EXCLUSIVE: Trump DOJ's Top 'Antifa' Prosecutor Marched with Crowd on Jan. 6

Source: TPM



On Jan. 6, 2021, a man approached the Capitol who looked like many others in the crowd that day: white, with a Trump 2020 hat on and a shirt marking his service to the country in Afghanistan.

But this one was different. Brian W. Lynch was months into a new job as a federal prosecutor in Maryland when he attended the march on the Capitol. Yet, somehow, Lynch’s presence at the Capitol that fateful day has not been publicly reported until now, more than five years later. In the meantime, Lynch remained at DOJ and, under the second Trump administration, received a big promotion: He’s now running a national task force to prosecute left-wing political violence.

A DOJ official confirmed to TPM that Lynch “was present but never entered the capitol, left the grounds after a brief period, and did not commit and was never accused of any violation of law.”

The prosecutor, Brian W. Lynch, did not return TPM’s requests for comment.

Did you March on January 6th ???

If you answer no, your application is tossed.

If you answer yes, you are hired.

This administration is not interested is hiring competent honest people.

They are looking for the bottom of the barrel.
