DOJ places on leave 2 prosecutors who said 'mob of rioters' carried out Jan. 6 attack

[Maximum Overkill 2,423]

Two federal prosecutors were informed Wednesday that they will be put on leave after filing a legal brief that described the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as being carried out by "thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters," sources familiar with their removals told ABC News.

The two prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their government devices and informed Wednesday morning they will be placed on leave, just hours after they filed a sentencing memorandum in the case of Taylor Taranto, the sources said.

Taranto was pardoned by President Donald Trump over his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol but faced a separate conviction for firearms and threat charges related to a June 2023 arrest near the home of former President Barack Obama where he was found in possession of two guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, as well as a machete.

A day before Taranto's arrest, he claimed he would use a car bomb to drive into the National Institute of Standards and Technology. 

In their sentencing memorandum, Valdivia and White used only two sentences to detail Taranto's involvement in the Jan. 6 attack. 

On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election," the memorandum said. "Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in Washington, D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building. After the riot, Taranto returned to his home in the State of Washington, where he promoted conspiracytheories about the events of January 6, 2021." ..<<

Loyalty over competence. This is why Trump’s admin is such a goon show.

They were prosecuting someone who plotted a car bomb, and use of guns, in an assassination of an ex-president. Also pardoned by Trump.

Probably should have stuck to facts of their case instead of 1/6 embellishment.

I think 2 paragraphs using language twice that Republican politicians were using as late as 2024 was as light as rationally possible.

Having said that he’s already served some time. Not as much time as maga would demand about a foiled assassination-plotter of Trump but still he’ll probably get off wuth time served, planned car bomb, guns, machete & backup ammo aside.

This is so pathetic.  It gets more embarrassing every day.
