Trump’s ‘Justice’ Dept Deletes Database of January 6th Rioters Criminal Charges and Convictions

The commencement of Donald Trump’s reoccupation of the White House has been fraught with the same sort of controversy that plagued his first term. Most of it having to do with his rancid bigotry, his dreams of dictatorship, his profound ignorance and/or dismissal of the law and Constitution, and his obsession with lies about having lost the 2020 election.

Donald Trump Insurrection

In the first week of Trump’s new term, he has lived up to his tyrannical inclinations by issuing a tsunami of execrable executive orders. Among them was one that granted full pardons to more than 1,500 January 6th insurrectionists who sought to help him in his mission to undermine democracy. The pardons included those who assaulted police officers, sending 140 of them to the hospital, and five of them to the morgue. And he was unreservedly proud of these initiatives, as he affirmed in his inauguration address, and subsequent speech to his cult followers.

So it should come as no surprise that Trump is now seeking to close the record on the insurrection that he incited by getting rid of the evidence against his StormTrumpers. CNN is reporting that…

“As President Donald Trump this week sought to rewrite the history of his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol, a database detailing the vast array of criminal charges and successful convictions of January 6 rioters was removed from the Department of Justice’s website. The searchable database served as an easily accessible repository of all January 6, 2021, cases prosecuted by the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.”

This is the unmistakable behavior that Trump has long admired in the ruthless rulers that he idolizes and seeks to emulate. Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, must be so proud of their “Apprentice” authoritarian. Some of the records in the database may be available elsewhere on the DoJ’s website. But they will be more difficult to obtain, and will likely disappear after Trump’s team finds out they are still there.

Making matters worse is the flagrant hypocrisy of Trump’s efforts to memory hole the crimes of his cult disciples. By scrubbing the official records documenting the criminal acts of his fanatical followers, he is actually engaging in the suppression of evidence that he falsely accused Democrats of with regard to the Congressional Committee Investigating January 6th. Trump has repeatedly lied about the Committee’s handling of evidence that he said would implicate Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats in some sort of nefarious plot against him. None of which was remotely related to reality. He told Kristen Welker of NBC that…

“The people on the un-select committee of political thugs and, you know, creeps…So the un-select committee went through a year and a half of testimony. Wait. They deleted and destroyed all evidence of — that they found.”

Trump’s claim that “they deleted and destroyed all evidence” has been debunked by every credible source. In fact, only “temporary” records that were not relevant to the Committee’s probe were not preserved. Everything else was saved and is still available online to anyone – including Trump – who cares to check.

This is another example of Trump falsely accusing others of crimes that he has, or is, committing himself. As is often said of Trump, “Every accusation is a confession.” And now his so-called Justice Department has expunged the criminal records of the treasonous rioters that he just put back on the street to continue serving as his own private MAGA Militia. In his backwards dystopia, the heroes are incarcerated and the criminals go free.
