Dhillon continues
Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ Civil Rights Division, reposts a message referring to Don Lemon as one of “today’s klansmen.”
Judges have rebuked Justice Department officials for commenting on open criminal cases.
I guess I’ll just go to my grave reminding people that the Jan. 6 attack occurred during the *Trump* administration.
The arrests started under Trump, who said on Jan. 7, “to those who broke the law, you will pay.”

Notably, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes sat in the front row for the hearing.
He was convicted of seditious conspiracy and his 18-year prison sentence was commuted by Trump.
(Unlike most Jan. 6 defendants, Rhodes did not receive a full pardon, so that conviction remains on his record.)
We fact-checked the first hearing of the GOP House committee re-investigating Jan. 6.
At one point, a member suggested Biden was president during the riot - which would be impossible without time travel.

Trump also made a similar comment on Truth Social in 2023.
Trump has previously said that journalists should be jailed until they reveal the source of confidential leaks.
He suggested that the threat of prison sexual assault would lead reporters to cooperate with leak investigations.
I sat down with Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, who both defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 and experienced some of the most brutal violence that day.
