Stephen Colbert's staff arrested in U.S. House Building, snooping around GOP offices Adam Schiff was involved

Former comedian Stephen Colbert may be in trouble, but he has the invisible shield known as the Democratic Party to protect him, so nothing may come out of the fact that his crew was snooping around some of the GOP offices in the U.S. House of Representatives building.

The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) on Thursday night arrested the group of Colbert staffers who work for the CBS "The Late. Show With Stephen Colbert." The group of nine insurrectionists were found near the offices of Republican House Members in the Longworth House Office Building where they were looking to conduct interviews related to the Jan. 6 committee hearings. They were originally told to leave but they returned that night and there were no USCP officers holding the door open for them, like they did on January 6th. Like that day, the building was closed to the public and the crew did not have permission to enter nor Capitol passes to legitimize their presence. 

A senior source in the House revealed the names of Colbert's crew: Jake Plunkett, Allison Martinez, Tyrone Dean, Stephen Romond, Nicoletta Green, Brendan Hurley, Robert Smigel, Josh Comers, and David Feldman. They were charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours.

Fox News host Jesse Watters said in a segment of his Fox News show, "Jesse Watters Primetime," that Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) let Colbert’s staff in the building.

“On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building,” USCP said in a statement. “Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway.”

“The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day,” the statement continued. “They were charged with Unlawful Entry. This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney.”

It's going to be interesting to see if these nine clowns will end up languishing in prison for a year like the clowns who entered the building on Jan. 6. Maybe we can call this the 6/16 insurrection. The difference between the incidents are scant, just like the outcome is likely to be.
