It's difficult if not impossible to express in words just how thoroughly co-opted the DoJ has become

No wonder Repubs want to defund NPR.

Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration.
NPR has obtained police bodycam footage from multiple angles of the former defendant and current administration official, Jared Wise, berating officers and calling them "Nazi" and "Gestapo." NPR located the footage, which has not previously been published, in a review of thousands of court exhibits from Jan. 6 criminal cases, obtained through legal action by a coalition of media organizations. The Department of Justice had introduced the footage as an exhibit in Wise's trial. NPR also obtained the transcript of Wise's testimony, in which he acknowledged that he repeatedly yelled "kill 'em" as officers were being attacked and tried to explain his actions. Wise was not convicted of any crimes related to Jan. 6, due to President Trump's order to end all Capitol riot prosecutions.

Can you explain the thinking behind hiring this guy?

We are witnessing the most blatant attack on democracy and the rule of law since the Civil War. And the arrogance and audacity of these people could bring on the next Civil War.

… because it hasn’t been co-opted in this Administration at all. Check.

Please don't employ obfuscation once again. Wise called for Capital policemen to be killed. KILLED. An act for which, among other things, he was convicted by a jury.

The first egregious act was his pardon, and the pardons of the other convicted, violent criminals. That's bad enough. But hiring him to work in the nation's premier law enforcement agency? Do you think he should have been hired?

IDK, I don’t know the man. But, what I do know is that more often than not, you’re full of shit…So there’s that.

A former F.B.I. agent who was charged with encouraging the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to kill police officers has been named as an adviser to the Justice Department task force that President Trump established to seek retribution against his political enemies.

And that ^^^ folks is how you get REVENGE on the scum of the earth corrupt Democrats!
