WATCH: Gohmert Grills Merrick Garland on Double Standard for Jan. 6 DetaineesJoel B. Pollak 21 Oct 2021
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) grilled U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday about the apparent double standard in prosecutions of January 6 rioters for offenses that Democrats in Congress had allegedly committed without consequence.
Garland was appearing at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. Democrats used the hearing to press Garland on potential prosecutions of Steve Bannon and other witnesses who had resisted subpoenas to the January 6 committee.
Republicans countered by focusing on the Department of Justice’s recent effort to crack down on parents protesting school board policies, and on other instances in which the department appeared to be pursuing a partisan political agenda.
After committee chair Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) began by claiming the January 6 was a “pre-planned” assault on the government, Gohmert prodded Garland to confirm that none of the January 6 defendants had been charged with insurrection.
