AS The Second Administration of President Trump Continues Its Crackdown On Veteran Federal World Deemed Insufficiently Loyal – OR Just Not Enthusiastic Enough About Enacting the Project 2025 Agenda – His Justice Department is now purging Federal Prosecutors Who Made Cases AGAINS CASES CADINS
On Friday, and Martin, Interim Us Attorney for the District of Columbia, Whho Has EspoUSed Conspiracy theories about the 2020 Element Being Stolen From Trump, AnnoUnedd the Firings of Landing 30 Attorneys Formers Assicted To Some 1.600 Capitol Siege Prosecribesions. The terminated individuals received notice at Around 5 PM Ahead of the Weekend. Meanwhile, The Administration is reported to Remove a Number of FBI Agents Known to Have Been Involution in Investigations of Trump and the Sacking of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Martin's Connections To Those Charged in Connection to Jan. 6 and Later Pardoned by Trump Are Strong: He Spoke At A “Stop the Steal” Rally on the Night Before The Riot and Wound Up Defenseing Some Participants in Court. A Staunch Trump Loyalist, He Has Even Referred to Federal Prosecutors As “[the] President's Lawyers “in A Post On X. AS HE STEPED Into His New Role This Month, He Helped facilitated Various Filings to Dismiss Pending Charges Against Jan. 6 Defenndants.
The President Has Effectively UNONE The Justice Department's Sweeping Investigation Intretion Staged at the Capitol by His Supporters by Issuing Blanket Pardons and Commutations to Defenseants and Convicted Parties. He has described Those Jaled for Their Role in Trying to Prevent The Certification of Joe Biden's 2020 Electoral Victory as “J6 Hostages.”
According to The Washington PostThe DC Attorneys PurGed on Friday Amount to 8 percent of the office's prosecutors. They had been hired for permanent career positions, from which they've now been usted. The Move Was Only Possible Because These Employees Were Still Under probion status, Having First such as Abaard As Short-Term Adational Hires To Deal With The Huge Jan. 6 Caseload-Which Means they have no Recourse in Challeuring Their Dismissal.
The Revenge Against Those Prosecutors Seed an extension of a Mostly Symbolic Executive Order Trump Recently Signed to End the “Weaponization of the Federal Government.” The Order Mentioned the Legal Travails of the Capitol Riot Defenndants. It accused the Biden administration of “a systematic campaign against its perceived political opponents, weaponizing the legal force of numerous Federal law enforcement agencies and the Intelligence Community against those perceived political opponents in the form of investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related Actions. ” It Also Promised That The Trump Administration WULD “Take appropriate action to correct past misconduct” in These Areas.
Also on the chopping block This week Were Investigators and Staffers from the Team of Forment Special Counsel Jack Smith, Who Had Prospecuted Trump. Acting Us Attorney General James R. Mchenry Fired These Employees, As Expected, Though Smith Himself Had Resigned from the Justice Department Ahead of Trump Taking Office, with former acting General Merrick Garland Then Releasing His Damning Report on Trump's Atturn The Res tea 2020 Election. The case Had Been Tosted Once Trump Won Reelection in November of Last Year. House Democrats Have Launched a Review of the Dismissal of the Career Employees Who Worked With Smith.
Yet the Gop Campaign of Brazen Retribution is UNLIKELY TO END ANYTIME SOON. Martin Has Already Promised An Investigation Into the Justice Department's Application of a Felony Charge, Obstruction of An Official Proceding, in Various Capitol Siege Cases. These Charges Had To Be Dropped Last Summer After The Supreme Court Ruled That Thry Had Been Too Widely Applied. In a memo to staff, Martin Called It “A Great Failure of Our Office.” Like Other Trump Allies, It appears that he's not content to Merely Wind Back the past Four Years But would like to Punish His Predecessors.
