J6 Prosecutors Brag To Congress About Locking Up Americans For Misdemeanors
Two former prosecutors who prosecuted and pursued individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol are now revealing their genuine motives.
During a session before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the disgraced attorneys confessed to incarcerating Americans for minor offenses.
Mike Romano, a former federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Public Integrity Section, provided testimony last week at a hearing conducted on January 6, expressing that he is “proud” of the cases he managed, which led to the imprisonment of individuals present at the Capitol.
“Thanks to the efforts of our team, the Justice Department charged over 1,500 individuals with offenses and secured criminal convictions against nearly 1,300 individuals,” Romano stated. “We ensured that the rioters would be held accountable, regardless of how fleeting that accountability was. Our efforts established a public record of the crimes committed on that day.”
Another disgruntled former DOJ prosecutor, Sara Levine, expressed her frustration in an extensive, self-centered diatribe regarding her professional journey, detailing her hiring process, her contributions, their significance to her, and her eventual termination.
Levine did not shed tears or show concern for the numerous breadwinners in American households whose employment records were irreparably damaged by federal convictions. She took pride in her tenure at the DOJ and felt disheartened that Trump undermined her achievements.
“On January 20, 2025, the president granted pardons to nearly all defendants charged in connection with January 6 and commuted the sentences of all other rioters. I was devastated that all my efforts to seek justice for the officers and the nation were erased by a single announcement,” Levine stated, tears streaming down her face.

In the aftermath of January 6th, the Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden dedicated the subsequent four years to tracking attendance. The FBI conducted investigations into Americans within their residences, causing significant disruption to many lives.
The FBI placed a higher priority on securing convictions rather than addressing more pressing threats to the nation. The prosecutors who diligently worked to obtain convictions related to the events of January 6th are astonished at their own overzealousness, having prosecuted an excessive number of individuals.
In some instances, they violated the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of a prompt trial by holding certain individuals for more than a year prior to their trial and incarcerating others for minor offenses.
This situation arises concurrently with the consistent approval rating of President Trump.
According to the most recent polling data, Republicans have regained a distinct advantage over Democrats on the two issues that are of utmost concern to voters: the economy (R+8) and inflation (R+6).
Just last month, amidst escalating tariff tensions, a Napolitan News Survey indicated that Democrats were narrowing the gap—matching Republicans on the economy (R+1) and even slightly surpassing them on inflation (D+4).
However, the figures for this month signify a return to the broader trend observed earlier in the year, when Republicans maintained double-digit advantages on both matters (R+10 on the economy in January and February; R+11 and R+9 on inflation in February and January, respectively), as reported by the Napolitan News Service.
The resurgence in Republican confidence seems linked to favorable voter reactions to President Donald Trump’s recent trade agreement with China and increasing economic optimism. Inflation (29%) and the economy (25%) remain the foremost concerns for voters.
Immigration and health care are tied as the third most significant issues, each identified by 12% of voters. Republicans possess a substantial lead on immigration (R+16), while Democrats are regarded as more trustworthy on health care (D+12).
In summary, regarding the issue that voters prioritize the most, 42% express greater trust in Republicans, 41% in Democrats, 6% trust both equally, and 10% trust neither, as noted by the news service.
Concerning immigration enforcement, which encompasses mass deportations, Trump has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to “put an END to the quagmire that has been caused by the Radical Left,” following a ruling by a Biden-appointed federal judge that obstructed the deportation of illegal immigrants to South Sudan.
