| 2025-06-28 | |
| WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

| #5 ^ #4 OK, then also have them testify WHO above them instructed / ordered them to violate civil right laws and the US Constitution for a reduce prison sentence. Then charge those that ordered them with US Code violation fitting their actions.

| #1 They can now plead the 5th Amendment with impunity. As Federal employees, the 5th is off limits. I'm admittedly no attorney, but I'm not certain this was a good idea. Their termination agreements may have held other stipulations however. |
