When I was asked to help submit names of J6 prosecutors who should be fired, she was towards the top of the list.
So I have no idea.
She was not.
And I have a piece up that I posted last night when I disclosed this, that Jocelyn Ballantyne is the lead prosecutor on the Brian Cole Jr.
pipe bomb case.
I covered her and this was a huge scandal during the proud boys trial that of course no one was covering, but the defense team discovered the spreadsheet of FBI correspondence going back and forth where agents were talking about destroying evidence.
They were talking about surveilling, spying on eavesdropping on communications between proud boys who are all in pretrial detention, federal prison and their attorneys.
They were accessing that communication.
And some other malfeasance.
So the defense team found this spreadsheet, accidentally, of course, and they wanted to use this as evidence.
They were at the time questioning an FBI agent, a government witness, and they were going to start presenting what they found in the spreadsheet.
Judge Tim Kelly, who, by the way, is good friends with Jocelyn Valentin.
They worked together in the DC U.S.
Attorney's Office.
They worked on cases together.
Judge Kelly abruptly cuts off the questioning as the defense attorney is about to present this evidence to this government witness.
A day or two later, Jocelyn Ballantyne goes into court, claims that that communication represents classified secrets, classified information, and should be withheld from the jury, which, of course, Judge Tim Kelly went along with.
That's just one example of what she did, leading this team of prosecutors against the Proud Boys, who were, of course, then convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Then she went ahead and tried to throw the book at them and put some of them in prison for life, like in Lucy Tarrio, who ended up getting a 22-year sentence.
prison sentence until, of course, they're all commuted by the president.
