Our work created a public record of the crimes committed that day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another angry former DOJ prosecutor, Sara Levine, wailed furiously in a long, egotistical rant about her career, how she was hired, what she did, what it meant to her, and how she was eventually fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levine did not cry or express worry about locking up so many breadwinners in American families and permanently tarnishing their employment records with a federal conviction. She was proud of her work at the DOJ and disappointed that Trump obliterated her accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJan. 20, 2025 the president pardoned almost all of the defendants charged on Jan. 6 and commuted the sentence of every other rioter. I was heartbroken all that effort to pursue justice for the officers and the country was wiped away with a single proclamation,\u201d Levine said while crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Disgraced J6 prosecutor CRIED in front of a Senate hearing after she was FIRED for her weaponized prosecutions<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mIaE4IgPz7\">pic.twitter.com\/mIaE4IgPz7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Martin Walsh (@martinwalsh__) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/martinwalsh__\/status\/1927395734959116442?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following J6, former President Joe Biden\u2019s Department of Justice spent the following four years tracking down attendance. The FBI investigated Americans in their homes, disrupting many lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBI prioritized convictions over more serious challenges to America. The prosecutors who worked tirelessly to secure convictions on January 6th can\u2019t believe they were overzealous and prosecuted far too many individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In certain situations, they breached the Sixth Amendment\u2019s right to a swift trial by detaining some individuals for over a year before trial and imprisoning others for trivial offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This comes as President Trump\u2019s approval rating has been steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Republicans have regained a clear advantage over Democrats on the two issues voters care about most: the economy (R+8) and inflation (R+6), according to the latest polling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just last month, amid heightened tariff tensions, a Napolitan News Survey showed Democrats closing the gap\u2014pulling even with Republicans on the economy (R+1) and even leading slightly on inflation (D+4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this month\u2019s numbers mark a return to the broader trend seen earlier in the year, when Republicans held double-digit leads on both issues (R+10 on the economy in January and February; R+11 and R+9 on inflation in February and January, respectively), the Napolitan News Service reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rebound in Republican trust appears tied to positive voter response to President Donald Trump\u2019s recent trade deal with China and rising economic optimism. Inflation (29%) and the economy (25%) continue to rank as the top issues for voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immigration and health care are tied as the third most important issues, each named by 12% of voters. Republicans hold a commanding lead on immigration (R+16), while Democrats are more trusted on health care (D+12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, on the issue voters care most about, 42% trust Republicans more, 41% trust Democrats, 6% trust both equally, and 10% trust neither, the news service noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding immigration enforcement, which includes mass deportations, Trump has called on the U.S. Supreme Court to \u201cput an END to the quagmire that has been caused by the Radical Left,\u201d after a Biden-appointed federal judge blocked the deportation of illegal immigrants to South Sudan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two former prosecutors who charged and went after those who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=300"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":302,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions\/302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
