Jan. 6 Rioter Who Berated Cops as Nazis Now Works for Trump's Justice Department

Source: Rollingstone.com





‘Kill ‘Em!’
Jared Wise shouted at rioters to "kill" police guarding the Capitol. The former FBI agent had his case dismissed in Trump’s pardon spree

August 7, 2025



A former Jan. 6 defendant who urged rioters attacking the police guarding the U.S. Capitol to “Kill ’em! Kill ’em!” … is now working for the Trump Justice Department. He has been hired in a senior role in a unit tasked with unwinding the alleged “weaponization” of government against conservatives. This is the finding of an detailed NPR investigation that relies on the man’s own testimony in court, as well as police body camera footage from the infamous day of unrest.

Jared Wise, a former FBI agent from Bend, Oregon, traveled to Washington, D.C., to support Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021. After Trump’s rally at the Ellipse, Wise, who is in his 50s, joined the crowd that stormed the U.S. Capitol, and, according to NPR and federal charging documents, briefly entered the Capitol building through a breached door, later exiting through a broken window.

Nearly two hours later, according to federal documents, Wise was still on the scene when he began verbally berating cops who were attempting to restore order. “You guys are disgusting,” Wise said, invoking his own experience in law enforcement. According to federal documents, Wise compared the cops to Hitler’s secret police: “You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo,” he said, adding: “Shame on you!”

Wise then witnessed what the charging documents describe as “violence against law enforcement” that included “officers being knocked to the ground directly in front of him.” According to the documents Wise shouted at the rioters battling police: “Yeah, fuck them! Yeah, kill ‘em!” He added, chillingly, “Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em!”.....................

Just a pillar of morality and patriotism.

........... Wise’s participation in the events of Jan. 6 has not been an impediment in gaining employment with the Trump Department of Justice. In fact, it may have been an asset. According to NPR, Wise is now working as a “senior adviser” to a group tasked with unwinding a supposed “weaponization” of government under President Joe Biden against “perceived political opponents,” which allegedly included “unethical prosecutions” of Jan. 6 defendants.

This position puts Wise under direction of Trump’s anti-weaponization czar, Ed Martin, who previously ran a non-profit that raised funds for myriad notorious and violent Jan. 6 criminals, as Rolling Stone reported in May. Martin, NPR reports, has since argued for “restitution” for Jan. 6 defendants, whom the government is obliged to “make whole.”

For its part, the Trump administration is making no apologies for hiring Wise. It told NPR that “Jared Wise is a valued member of the Justice Department and we appreciate his contributions to our team.”......................................

I thought anyone who works for Dept. of Justice has to be thoroughly investigated (vetted) before they can be hired.

Many were assassins, possibly paid, that were hired to get the current people out and the MAGAs in.

J6 was a full-on coup d'etat.

Be sure to have a few felonies on your rap sheet. Only criminals need apply.

--When-- we get this government back to sanity, the democrats (and especially the president) better not say anything like "would be better if we moved on, etc., etc., etc." THIS time they should shake every damned department and fire everyone who was hired by trump or is anywhere near a republican mindset. I would go further and charge them all with treason and make them prove otherwise before being jailed for it, but that may be a bit too far. These people in this government now are not working in OUR service. We are paying for high criminals to kill us and our country, as well as creating the Bordello on the Potomac.
