, do BLM or Antifa act this way? The difference is the message each group is sending. BLM and Antifa message is they want free stuff, they want to walk into your store and take it by force, or have the government take it from you and give it to them. The message of Patriots on January 6 is, our eyes have been opened and we reject rule by Progressive Agencies that are not accountable to the people’s vote.
    Through this “pandemic” we recognize how Congress has given away the people’s rights and imposed Progressive (bureaucratic) agencies as our form of government. These agencies make their own laws, enforce those law, and set up their own courts to judge themselves. Your story shows a perfect example, when elected Congressmen are barred from entering the lobby of an agency, were does that put the authority of the people they represent?
    The American people have been too trusting with the “New Deal’ and “The Great Society” but the Genie is out of the bottle and the detriment to ourselves and our country is seen by all. The Democrats will stop at nothing to force the Genie back in the bottle but if you want a Republic of the people we must not let them. This is what keeps them up at night and brings them to tears.
    The question now turns to us, change will be slow, are you in for the long haul or through apathy and fear ready to let our country be controlled by faceless agencies? To paraphrase Hamilton, will we choose government by reflection and choice or by accident and force?

    A lot very good insightful info in your article, and some good comments here. But I don’t think anything will change, as badly as it needs to be. Just look at voting patterns across the country. The worst states and cities are democrat controlled, for decades. As we watch their decent into third world status the people continually kept voting for more chaos. But why, because of their political affiliations. The 2022 elections will go the same way, people are stuck in their mindset that their party is the right way to go, regardless of outcomes for the greater population of said state or city. When George Washington left office after his second term as President, a term he did not want to serve, he warned the country then of the dangers of political parties,”POLITICAL PARTIES ARE NOT ABOUT SERVING, THEY ARE ABOUT POWER” thus look at where we are 245 years later. POLITICAL PARTIES ARE THE DOWNFALL OF THIS COUNTRY
