Congressmen roasted for failure to demand release of Jan 6 political prisioners in the DC Gulag

Two Congressmen from Texas and Florida are openly and strongly supportive of freedom for the people of Cuba but when it comes to demanding the release of the January 6 political prisoners held in the DC Gulag right here in the United States--well, nothing but crickets.

And now a Congressional candidate from Georgia has taken to roasting  Florida Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart and Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw on Twitter for failing to demand the release of the Jan 6 political prisoners.

Walk your asses down the street and demand the release of J6 political prisoners. Then *maybe* you can talk about Cuba. Con Inc. at work. https://t.co/HEMIgU6oN6

Reporting over at American Greatness reveals the U.S. Constitutional rights stripped from our fellow Americans: (emphasis mine)

Dozens of Americans held in the D.C. Gulag have been incarcerated for months awaiting trials that aren't scheduled to begin until 2022 (Sixth Amendment speedy trial anyone?)

Many defense lawyers are complaining about lack of access to their clients and access to video evidence captured by the U.S. Capitol's security system (production of Brady material anyone?) which is under protective seal. 

Meaning all that evidence is hidden not just from the lawyers and their clients but from the entire country, including the media who wish to report on it.

County Examiner is saddened that US Congressmen believe freedom and liberty for foreign nationals suffering under communism are a higher priority than preserving the Rule of Law and preventing communism from gaining a foothold right here in America.

Censured Houston Community College trustee Dave Wilson announces run for District VI

A former Texas community college trustee censured by the college system for speaking out against the governing body announced his new candidacy to return to that very same board.

Dave Wilson gained national prominence when on April  26, 2021 the Supreme Court of the United States agreed to hear his landmark First Amendment case regarding Houston Community College (HCC) censure of his speech, thereby violating Wilson's constitutional rights to represent the people who elected him.

County Examiner received a statement from Wilson:

Why is this case and election so important? 

For many years before being elected to the Board of Trustees, I spoke out about the disease of corruption at HCC on contracts, real estate, capital spending, and more.  In addition, today HCC is faced with plummeting enrollment, skyrocketing administrative salaries, and discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits.

After being elected to the Board by campaigning to fight corruption, they have tried to restrict and shut me down over these important issues.  They do not want transparency or a spotlight on their dirty deals.  Regretfully, my positions have rung true.

There is a lot of talk about vaccines these days.  We need a different vaccine at HCC.  One that will provide Transparency and Truth and Accountability.

Now I am running for HCC 6 to carry on the fight to end corruption, increase enrollment, change the culture, and make everyone proud of Houston Community College once again.

Houston Community College District VI covers the Alief area and the below zip codes:

Wilson served as the District II member of the Houston Community College Board of Trustees until August 27, 2019, when he resigned to focus on his District I candidacy.

The campaign of Wilson's opponent in that 2019 runoff was financed in part by the:

• Andrews & Kurth Texas PAC: $1000.00
• Richard Weekley: $2000.00
• Houston Business Education PAC: $12,000.00

From Wilson: "For those of you that do not know who the HBEC is: they are composed of members of the Greater Houston Partnership.  They have a long established history of buying HCC Trustees."

Wilson subsequently lost in the December 2019 runoff.

Witness intimidation? Texas State Senator pledges to hunt down "Publican" person responsible for illegal voter complaint filed against his constituent

A Texas state senator was caught on video during a public hearing pledging to hunt down the identity of the person responsible for filing an illegal voting complaint on one of his constituents in the aftermath of the Texas 2020 presidential primary.

Texas State Senator Borris Miles was referring to a complaint filed resulting in the subsequent indictment of Hervis Rogers, whom Senator Miles revealed is one of his constituents in the Harris County-area Texas Senate District 13.

But first some background from the NY Post:

"A Texas man who was hailed as a national hero after he queued for several hours in order to cast a ballot in last year’s presidential primary, was charged with illegal voting earlier this week.

Hervis Rogers was arrested Wednesday in Houston, charged with two counts of illegal voting, according to a report on Houston Public Media. He is being held in jail, unable to pay bail set at $100,000. 

“Mr. Rogers is being held in jail on an extremely high bail amount that he cannot afford for what amounts to simply attempting to fulfill his civic duty. This is not justice,” said ACLU of Texas legal director Andre Segura. “He faces potentially decades in jail. Our laws should not intimidate people from voting by increasing the risk of prosecution for, at worst, innocent mistakes.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is alleging that Rogers voted while on parole for a 1995 conviction for burglary.

In Texas, it is illegal for those convicted of a felony to vote in an election until their sentence is completed, including probation and parole. Rogers’ parole began in 2004 and expired in June 2020. The Texas primaries, in which he cast his ballot, were held in March of that year.

With that context scroll to the 2:50:00 minute mark of the Texas Senate State Affairs hearing held July 10, 2021.

Senator Miles: "How did the Attorney General's office even find out about this?"

Witness answer: "We received a complaint through the Secretary of States office."

Senator Miles: "Through the Secretary of States office?"

Witness: "We got a complaint from the public."

Senator Miles: "I need not ask...who in the public?"

Witness answer: "So 31.006 information regarding complaints to the the Attorney Generals office is not public information until the investigation is completed."

Senator Miles: "My office will be submitting a legislative privilege to get that information request so that...I would like to know..I'd like to know who that "publican"---who it is, who it is requestin' that".

Rogers was bailed out of the Montgomery County jail on July 10 but that does not excuse Senator Miles from what appears to be a pledge of witness intimidation.
