DOJ places on leave 2 prosecutors who said 'mob of rioters' carried out Jan. 6 attack

Donald Trump's Department of Justice is too busy protecting Jan. 6th rioters to stand up for equal justice for the American people. We're less safe because of Trump's pardons for these violent criminals; now we're seeing the consequences of repeat offenders.
