Jared Wise Screamed “Kill Them” at Cops on January 6. Now He’s in Trump’s Justice Department

I don’t get upset easily. But this? This crosses the line. And if you’re paying attention, it should upset you too.

Jared Wise is not some guy who got caught up in the crowd. He’s not a fringe protester, not a confused onlooker, not a lost soul swept into something bigger than himself. He’s a former FBI supervisory special agent who spent over a decade inside the most powerful domestic law enforcement agency in America. He wore the badge. He took the oath. He knew exactly what the rule of law meant. And then he spit on all of it.

On January 6, 2021, Wise walked into the chaos with his eyes wide open. He wasn’t shoved or dragged. He wasn’t tricked or manipulated. He stood in the middle of the Capitol attack and made himself clear. His voice is on the body camera footage. He screamed at police officers, called them Nazis, accused them of being the Gestapo, and then shouted three blood-chilling words no American should ever yell at law enforcement: kill them. Kill them. Kill them.

This wasn’t in the heat of a scuffle. This wasn’t a figure of speech. This was a trained federal agent, out of uniform and off the leash, cheering on violence against the very people he once served beside. There’s no debate. No confusion. It’s on video. It’s in court documents. It’s fact.

And today, Jared Wise works for the Department of Justice.

He didn’t get hired to push paper. He didn’t land in a mailroom or on a maintenance crew. He was brought in as a senior adviser in a hand-picked Trump-approved internal unit known as the Weaponization Working Group. Their job is simple. Tear down anyone who investigated the January 6 insurrection. Go after prosecutors. Go after FBI officials. Turn the concept of justice into a tool of revenge.

Wise isn’t in the background. He’s not in the shadows. He’s front and center, and the Department of Justice has called him a “valued member” whose contributions they appreciate.

That’s not just absurd. That’s dangerous.

You don’t have to be a Democrat to be disgusted by this. You don’t have to follow politics closely. You don’t even need to know the full story of January 6. All you need is a basic sense of right and wrong. A man who publicly called for the murder of police officers during a violent assault on our Capitol should never be rewarded with a position of power. Period.

Wise was indicted. He faced charges. And then he was pardoned by Donald Trump this year, as part of a mass amnesty that wiped the slate clean for hundreds of January 6 criminals. Within months, he was walking the halls of power again, not as a cautionary tale, not as a lesson in failure, but as a trusted insider.

This is the kind of appointment that tells you everything you need to know about Trump’s second term. It’s not about unity. It’s not about law and order. It’s about rewarding the people who served him, no matter what they did. No matter who they hurt. No matter how disgraceful their past.

Jared Wise stood in front of police officers and incited others to kill them. Now he sits inside the DOJ.

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. If this doesn’t shake something in you, nothing will. This is not a policy disagreement. This is not a matter of ideology. This is a complete inversion of values.

The Department of Justice should be a place of integrity, not a dumping ground for pardoned extremists. And the American people deserve better than this poison injected into the veins of their own government.

Jared Wise is not a footnote. He’s a warning. He’s the product of a system that now rewards loyalty to power over loyalty to truth. And his presence inside the DOJ is a disgrace that should haunt every voter who ever believed in accountability.

So here’s your question. If a man like Jared Wise can scream for police to be killed, get caught on camera, get indicted, get pardoned, and then get hired by the Department of Justice, what does justice even mean anymore?

It means what we let it mean.

Now’s the time to stop letting the worst people win.
