Is this another case of a Repub who "saw the light?"

Trump’s feared DOJ enforcer has a secret: He, too, investigated Jan. 6​

In the months after the Jan. 6 attacks, a hard-charging federal prosecutor in Manhattan eagerly oversaw efforts to find and arrest Capitol rioters in the New York area, his former colleagues say, and even proposed to the Justice Department that his office should play a central role in the investigation.

His name: Emil Bove.

Bove, whose prominence soared when he was one of Donald Trump’s defense lawyers last year, is now the Trump-appointed acting deputy attorney general, essentially the chief operating officer of the Justice Department.

He has been leading an effort to identify everyone who worked on Jan. 6 cases and remedy what Trump called “a grave national injustice” by rooting out “those who acted with corrupt or partisan intent” when they investigated Trump and Capitol rioters.

Some who know Bove have been shocked by the turnabout. On Jan. 6, 2021, Bove was helping lead the counterterrorism section in the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan when a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol. Over the next several months, he worked closely with FBI agents as they hunted down suspects in the New York area.

Two former colleagues who worked alongside Bove on Jan. 6 cases in New York say they never heard him express qualms about the sprawling Capitol riot criminal investigation, which grew into the largest in American history.

Emil, what gives? An aggressive J6 mob investigator one day, a trump sock puppet the next. A transformation not unlike the VP, who called trump "a moral disaster," and "America's Hitler" then did a 180.

Maybe it's me, but I think there's something wrong with Bove wanting to fire members of the DoJ for doing exactly what he did.

You all know that Bove investigated J6, was a hard charger at it?

"Yes, Emil Bove was involved in investigating the January 6th Capitol rioters. At the time, he was co-chief of the terrorism and international narcotics unit at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. In this role, he worked closely with the FBI to identify and arrest suspects in the New York area and supervised related investigations"

Emil is by far not the only Repub who changed his or her tune, completely, after coming under the trumpian spell. Baby Donald was widely criticized by many Repubs after his failed coup who have since become acolytes. The reason is simple. Anyone who wants a future in the POT must bow down before the Orange Messiah. Anything less is political suicide.

The fantastic part is most democrats never see the light. Hence, why Trump won the election. The deep dark secret is - you guys helped elect him.

The official said Bove’s office in the Southern District “took a measured approach to these investigations.” The official accused O’Leary and another former Bove colleague of being “Biden political hacks.”

O’Leary disputed that. “Like nearly all FBI agents, I have no political bias whatsoever. I’m a field guy," O'Leary said. "I did counterterrorism investigations under Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. No variance at any time. I’m actually a registered Republican, as well.”

No credible evidence has publicly emerged that any FBI agent or federal prosecutor did anything improper in the estimated 2,400 Jan. 6 investigations. The vast majority of criminal charges resulted in guilty pleas or convictions — a process under which defense attorneys would have a chance to present any evidence of misconduct.

People like O'Leary are the kind of people trump wants to replace with toadies.

Anyone that downplays the political bias of the fbi, after the steele dossier or the hunter laptop coverup, is clearly a piece of shit and should be purged, at the LEAST.

Trump being elected doesn't show any politcal bias in the fbi.

That was kind of dumb to say.

Appointing political leadership is normal. THe agency operating illegal, unauthorized operations against the sitting president for political reasons, is not.

Your pretense of not getting that, is just you playing dumb.

I guess it was your only option. What else were you going to say?

He is a political hitman, and he and his colleagues will pay the price.

Perhaps. But that has nothing to do with the political bias your side baked into the workforce of the agency. indeed of the government as a whole.

That is a very different thing you did. And we are trying to undo it.


Oh, I get it, you are playing dumb to try to confuse people about what is happening.

Not at all. I want it done. I want the deep state lefties purged. ALL of them.
