Colbert crew's behavior in Capitol complex caused Democrat staffer to call for emergency help

Stephen Colbert’s comedy crew was warned “several times” it could not trespass on Capitol grounds.

• The crew was pretending to place invitations to a “cocaine orgy” at the Capitol and was boisterous but not filming at the time police arrested them.

Davis, the top Republican on the House Administration Committee, which oversees Capitol security, told Just the News that federal prosecutors' decision to decline prosecution of the Colbert team only further created the perception of a two-tier system of justice.

• The decision by the Department of Justice to not pursue the charges recommended by USCP further highlights the politicization of Capitol security and the double standard for Democrats.

Manger's letter states that when police apprehended the team members, they claimed to be filming a skit, but no cameras were found operating

• One of the arrested crew members “disclosed the group’s intention was to film comic skits with a puppet (Triumph the Insult Dog) outside the offices of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-R), Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-R], Rep. Lauren Boebert, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (GA-R," the letter stated.
