They’re erasing the record. Not metaphorically — literally deleting it.
The Trump Justice Department removed official news releases from its website documenting the charges, convictions, and sentences of January 6 defendants. Real criminal cases. Cases that went through the federal court system. Gone. The DOJ called them “partisan propaganda.”
Let me be clear about what just happened: the government prosecuted these people, won those cases, and now is pretending the prosecutions were political bias. They’re not just pardoning the attackers — they’re rewriting the history of the attack itself.
This is what authoritarians do. They don’t just change the present, they go back and change the past. Make it harder to remember what happened. Make it easier to call anyone who does remember a liar.
It happened. It’s documented. And they’re trying to make you forget it.
