Jared Wise, who assaulted Capitol police on #Jan6 was pardoned by Trump & now hired by DOJ!!

I am sure Lady Justice is crying!!


Interesting how Jared Wise, a former FBI employee charged with assaulting law enforcement on January 6, was hired as an adviser to the Justice Department after being pardoned by Trump.

No luck--Wise still collecting his tax payer paycheck


Its been 4 months and Repubs still have Wise on the payroll.
A January 6 defendant who urged fellow rioters to kill police officers should be fired from his job at the justice department, three Senate Democrats wrote in a letter to the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, on Wednesday.

Wise, a former FBI agent was at the January 6th insurrection, as violence broke out, Wise urged the seditionists to attack police saying “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!. He was charged with two felonies, but Trump closed the case and the DOJ hired him instead.
