Trump DOJ Fires All Prosecutors Who Worked On January 6 Cases

The Trump Administration on Friday fired a handful of prosecutors who were involved in the highly politicized prosecutions of January 6 Capitol protesters. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove also instructed acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll to turn over a complete list of agents who worked on January 6 cases no later than Wednesday evening, while eight senior FBI officials were fired effective immediately.

Bove ordered the firings of January 6 prosecutors — many of whom have been voicing their disdain for President Trump and his supporters on MSNBC — just a few days after Trump pardoned more than 1,500 January 6 prisoners and defendants. The affected prosecutors worked on the sprawling, four-year case that saw heavily armed FBI agents raiding the homes of Trump supporters for non-violent crimes.

More than 600 protesters were charged with felony “obstruction of an official proceeding,” a dubious charge that drew from laws established in the wake of the Enron corruption scandal. The statute was never used to prosecute political protesters before and was ultimately tossed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Still, hundreds of Trump supporters were convicted of a felony and sentenced to lengthy prison terms for conduct that amounted to misdemeanor trespassing. Even those who were not convicted of the bogus felony count and were instead convicted of low level misdemeanors were sentenced to federal prison terms, something that was relatively unheard of prior to the January 6 cases.

No such investigation was launched to round up people who protested on government property and attacked the White House during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020. Pro-Palestine protesters — many of whom have trespassed in federal buildings and interrupted sessions of Congress — were also spared from the ruthless prosecution endured by January 6 protesters.
