Meet The DOJ's Newest Hire: This January 6 Rioter Who Chanted 'Kill Them! Kill Them' About Cops [View all]

Guess it was just a matter of time?


Pardoned rioter Jared Wise on January 6, 2021, from DOJ charging documents


Remember when pro-insurrectionists were claiming that there were FEDS at the Capitol riots egging on the crowd? Fox News, Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson, and Trump himself accused a guy named Ray Epps of that, even though Epps was a former Oath Keeper from Arizona who had no connection to the government at all.

But as it turns out there was at least one former FBI agent there encouraging the crowd after all, and now Ed Martin has named him as his counselor on the Weaponization Working Group! A choice so in-your-face lawless and corrupt that even the New York Times calls it a “remarkable development.”

Let’s take a gander at what the FBI said this guy, one Jared Lane Wise, did on January 6, shall we?

First he strolled into the Capitol building through the Senate Wing door, at 2:23 p.m, and clapped his hands in glee and triumph.

This was right after Trump gave his speech in the Ellipse then retreated to the White House to sip a Diet Coke and watch himself ranting at the crowd to “fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore” and muttering “I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so” and two minutes after Mike Pence was evacuated from the chamber to the Capitol loading dock, unsure if he was going to be able to certify the election, or be spirited away by Secret Service agents, or get hanged on the Ellipse instead.

After getting in and strutting around, Wise then left the building through a window, like a normal tourist does.
Once outside, he started screaming at police as they were being knocked down and beaten right in front of him: “You guys are disgusting. I’m former — I’m former law enforcement. You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can’t see it. . . . Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! Yeah, fuck them! Yeah, kill ‘em! Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em!”
