Justice Department Punishes J6 Defendants for Obstruction but Not Democrats

Why didn’t the Department of Justice hold the 2016 Democratic congressional obstructionists to the same standard as those now being charged with obstructing an official proceeding on January 6?

By Louie Gohmert
April 14, 2022

It has been said that if not for the Left’s double standards, they would have no standards at all. That rings true for a whole host of reasons. How does one begin to describe the depth and breadth of Democratic Party hypocrisy?

From ignoring their own mask mandates as they hobnob with celebrities and hopping on private jets as they lecture us about “climate change” to complaining about “the rich” from their energy guzzling, multimillion-dollar mansions, Democrats never fail to provide us with examples of their bad faith and double-dealing. 

Perhaps one of the most egregious examples, however, is the demonization of political opponents by House Democrats while cheerleading the Biden Justice Department’s prosecution of January 6 protesters with charges of “obstructing an official proceeding.” All the while, mind you, Democrats are ignoring their own hours-long obstruction of an official proceeding just a few short years ago when Republicans held the majority in the House.

Likely forgotten by most Americans today thanks to the media’s love affair with all things liberal, the incident took place in June 2016 when Democrats staged a raucous “sit-in” in the House chamber where they blocked official business from occurring for roughly 26 hours. There were reports of House furniture being damaged and congressional staffers being mistreated and yet there were no outlandish cries of insurrection and certainly no mention of there being an obstruction of an official proceeding, even though that’s clearly what happened. One House Democrat admitted, “We fully appreciate that we are in full violation of the rules.”

The Democrats also livestreamed their unruly event on social media, breaking the House rules that restrict not only filming from the House floor but also the broadcasting of official proceedings from the House chamber. Of course, nothing will come of their then-unprecedented obstruction of Congress because they are not conservatives, Republicans, and certainly not Trump supporters.
