"All Americans have the constitutional right to peaceably assemble, but when protests turn into riots, all violence should be condemned and lawbreakers should be prosecuted," Sen. Johnson told the @DailyCaller.
"However, justice must be administered equally, and I’m concerned we see evidence that it is not. We need answers from the DOJ to ensure its mission – fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans – is faithfully executed," Sen. Johnson continued.
"Violence of any kind cannot be tolerated and those who commit crimes must be held accountable..." Sen. Rick Scott told the @DailyCaller.
"The Department of Justice needs to answer for why there hasn’t been an equal administration of justice with respect to violent protests that occurred throughout our nation last year," Sen. Rick Scott continued.

NEW: From a Matt Gaetz spox: “Congressman Gaetz doesn’t seem to be named nor referenced in Mr. Greenberg’s plea. Congressman Gaetz has never had sex with a minor and has never paid for sex. Mr. Greenberg was first indicted for falsely accusing someone else of sex with a minor...”
“That person was innocent. So is Congressman Gaetz,” the spox statement continued.

NEW: Members of the progressive-Democrat group in Congress called "the squad" who have been pushing to defund the police, spent thousands of dollars on private security for themselves, according to FEC records reviewed by the @DailyCaller.
The @DailyCaller contacted the offices of Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, and Bush about the amount of money spent on security, to which they have not responded...
@DailyCaller reached out to many of the security companies and learned that they indeed provide armed security, but couldn't comment on the nature of security provided to the congresswomen.
From a Hill source: Hearing that Kevin McCarthy is being pressured, and giving into, Cheney’s efforts to take time away from people like Gaetz, Scott Perry, and Boebert, and trying to give it to more moderates/establishment types on the floor today.
Another source tells me Kinzinger is the one who tweeted pushing back on it this AM.
A senior GOP aide tells me: “Time is divided by opponents and proponents...not by party. So technically opponents would be eating into Democrats' time”
