Biden is gone from power. But politics isn’t done with him.
And now a DOJ whistleblower exposed Joe Biden’s crimes for all to see, and it isn’t pretty.
The Trump Justice Department’s decision to take down the government’s main database of Jan. 6 defendants has predictably drawn outrage from a Left-wing watchdog group, which claims — without evidence — that the move amounts to illegal destruction of official records.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a group notorious for its partisan attacks on conservatives, is now calling on the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Justice Department’s inspector general to launch an investigation.
Their goal? To keep the overblown “insurrection” narrative alive, even as the American people move on.
“The DOJ’s removal of this database is squarely in line with President Trump’s ongoing efforts to rewrite or erase the insurrection and likely violates federal law,” CREW insisted in a statement, demanding an inquiry and calling for the report to be reinstated.
The so-called “insurrection” database disappeared from the government’s website just days after President Trump took office, effectively wiping out a tool the Biden administration used to publicize its political prosecutions.
The database contained details on roughly 1,600 individuals — many of whom were subjected to harsh, selective prosecutions for simply being in Washington that day.
Mr. Trump, fulfilling his campaign promise to correct the injustices of the Biden administration’s weaponized DOJ, issued a blanket pardon to those targeted in the Jan. 6 trials.
However, the Justice Department has yet to explain why it removed the database from public access, remaining silent on the matter.
The National Archives responded to CREW’s concerns in a statement to The Washington Times, saying it is “aware of the concern raised by CREW” and will work with the Justice Department to review the situation. However, the agency also cast doubt on claims that anything unlawful had occurred.
“Under the Federal Records Act (44 U.S.C. 31), federal agencies are responsible for their web content and records management,” the Archives explained.
“Databases and other web content may be removed from public access while being preserved in accordance with the law.” In other words, just because the information isn’t online doesn’t mean it has been erased.
It’s not just the database that’s gone.
The FBI has also quietly removed its “Capitol Violence” webpage, which was used to solicit tips and promote the Biden administration’s aggressive pursuit of Jan. 6 protesters.
Additionally, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Washington scrubbed its “Capitol Siege” page, which detailed the often excessive charges brought against Trump supporters.
Despite these removals, individual press releases about specific cases remain available on the Justice Department’s website.
However, the broader move signals a shift away from the politically motivated obsession with Jan. 6 — one that the Left is clearly not ready to let go.
