Marjorie Taylor Greene is already making threats to outgoing DC US Attorney Matthew Graves, who prosecuted most of the January 6th insurrectionist traitors.
This Monday, Graves announced his plans to retire on January 16th, ahead of Trump's inauguration, and as ABC News reported, Graves was a frequent target of Republicans over the crime rate in DC due to post-pandemic conditions he inherited, and during his term he "oversaw initiatives that significantly reduced crime in the District."
Don't expect that to ever make the headlines over at Fox or other right wing media. Here's more on his tenure from their report:
Graves' office implemented a systematic review of data targeting violent offenders, gun and drug-related violence, and determining which cases should be taken up for federal prosecution.
City leaders, including Graves, noted that a small group of people were the primary cause of much of the violence a focus that contributed to a 35% year-over-year decrease in violent crime in 2024.
When Graves was sworn in, he inherited a significant backlog from the pandemic of more than a thousand felony cases, the aftermath of the removal of the accreditation of the D.C. forensic lab, and a record number of motions from defendants seeking early releases. By 2023, his office had successfully cleared the backlog.
