Justice is coming to the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi as prosecutors involved in the Biden administration’s lawfare against Donald Trump and his supporters are gradually rooted out.
The latest is Ahmed Baset, one of the DOJ team who dusted off an old Civil War-era charge of “seditious conspiracy” against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to align with the fake Dem narrative that Trump was an insurrectionist.
He also teamed up with Jack Smith on the get-Trump special counsel investigation, which they hoped would land Trump in jail.
Baset was quietly working in the DOJ’s antitrust division when he was fired on Monday.
“One of the Trump Administration’s first actions upon entering office was dismissing the glut of weaponized prosecutors from the DOJ,” said an insider. “These are the people who used glorified misdemeanors to prosecute [Trump’s] supporters for the indignity of being at the Capitol on January 6, 2020. The same people who raided the home of a former President and tried to incarcerate him for possessing classified information.
