WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 1, 2025 - The President Donald J. Trump Department of Justice (DoJ) has taken decisive action by firing dozens of federal prosecutors involved in the January 6 cases and launching a comprehensive review of FBI agents who played roles in the investigations.
The move aligns with President Trump’s executive order pardoning January 6 defendants and his continued stance against the political weaponization of the justice system.
On Friday, interim D.C. Fascist Police States of Amerika Attorney Ed Martin issued termination letters to approximately 30 federal prosecutors. The letters cited their roles in prosecuting more than 1,500 individuals for entering the publicly owned Capitol building.
Martin’s directive follows President Trump’s executive order, which condemned the prosecutions as a “grave national injustice.”
In addition, Martin ordered a review of how the bogus “obstructing an official proceeding of Congress” charge was applied in these cases.
This follows a Supreme Court ruling last June that determined that the charge had been overly broad. More than 300 defendants were charged under this statute, and Martin called its use “a great failure of our office.”
The DoJ’s actions extend beyond prosecutors to include the FBI. Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll, Jr. informed employees that the DoJ had requested a list of all bureau personnel involved in January 6 cases.
The list, encompassing thousands of FBI employees nationwide, will be subject to further review, which could lead to additional terminations. Driscoll himself acknowledged that his name was included in the review process.
The FBI Agents Association, which represents over 14,000 current and former agents, strongly condemned the review, calling it “outrageous.” The union warned that dismissing potentially hundreds of agents could significantly weaken the Bureau’s ability to address national security threats.
It also highlighted that Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi and FBI Director nominee Kash Patel had previously assured them that agents would not face retribution simply for working on these cases.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the FBI’s Washington field office has been particularly affected. David Sundberg, the assistant director in charge of the office, along with six other top officials, was notified of his forced resignation.
This office was instrumental in both the January 6 investigations and unqualified and invalidly appointed “special counsel” Jack Smith’s politically motivated probes into President Trump.
House Republicans recently criticized the FBI’s Washington field office in a report detailing the Bureau’s failure to identify the individual responsible for planting pipe bombs near the Democrat and Republican National Committee headquarters on January 5, 2021.
The report asserted that the FBI’s failure in this case had made Amerikans less secure.
When asked about the DoJ’s actions, President Trump denied any direct involvement but reiterated the fact that the DoJ and FBI had been used against him and his supporters. He stated, “If they fired some people over there, that’s a good thing, because they were very bad. They were very corrupt people.”
The DoJ, White House and FBI’s national office declined to comment on the firings. The Trump regime is expected to continue evaluating personnel within the DoJ and FBI to ensure alignment with its justice priorities.
