Prolific January 6 Prosecutor U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves Resigns

 On Monday, U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves announced his resignation, effective January 16, just before President-elect Trump takes office. Many conservatives viewed Graves' departure positively, as he had been a central figure in the aggressive prosecutions of individuals involved in the January 6 events, leaving behind a legacy many see as the weaponization of the DOJ against political dissent.

Graves, appointed by President Biden, became known for overseeing the DOJ’s significant efforts to prosecute those charged with the Capitol breach. His statement highlighted that approximately 1,600 individuals were charged, with nearly 1,100 already sentenced. Over 170 trials took place, with the DOJ winning more than 99% of them, including notable seditious conspiracy convictions.

Under Graves’ leadership, the DOJ's prosecutions of the Capitol breach resulted in more than 1,600 charges, an unparalleled response for a single event. He managed many of these cases as a priority. Over 332 defendants faced a unique charge related to obstructing official proceedings, which was later dismissed by the Supreme Court. More than 1,000 individuals were convicted, many receiving severe sentences for non-violent actions, raising concerns about the fairness of these proceedings.

Tragically, several defendants, including Matthew Perna, died by suicide, with their cases often linked to the DOJ’s use of serious enhancements in sentencing. In light of this, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced H. R. 7540, aimed at ensuring fair trials for protestors. She criticized Graves for his actions and argued that he should be held accountable for his decisions impacting families. Greene emphasized the disparity in prosecution, noting that violent acts by left-wing groups like Antifa went largely unpunished, contributing to perceptions of unequal justice.

Graves’ resignation signifies a controversial period in the DOJ's history, reflecting the need to restore trust in the justice system. A recent poll indicated that only 35% of Americans have confidence in the judiciary, showing a significant drop in faith over the past four years. Bridget M. Fitzpatrick will take on the role of Acting U. S. Attorney following Graves’ exit, as the DOJ faces the challenge of rebuilding its credibility.
