Trump-Appointed Prosecutor Opens Review of Justice Department’s Jan. 6 Cases​

Lawyers who worked on cases are asked to turn over files, notes and other records​


“A top Trump-appointed prosecutor has opened an internal review of the Justice Department’s decision to charge hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with felony obstruction offenses in connection with the Capitol attack, according to people familiar with the matter.

Acting U.S. attorney Ed Martin in Washington, D.C., asked prosecutors in an email Monday to turn over files, documents, notes, emails and other information related to the cases, the people said, which included charges against some of the most violent rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Supreme Court last year ruled the department overstepped in relying upon an Enron-era obstruction statute, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, to charge defendants with obstructing the joint session of Congress that convened on Jan. 6 to certify Joe Biden’s election victory over President Trump.

Martin described the use of the obstruction charges as a failure and referred to his inquiry as a “special project.” The contents of his email were described to The Wall Street Journal.

Justice Department spokespeople had no immediate comment.

Department officials, both career employees and Biden appointees, have repeatedly insisted their Jan. 6 prosecutions weren’t politically motivated. Defendants accused of the obstruction offense also faced other charges, but the allegation was crucial in elevating the seriousness of cases and the amount of potential prison time.

Within the U.S. attorney’s office, some prosecutors viewed Martin’s inquiry as an opening salvo in the Trump administration’s stated aim of investigating the Jan. 6 investigators, the people familiar with the matter said. …”

“
As President Donald Trump this week sought to rewrite the history of his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol, a database detailing the vast array of criminal charges and successful convictions of January 6 rioters was removed from the Department of Justice’s website.

The searchable database served as an easily accessible repository of all January 6, 2021, cases prosecuted by the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

… “This is a huge victory for J6ers,” Brandon Straka, who was among those pardoned by Trump for his role in the Capitol riot, wrote on X, adding, “This site was one of countless weapons of harassment used by the federal government to make life impossible for its targets from J6.”

Straka credited the new Trump-appointed acting US attorney in Washington, DC, Ed Martin, for the site’s removal. Martin was an organizer with the “Stop the Steal” movement and was involved in the financing of the January 6, 2021, Trump rally on the Ellipse that occurred directly before the attack on the Capitol.

Straka wrote that he had campaigned for the site’s removal because “every time a potential employer, landlord, new social or business contact, etc, would search somebody targeted for J6 they would read a dossier on each person filled with FBI and FOJ accusations and narratives that were never proven, along with links to documents with even more damaging allegations.”

The vast majority of the government’s claims, however, were proved through the courts. About 1,250 people were convicted of crimes related to January 6.

Parts of the database were still accessible Sunday through the Internet Archive. …”

What kind of dumb fuck do you have to be to get a literal "get out of jail free card" and then go and get yourself shot and killed by police?

It's really not that hard to understand. These are people who've probably been given the benefit of the doubt for most of their lives regarding their relationship with the police. Then, their messiah pardons them for attacking cops, and they now feel they are above the law, and that law enforcement no longer needs to be respected if you are a Trumpista.

This guy just happened to hit the Find Out stage of FAFO a little earlier than most.
 
We’re quickly reaching the point where we’ll need a separate thread to keep track of all the J6 assholes pardoned by Trump who’ve been killed by cops and/or re-arrested.

In addition to the guy in Indiana:

—And this Florida Man(ure) was arrested on separate pending charges of possession of a gun by a felon:

“He had at least three previous felony convictions — one dating back to 2017 for domestic violence battery by strangulation and two in October of 2021 — nine months after the Jan. 6 riot, for resisting law enforcement and battery on a law enforcement officer.”

Trump is scum. He has done a lot of awful things but pardoning these treasonous thugs is the worst yet. All this crap about illegals being dangerous and he goes and pardons people that attempted an insurrection. Just shows how racist he is and doesn't care about anyone but himself. And I wonder if his reason for doing this is so he can have people that will fight for him if needed.

Many of them see this as validation and are blindly loyal. They'll be ready when called.
