Top Jan 6 Prosecutor Resigns Amidst Political Turmoil
Greg Rosen, the former chief of the Justice Department’s Capitol Siege Section, resigned his position to join a private law firm. Rosen expressed alarm at President Trump’s pardons of January 6th rioters, deeming them a dangerous message condoning political violence. He highlighted the Justice Department’s exceptionally high conviction rate in these cases, attributing it to overwhelming evidence, not bias. Rosen also criticized the subsequent demotion or dismissal of prosecutors involved in these cases, viewing it as an attack on the department’s independence.
