I believe the example our team set for others to fight for justice without regard for the personal costs matters. The facts, as we uncovered them in our investigation & as set forth in my Report, matter. Experienced #prosecutors know that you cannot control outcomes, you can only do your job the right way for the right reasons." RESPECT
#DOJ #lawyers who have angered #Trump & allies R facing tough decisions about whether to stay in govt & how 2 best protect themselves from threats of retribution aft the Inauguration, including promises to fire them. Dozens of #prosecutors and #agents worked on cases that potentially make them vulnerable such as special counsel investigations of Trump, prosecutions of hundreds of his supporters who stormed the #Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, and contempt-of-Congress cases. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/some-justice-department-lawyers-look-for-protectionand-the-exits-41d30d1

#ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump 'resorted to #crimes' in his attempt to #overturn 2020 #election, #prosecutors say.
A new #court #filing #challenges Trump's claim that he should avoid a trial thanks to a recent #landmark #ruling by the #corrupt #US #SupremeCourt.
#Prosecutors say #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump was #engaged in '#privateConduct' during his '#criminal #effort' to #overturn the 2020 #election.
The #Trump team vigorously #objected to the #release of the #unsealed #court #filing, citing a #sensitive" #preelection time period.
#Drunk #racist and #TrumpSupporter faces #prison for #assaulting #mailcarrier with a #knife for putting flyer for #VicePresident #KamalaHarris in his #mailbox, say #prosecutors
A peek at RussellFrankValleau's #rapsheet — #AggravatedStalking, #PossessionofFirearms by a #Felon, #MaliciousDestruction of #Fire or #Police #Property, etc. — is enough to put him on the #shortlist for a #Trump #administration #cabinet #post.
…Within months of learning of the withdrawal, #prosecutors & #FBI agents were blocked by top #DOJ officials from obtaining bank records they believed might hold critical evidence, according to interviews w/people familiar w/the case as well as documents & contemporaneous notes of the investigation. The case ground to a halt by the fall of 2019 as #Trump’s then-AG, William P. #Barr, raised doubts about whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe of Trump.
