#DOJ apparently fired 17 year govt veteran #PR woman over her previous assigned role in crafting press releases regarding #January6th cases.
Patty Hartman, who held a supervisory #PublicAffairs specialist role for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington D.C.,said she was terminated wrongfully last week merely because her name appeared on hundreds of news releases issued over Jan. 6 riot cases. All her news releases were written in what she called a standard “boilerplate way, with just the bare facts” without inserting personal opinion or any injected political bias or commentary.
#Jan6th Capitol "insurrection" cases were largest prosecution in DOJ history, with about 1,500 people federally #charged of which more than 1,000 #Jan_6_defendants plead #guilty, and some 260 #convicted in formal #federal trials, according to official DOJ data.
