In his attempt to downplay his staff's crimes, Stephen Colbert left out some pretty information
His 7 staff members were charged with the crime of being in an unauthorized area of the U.S. Capitol complex after they were thrown out
trying to crash the Jan. 6 hearings earlier in the day, and how Rep. Adam Schiff.
- Interfering / interrupting official govt business?
"Capitol police were called because they were causing a disturbance, including banging on the doors of the offices of Republicans like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). They were held and then charged with being in an unauthorized area, another fact that he left out when describing the situation to his audience."
“Adam Schiff, a member of the Jan. 6 committee, illegally brought Stephen Colbert’s comedy team into the Capitol and left them unescorted at night, and they were arrested,” he said. “So while they’re accusing me of giving illegal tours of the Capitol, they are giving illegal tours of the Capitol.”

"Props to the Capitol Police for doing the right thing in both the Colbert and Hysom case, but we’ll have to see if the Colbert folks are prosecuted by the DOJ. I wouldn’t bet money on it."
Jonathan Turley explains that Colbert didn't help his own people with his comments.
