Summary
We all know that Trump orchestrated and launched an attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, to try to retain power after he lost a presidential election. We know that in the aftermath of the Capitol attack, thousands and thousands of FBI agents and local police officers around the country, scores of prosecutors, paralegals, legal assistants, grand jurors, trial jurors and judges - tens of thousands of people - worked to hold accountable Trump's angry mob. More than 1600 of them were convicted at trial or pleaded guilty to their crimes. Then Donald Trump wiped it all away with the most unjust pardons in our nation's history. And even after Trump delivered those searingly unjust pardons, he wasn't done. He then he had his dirty DOJ leadership wrongfully terminate or demote FBI agents and federal prosecutors who did the hard work of the American people holding those rioters accountable for their crimes. Glenn sat down with a former colleague and friend, Greg Rosen. Greg was the Chief of the Capitol Siege Unit - the unit at the DC US Attorney's office that put together the J6 criminal investigations and prosecutions. They talked about what this nation has been put through by Donald Trump and where we might go from here.
