The Associated Press reports that at least three Federal prosecutors involved in prosecuting the violent Trumpist insurrectionists of January 6 have been summarily fired. From the report:
"The Justice Department on Friday fired at least three prosecutors involved in U.S. Capitol riot criminal cases, the latest moves by the Trump administration targeting attorneys connected to the massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Those dismissed include two attorneys who worked as supervisors overseeing the Jan. 6 prosecutions in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington as well as a line attorney who prosecuted cases stemming from the Capitol attack, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
A letter that was received by one of the prosecutors was signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The letter did not provide a reason for their removal, effective immediately, citing only 'Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States,' according to a copy seen by The Associated Press."

The only real reason the corrupt Attorney General could have given was the lawless Malignant Fascist's revenge against those that fought for justice and accountability for his law-breaking cultists, who battled police and trashed the Capitol building, nearly assaulting then- Vice President Pence. After the MF's pardon of the roughly 1,500 of his rioting cult members on his first day in office, he was on a mission to punish the Federal prosecutors and others who frustrated his attempt at a coup. He's extended his revenge tour to major law firms that he imagines to be enemies of his because they employed lawyers hostile to his fascist agenda and his criminal activities.
