NBC finds DOJ removed most Jan. 6 press releases from website

@dcEmerald 🍀35

They appear to be doing this across govt websites - #CFPB had all its pre-Trump 2.0 news and blogs wiped this week and they are in the process of doing the same to Spanish and other translations. They are hideous for erasing history and the digital footprint of our govt.

Stalin would be proud…..I remember being taught about Stalin doing this in history classes….never thought I would see it happening again and in my own country….

Wish I knew one. I'm not built to just watch this happen and shrug my shoulders. I'm a vet who strongly believes in protecting and defending my country against insurrectionists. Trump himself is leading an insurrection, and we will stop him and them by any means necessary.

That ok. WE THE PEOPLE still have them

Pretty sure the Garland DOJ followed the records retention to the letter of the law and there is a copy somewhere in the archives

Also, the point of all this is to encourage the next #January6.

Last year sometime between May, when I last reposted the original link, and November, they finally noticed that this January 2017 report by our OSCE mission debunked Yankee Yanukovych’s claim that Russia never attacked Ukraine during his first term, and 404’d it: web.archive.org/web/20170131...

As long as Americans who were there or watched the events of January 6th, 2021 in news reports/videos are alive, the Trumpist liars can try to erase the truth but we will remember! And when he's gone, we will piss on his grave! And rewrite the truth to what it was before he tried to erase it!

The Department of Injustice is one big, criminal cover-up Operation.

One of the hardest questions in the world today is this one: “Which aspect of the Trump adminstration is the biggest; stupidity or malice?”

And the USA is one step closer to being a totally Authoritarian country. Don’t like truth or justice, just wipe it away.

We all watched this travesty. We cannot unsee it.

Removing documentation of federal records in all formats is a federal offence. Trump knows that because he was already found guilty of doing just that.

I don't know why they're bothering. He's going to incite something else, probably worse than J6.

Mrs. G6

Many news outlets will have retained copies, for when the USA is a democracy again.

The depth of dishonor, destruction, cruelty & corruption of DJT & GOP has no bottom. We saw on January 6, 2021! This Nov, 2026 #WeThePeople must vote to oust these GOP enablers. They & #PutinsPuppet have destroyed our monuments, alliances, institutions, honor & Rule of Law. Vote to keep our Republic

Tell me we have receipts

continentaldivide.bsky.social6

That is standard playbook for Trump’s Entity Formerly Known as the DOJ. So we will have to create new press releases. Keep a list of those pardoned. Those offenses still count.

retiredpatriot.bsky.social6

Retconning recent history. Won't be long before the shaman guy is a hero of the Republic. Sigh

Sunset Cove5

It can't be erased from Americans minds, they all saw what really happened on J6!

Dear GOP, no one with half a brain believes your bullshit excuse about Biden “weaponizing” the justice department against insurrectionists while you are actually using the FBI and DOJ, DOD as well, to persecute and prosecute anyone who defies your glorious leader. The truth cannot be hidden.

thrasher62.bsky.social5

They are all corrupt as hell, and it's right in our face! And yet they're still allowed to get away with this shit?? This is a lawless country🤬⚠️⚠️⚠️

joe-jacobs.bsky.social4

We have criminals running the government

“the vast majority of press releases pertaining to Jan. 6 defendants have been removed…” The fascists are — how to put it politely — doing fascism.

Jsfro4

Not deleted from my brain.

Maybe we can hire a hacker to change all the names of the insurrectionists, so the slush fund office can't verify them.

🌻Gabs🌻 🇺🇲🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦 🇬🇱3

But the records of the ones who were arrested, and charged even the records of the jerks who served some jail time, those records are there to stay, they can't be deleted or erased.. They might want to destroy or cover up the truth with orange make-up but the truth is still out there.

This is still up....for now. www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

US Ministry of Truth in action

And Scott Bessent has long ago destroyed Epstein’s paper trail at the US Treasury Dept connecting everyone in Trump’s orbit to massive corruption and human trafficking. It will require assistance from other countries to uncover it all.

They can never erase that disgraceful day. So many of us saved newspapers and magazines that show it in stark detail, and millions of us watched it unfold in real time in front of our eyes. We need this illegitimate regime to be excised and very soon. They are the enemy of all that good and worthy.

CritterLife 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🐈‍⬛🇨🇦🇺🇦2

That won’t change what happened. Some people still save magazines books videos and newspapers. The TrumpNAZIs can go pound sand.

Can we just acknowledge opening any federal government website may, in fact, be lifting the lid on a dumpster anyway? We have ways of preserving knowledge - no one sane, since this started in 2016, think it’s on the DOJ website.

gpyr56.bsky.social2

The good news is the Internet lives forever. You can't erase it all. This country needs to take a hard look at itself - much like Germany did after WWII. How did we get here and how do we never, EVER get here again.

Barry Hochberg2

Typical Trump administration. Removing things they don't like to tell a story that's false. They've been doing that everywhere with impunity.

Phillipe Copeland, PhD2

This is some straight up "1984" stuff.

Jessica J2

I bet they are on the Internet and the Wayback machine.

ventandwhine.bsky.social2

of course because it never happened - they were patriots in a quiet protest - and now we are rewarding them with a billion dollars.

rgnijhof.bsky.social2

It’s goes very very very quickly wrong in the US I am so incredibly happy that I live in Europe !!! We make our mistakes and waited to long to be independent from the US but we learn very very fast!!!! We are the old world and invented the new world so we can invent ourselves again!!!

groomee.bsky.social2

They can delete but I remember sitting watching it unfold live in the UK and being totally horrified!

knottygreenlady.bsky.social2

To the stupid now govt. I sat and watched January 6th events in disbelief. I watched all day and coverage all night. You can never erase or make us forget what happened!

They cannot erase what we the people know
