Rep. Raskin wants to know how many pardoned Jan 6 criminals are now DOJ officials.

I'd like to know the same thing. How many of these criminal thugs, many of them with prior felony convictions, are now officials of Trump's Dept of "Justice".

Here's a link to an article which contains a link to Raskin's letter. Raskin's letter identifies two of the J6 thugs who are now DOJ officials -- not secretaries, not cleaning crew, but OFFICIALS.

This is what happens when you don't do the background checks. We are really a lawless country at this point. The president will pardon loyalists, no matter the crime. DHS will hire criminals that are loyal to Trump. There is no morality left. Fuck the rules, smoke pot every one, no one is in charge.
