“The Department of Justice’s removal of this vital information about its prosecutions arising from the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol is consistent with President Trump’s ongoing efforts to rewrite or erase the insurrection,” the CREW letter reads. In other words, every time a potential employer, landlord, new social or business contact, etc, would search somebody targeted for J6 they would read a dossier on each person filled with FBI and FOJ accusations and narratives that were never proven, along with links to documents with even more damaging allegations.” While there may not be an online record anymore, at least one Jan. 6 judge — Bill Clinton appointee Paul Friedman — has decided to take matters into his own hands by creating his own 138-page list of Capitol riot defendants, which he attached to his most recent ruling granting a DOJ dismissal to rioter Christopher Warnagiris.
