They have lost a lot of talented people who have peaced out of there saying, this is not for me.
This new politicized Department of Justice is not for me.
I'm going to quit.
more than there are the many who've been fired because they were part of the trump cases or part of the january 6 prosecutions and they were let go and you can objectively watch ben as there are typos misspellings and issues in the court filings by perhaps an overstretched and under resourced office here and there we know for example in dc and minneapolis they lost so many people
Common misconception about January 6th is that it is a piece of history.
It was, but it's also a current kinetic evolving story.
It is still relevant because not only did you have this mass issue of clemency, all these pardons and all these people released from prison, including those who beat Maine police officers, but you have this.
undercurrent of people who are unapologetic, if not celebratory, of the violence that occurred that day.
And this whitewashing of history is an absolute cancer on American democracy.
So this is a current threat.
Without accountability, the victims still feel victimized
A lot of victims were re-traumatized by the pardons.
And I tell you, from being in the courtroom every day, Ben, you could see the unapologetic people, even there at sentencing, when it was worth their self-interest to try to express some remorse and still wouldn't.
How about the seditious conspiracy defendant who raised a fist and yelled, Trump won, as he was walking out of the courtroom after sentencing?
new pattern of january 6 pardoned rioters and defendants being out there being celeb celebrities being politically active trying to get close to trump none of that's surprising and that's why i'm so grateful for anybody who takes a moment to subscribe to my pages and my platforms because i'm going to be in the courtrooms moving forward for all these critical legal challenges about the threat to democracy people who are suing to try to counteract
some of these executive orders and policies being in the courtroom tells you a lot then because as you know better than anybody there are no cameras in these courts there's no audio feeds in most of these courts the only way to get the actual nuggets of news as they happen is from the reporters who are in there and we are now positioned to be in all the courtrooms as often as we need to be or in my case also banging around capitol hill looking for news that otherwise can't service
I'm so glad you asked that.
I think this gets to the fundamental nature of what we're about to do here, Ben.
First of all, before I explain, can you go back to the picture?
