The Justice Department has hired a January 6 rioter who was seen on bodycam footage encouraging rioters to kill police officers at the Capitol. Jared Wise is now a senior adviser and counselor to Ed Martin, the director of the DOJ’s so-called Weaponization Committee, which was established by President Trump to go after his political enemies. The footage, obtained by NPR, was shown during Wise’s trial earlier this year — before Trump pardoned him along with about 1,500 Capitol riot defendants.
Jared Wise: “You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can’t see it, because you’re chasing your pension, right? Your pension, your retirement, right? That’s what runs your life, your retirement.”
Unidentified: “And the sad thing is they’re not even going to get their pension because it’s going to be worthless.”
Jared Wise: “Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! Yeah! [Bleep] them! Yeah! Kill ’em! Yeah!”
