Two former prosecutors who charged and went after those who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol are now coming clean about their true intentions.
During a hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the disgraced lawyers admitted to locking up Americans for misdemeanors.
Mike Romano, a former federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Public Integrity Section, testified last week at a hearing held Jan. 6, stating he is “proud” of the cases he oversaw, which imprisoned persons present at the Capitol.
“Thanks to the work of our team, the Justice Department charged more than 1,500 people with crimes and obtained criminal convictions against almost 1,300 people,” Romano said. “We ensured that the rioters would face accountability, no matter how short-lived. Our work created a public record of the crimes committed that day.”
Another angry former DOJ prosecutor, Sara Levine, wailed furiously in a long, egotistical rant about her career, how she was hired, what she did, what it meant to her, and how she was eventually fired.
Levine did not cry or express worry about locking up so many breadwinners in American families and permanently tarnishing their employment records with a federal conviction. She was proud of her work at the DOJ and disappointed that Trump obliterated her accomplishments.
“Jan. 20, 2025 the president pardoned almost all of the defendants charged on Jan. 6 and commuted the sentence of every other rioter. I was heartbroken all that effort to pursue justice for the officers and the country was wiped away with a single proclamation,” Levine said while crying.
