For months now, reports have been leaking out of a jail in Washington, D.C., where people are being held in connection with January 6, 2021, invasion of the Capitol Building. None of the incarcerated are actually charged with anything. They are just being held.
Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee want to know why, and no answer is forthcoming from the DC police.
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has yet to hear from the D.C. Department of Corrections, whose director he queried in July of 2021, about the status of the men and women who remain in the agency’s custody for charges related to the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
Steube is on the House Judiciary Committee, which has oversight of the nation’s federal prisons and jails in the District of Columbia.
Steube told Breitbart News that he did get a response from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), but that his inquiry to the D.C. agency has gone unanswered. His letter was addressed to Michael Carvajal, Director of BOP, and Quincy Booth, Director of D.C. Department of Corrections.
“It’s very demonstrative of a willful and intentional intent on behalf of the D.C. jail system to avoid oversight, to avoid accountability, and to avoid transparency, even with members of Congress, as to what is occurring in the D.C. jail with the January 6 prisoners. If you don’t have anything to hide, then why are you not responding to a member of Congress who sits on the Judiciary Committee, the committee that has oversight authority over the D.C. prison?”
There was a changing of the guard at the top of the DC Department of Corrections, but that does not answer the question.
Why is the DC police stonewalling a member of Congress charged with oversight of their department?
Breitbart News sent Steube’s letter to the new director and attempted several times to call and email the department to see if the Congressman’s questions would be addressed. The department did not respond to Breitbart News’ inquiries.
Something fishy is going on, that’s for sure.
