The Crimes of Jan. 6 Will Be Buried Under the Rubble of the Careers of People Who Just Followed the Law
If you’re a fan of how the old government of East Germany did business—Informers on every bloc, etc.—you’re going to love our new and improved Department of Justice, which on Tuesday embarked on the extended final chapter in the case of You vs. Your Lying Eyes, in which the events of January 6, 2021 are run through the rusty blender that is the mind of our New-Old President. What will come out will be an explanation of events that did not happen, and an account of those events created out of the thin, fetid air of the conservative media terrarium. From CNN:
FBI officials have complied with demands to provide the Justice Department with details of thousands of employees who worked on investigations related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot, according to people familiar with the situation. More than 5,000 employee details were submitted, including employee ID numbers, job titles, and their role in the January 6 investigations, sources said, but not their names. There are more than 13,000 agents and 38,000 total FBI employees. Meanwhile, officials dispatched by Elon Musk have been seen at FBI headquarters. Musk has headed up efforts by President Donald Trump’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
There is absolutely no chance that the names of these agents remain anonymous. Between wingnut congresscritters, the denizens of the MAGA cubicles, and Elon Musk’s cargo-short auxiliaries, the names will get out so that the shock troops can have their innings. There will be hearings on top of hearings. James Comer and Jim Jordan will put on ball gowns and dance across the Rotunda floor. Reporters will have cool things to cover. And the crimes of January 6 will be buried under the rubble of the careers of people who just followed the law.
