Greg Rosen
One of the leading prosecutors of the January 6th protesters has resigned from the Department of Justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Rosen, who led the DOJ’s Capitol Siege Section, has taken up a post with a private law firm.
Rosen was one of the many prosecutors who worked tirelessly to harass, persecute and ultimately imprison around 1,500 individuals protesting the widespread fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential eleciton.
In an interview with CBS News, Rosen complained about President Trump’s decision to pardon all those involved.
“The message that [the pardons] send is that political violence towards a political goal is acceptable in a modern democratic society,” Rosen said.
“That, from my perspective, is anathema to a constitutional republic.”

He went on accuse Trump of sending a “terrible message to the American people.”
“Individuals who were duly — and appropriately — convicted of federal crimes ranging in culpability are immediately let loose without any supervision, without any remorse, without any rehabilitation to civil society,” he complained.
“The reason those juries convicted — and the reason those judges convicted individuals — was not because of some bug in the due process.
“It was because the evidence was overwhelming. It was the most videotaped crime in American history.”
Rosen has now taken up a job with the Joseph O’Donnell law firm in Washington, D.C.
The real question that people should be asking is what took him so long? And what has he been up to in the six months that Trump has been in office.
Since taking back the White House in January, the Trump DOJ has worked to remove the many corrupt prosecutors working under the direction of former Attorney General Merrick Garland to lock away Trump supporters for as long as humanly possible.
Last November, it was reported that many officials at both the DOJ and the FBI were hiring themselves defense attorney in anticipation of potential riminal prosecutions.
