Last fall, DOJ solicited internally for lawyers to become part of a team to prosecute the criminal acts which occurred Jan. 6th. Some who were interested were discouraged from signing up.

Discouraged, how so, KellyR? Could you cite some source for this?

I have a family member who is a DOJ prosecutor. Upon inquiry about joining the team, family member's boss discouraged it. Discussions with others revealed other lawyers who were interested in joining the team were also discouraged.

Thank you for your candid reply. I did wonder if you knew someone personally.
