Summary
A Trump appointee fired 24 Justice Department prosecutors handling January 6 cases, ordering terminations based on a memo obtained by the Associated Press.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove urgently also demanded FBI personnel lists from those involved in the Capitol investigations, threatening further removals.
The actions follow Trump’s sweeping clemency for Capitol rioters and echo earlier firings and forced retirements within the FBI and special counsel team.
Critics warn these moves deeply undermine FBI independence and due process, potentially weakening national security, eroding public trust, and politicizing law enforcement investigations critically.
Absolutely the type that would claim that questioning Trump is a threat against national security, and is punishable by death, and he will seek the death penalty on ANY infringement.
Luckily we are not there yet… Yet!
We’re not far. All it takes is declaring someone a terrorist, and all legal protections are off for that person.
By secret evidence in secret courts. It’s scary to see USA almost constantly decline since the 80’s.
