The Justice Department on Friday evening abruptly fired at least three prosecutors who persecuted January 6 defendants, according to the Associated Press.
The prosecutors who were fired were not named in the report.
The AP reported that two of the attorneys fired were high-ranking supervisors who oversaw January 6 cases and one line attorney who prosecuted January 6 defendants.
The AP reported:
The Justice Department on Friday fired at least three prosecutors involved in U.S. Capitol riot criminal cases, the latest moves by the Trump administration targeting attorneys connected to the massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Those dismissed include two attorneys who worked as supervisors overseeing the Jan. 6 prosecutions in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington as well as a line attorney who prosecuted cases stemming from the Capitol attack, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
A letter that was received by one of the prosecutors was signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The letter did not provide a reason for their removal, effective immediately, citing only “Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States,” according to a copy seen by The Associated Press.

Earlier this year, former interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin humiliated several January 6 prosecutors and demoted them to the DC Superior Court.
“Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include Jason McCullough, who helped lead the team that sent top Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean to prison for their role in orchestrating the breach of the Capitol. And they include Kathryn Rakoczy, who was a lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 cases of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and more than a dozen of his allies, for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol,” Politico reported earlier this year.
These are the same prosecutors that made-up evidence to secure convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys during their trials.
These prosecutors also threatened and pressured the top Proud Boy and Oath Keepers members to lie and sign a document saying Trump was behind the January 6, 2021, protests and riot.
More than 1,500 January 6 protestors were charged by Biden’s corrupt DOJ.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2).
Last June, the US Supreme Court delivered a devastating blow to Biden’s Justice Department and overturned the obstruction charge used to jail hundreds of January 6 defendants.
