It has been a tough week for many on the left, but none more so than federal prosecutors involved in the persecution of January 6th protesters.
Three prosecutors who spoke with ABC News described their devastated reaction to Donald Trump’s decision to pardon everyone involved in the protests, with one going so far as describing it as the worst week of their professional lives.
Among them was Ashley Akers, who worked on many of the cases that saw Trump supporters sentenced to long prison sentences.
She described the pardons “shocking” and said she had a “guttural” reaction to them.
“It really undermines not only the sacrifices that all these officers made, but the experiences that they went through,” Akers told the outlet.
“The public record — which is very clear and borne out in hundreds of trials — has shown that these officers are victims.”
Akers left the Department of Justice on Friday, adding that she was “incredibly sad” that her career in public prosecutions was coming to such an end.
Another federal prosecutor, who did not speak on the record but who remains at the department, said that dismissing the cases at the request of the president “goes against every instinct that I have.”
“When you are a prosecutor, state or federal, you pursue the case based on the evidence and based on the law, not based on any political consideration,” this person was quoted as saying.

”And to be told that you have to dismiss this case with overwhelming evidence is torturous,” they added.
Jason Manning, who left the DOJ over the summer to work for Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign, lamented that all his hard work could be undone with a “stroke of the pen.”
“The idea that all of this could be wiped away with this over with the stroke of the pen made me think, personally, that it was more important to me to participate in the election in a way that would try to prevent that outcome, even if that meant giving up this job that I loved,” he lamented.
All these individuals, and dozens if not hundreds more, worked on behalf of the Biden regime to punish, persecute and imprison Trump supporters for standing up against the widespread electoral fraud that took place during the 2020 presidential elections.
Unfortunately for them, Trump has not even completed his first week in office. There are still more than 200 more to go.
