Congresswoman MTG allowed into J6 jail, meets prisoners
|
[WashingtonExaminer] After months of trying, conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was given access last night to the jail housing up to 120 alleged Jan. 6 rioters and watched as they sang the national anthem, a nightly ritual.
In a statement, Greene said that D.C. Corrections Department officials allowed her in to check on the conditions which some of the inmates complained about.
She dubbed it the “Patriot Wing.”
In a series of tweets, she showed the pretrial defendants dressed in orange while singing the anthem.
“I just left the Patriot wing of the DC jail where I visited with pretrial J6 defendants in person. I asked questions and heard their stories. We must do everything we can to remain a Free America where justice is colorblind, doesn’t see political lines, and truth prevails,” she tweeted.
For months she and other conservatives eager to defend the Jan. 6 rioters have been denied access to their jail. The inmate complaints of conditions led the U.S. Marshals Service to move about 400 prisoners out of another facility but not the alleged rioters.
Greene and some judges have decried the holding of the alleged rioters for so long. This week, federal Judge Royce Lamberth ordered one inmate released from the D.C. jail after “deplorable” conditions were described to him.
The government has charged about 600 in Jan. 6 crimes related to the riot inside the U.S. Capitol that interfered with Congress' certification of the 2020 election. Many of the rioters were hopeful of stopping or delaying the certification. One rioter, Ashli Babbitt, was shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer, and several officers later died or committed suicide in cases linked to the riot.
