The Trump Administration has been on a DOJ and FBI firing spree, cleaning house of J6 prosecutors and leakers.

According to The Washington Post, FBI and DOJ officials are in fear that they may be next after several lawyers were ousted from the Department.

Late last month, the Justice Department abruptly fired at least three prosecutors who persecuted January 6 defendants.

The prosecutors who were fired were not named in the report.

The AP reported that two of the attorneys fired were high-ranking supervisors who oversaw January 6 cases and one line attorney who prosecuted January 6 defendants.

On Thursday, The Washington Post reported that there have been more firings at the DOJ and FBI in recent weeks.

“In recent weeks, lawyers in the department’s antitrust and criminal division have been ousted, as well as a few lawyers in U.S. attorney’s offices across the country, the people familiar with the matter said. Patricia Hartman, a veteran spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C., was notified Monday that she was fired. At least one ATF attorney was terminated in recent weeks, said two people familiar with the personnel move,” The Washington Post.

“Multiple people familiar with the Justice Department said scores of experienced staffers are opting to voluntarily leave the government to avoid being fired at random or asked to do things that would potentially violate their legal ethics. Their departures are worsening staff shortages in major divisions and U.S. attorney offices, including in D.C. and Los Angeles, and have created an opening for the Trump administration to further shape the department workforce, allowing officials to fill career staff vacancies with lawyers who align ideologically with the president,” WaPo said.

The work is not finished. There are still hundreds of January 6 prosecutors who are still employed at the DOJ and they fear they will be terminated.

Earlier this year, former interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin humiliated several January 6 prosecutors and demoted them to the DC Superior Court.

“Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include Jason McCullough, who helped lead the team that sent top Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean to prison for their role in orchestrating the breach of the Capitol. And they include Kathryn Rakoczy, who was a lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 cases of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and more than a dozen of his allies, for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol,” Politico reported earlier this year.

These are the same prosecutors who made up evidence to secure convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys during their trials.

These prosecutors also threatened and pressured the top Proud Boy and Oath Keepers members to lie and sign a document saying Trump was behind the January 6, 2021, protests and riot.

More than 1,500 January 6 protestors were charged by Biden’s corrupt DOJ.

Biden’s corrupt DOJ charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2).

Last June, the US Supreme Court delivered a devastating blow to Biden’s Justice Department and overturned the obstruction charge used to jail hundreds of January 6 defendants.
