Lawmakers will demand answers on the arrest of several employees of late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert at the Capitol Thursday when Congress resumes next week, a leading Republican told Fox News.
Days after Democrats on the House January 6 Committee called on Rep. Barry Loudermilk's, R-Ga, to answer questions about a tour he gave the day before the Capitol riot, several people, including CBS employees who work Colbert's late-night program were arrested for unlawful entry to the complex.
Late Thursday, the individuals, including "Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog" puppeteer Robert Smigel – a frequent guest of Colbert's -- were not credentialed to be walking around without an escort, a House Republican source told Fox News. Others arrested included Colbert writer Josh Comers and associate producer Allison Martinez.
The group was cleared into the complex by staffers for Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., and House January 6 Committee Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

I am so confused ....
me, too; is it a sting?
Noooo. It's AN INSURRECTION!!
oh yes, thank you, sorry, forgot the word. An erection, you say?
lmao
could not stop laughing when Schumer barfed that out . We're watching a show!
It felt like they forced him to say it lol
Me too the article says June 17.
Yeah at first I thought it was during the Jan 6th event.
Lol. I was just feeling bad for feeling like HUH WTF IS THIS
Maybe they are trying to look like they don't just target Trump supporters🤷♂️
I just think its farm ore juicy story than that!
If Adam Schiff had anything to do with it, and if anybody that’s related to Stephen Colbert show has anything to do with it. They were probably trying to show them where the tunnels are so they could get to the little kids
):< That wouldn't surprise me...
Both I assure you, have a very vested interest in how this all plays out.
This movie is getting very interesting.
Is it something to do with amping up their J6 skit show?
Clearly thats what I would assume, but why would they arrest their own side? Or are they willing to throw their own kind under the bus just to show they are so very impartial?
I'm assuming they'll get at least a year and a half of solitary confinement.
The precedent has been set, after all.
They'll sweep it under the rug. Charges will be dropped.
Nah, they don't get to sweep this one under the rug.
Hypocritical Statists need their pink slips handed to them come November. (and not the tranny kind, either!)
So from what I gathered here is what happened: Colbert is shooting footage for some BS skit about J6 to make fun of conservatives and wants footage from inside the actual Capitol. So they contact Schiff's office and since his SJW staffers are such entitled brats and were probably gushing that Saint Colbert contacted them they essentially say "sureee come on in after hours we will let you film wherever!" So they let Colbert's film crew and writer roam around the halls of Congress after hours filming outside Republican offices, banging on doors and making a mockery. The Capitol police happen upon them and they have no official clearance other than "Adam Schiff's assistant said we could be here reeeeeeeee" so the police booked them and they spent the night in jail. https://www.disclose.tv/id/1537952957601263618/
Thank you for the context.
Put them in jail without bail.
That would be a violation of the 4th and 5th. Stooping to their level only destroys the rule of (just) law further...
J6ers are POWs and kidnap victims. Performed by a business corporation called the white house inc.
Agreed!, this is a violation of the 4th and 5th and 8th Amendments.
I don’t understand why they were arrested if they were cleared to enter by staffers???
They weren’t cleared to walk around without an escort.
This is a dangerous attitude that can turn on you in a New York minute. People get mad when I say the right isn't awake, they're just correct in the sense of a broken clock, and that statement above is exactly the reason why I have that opinion.
It certainly is a confusing and surprising arrest.
They doin recon for the next b.s. stunt.
Lock them- Up ,,,,,,,,two years no bail… then drop charges….haha
Oh, that’s okay. Dear Adam Schiff let them in, no problem. Leftists always look the other way when it is one of “their crowd.”
