The U.S. Attorney for Washington DC responsible for the arrest of 1,600 January 6th protesters, Matthey Graves, has announced his resignation in advance of President Trump’s inauguration.
WASHINGTON – Matthew M. Graves announced today that he is resigning as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, effective January 16, 2025, after serving in the role for more than three years.
“Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime,” said U.S. Attorney Graves. “I am deeply thankful to Congresswoman Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General Garland for placing his trust in me.”
[…] While working to address the violent crime challenges that were plaguing the District when he joined the Office, Mr. Graves also led the largest investigation the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has ever conducted to address the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. (read more)
Good. Wonder how many J6rs sue his @$$, PERSONALLY!!!!?
Haven’t the J6 Citizens – illegally stripped of their Legal Rights … and incarcerated because they were provided access to THEIR Capitol … filed a $50Billion Dollar suit ??
I’d like to sue Graves personally as well. The damage done to my husband and I is hard to calculate. Besides being financially drained for 4 years, harassed, defamed, and health problems all because we exercised our right to peacefully assemble in support of voting integrity, we want to make sure our government never targets law abiding citizens again. We are still alive, married and able to stay in our home. Not all J6ers were as fortunate.
You should. Hopefully there’s a MAGA-minded lawyer that would give you a good deal or do it pro bono.
Thank you for your poignant post, MrsJones. There is pretty good evidence of government instigated “agitprop” apparently intended to intentionally excite the gathered J6 crowd . . . How many agitators were there? We’ll probably never know for sure. J6 was a national tragedy.
May the Lord give you back tenfold what they took from you.
Amen.
The Lord will restore all that was taken by the enemy! Amen!
“These are the droids your looking for!”
Hey, Speaker McJohnson…..release the Jan 6 video tapes!!
You now, the ones showing Capitol Hill police firing tear gas, flash bangs, and rubber bullets into a peaceful crowd that had not yet begun to attempt to get into the capitol, dramatically (and illegally) escalating the event into a riot.
Also, the Jan 6 pipe bomb tapes!
I thought he already released them. I know Newsmax was showing video I had not seen before not too long ago. Maybe I’m wrong?
The criminal and treasonous acts/actors of J6 were in uniform, undercover, and inside the capitol.
No doubts whatsoever.
Let’s see the videos of how they handled Rosie Boyland..
Tucker already had the tapes and covered everything up after they threatened his life.
He only had a few. He never had them all.
Pity Sundance did not have more to say in his post.
Gramma’s Rule, and all that.
SUNDANCE probably erased it.
This POS Graves is our Domestic Enemy.
He should be treated accordingly with NO QUARTER.
All U.S. Attorneys are appointed by the President with the advise and consent of the Senate. Their term of service nominally ends at noon, January 20, with the inauguration of the new President, of any administration/party. The incoming administration usually tells the Attorneys whom they want to remain for the time being and who not.
No DC Swamp jury will ever convict any one of the Biden administration officials who engaged in a criminal conspiracy to deny their political opposition their constitutional rights. Or to convict any members of the Biden crime family. Some legally defensible means must be found to charge these defendents in venues outside of the DC court system.
Treason, sedition and Rico are NOT normal trials but tribunals. Enemy combatants..
The military and the militia have the authority in propper circumstances to enforce the laws.
To be more detailed, the standing forces MUST support local law enforcement and local law enforcement is supposed to lead.
The State controlled National guard is the “stand in for the militia” by 1o USC and DOES have law enforcement missions. The Militia is fully legit enforcing the law in the absence/corruption of local/state law enforcement (happens every time the “nat guard=militia is called out under emergency declaration by a governor).
If “civil” institutions (including judicial functions) are in failure, the militia/military has constitutional authority and legitimacy to operate the function until the functioning civil institution and civilian control can be re-established: well established in military law.
Right now, the military leadership is every bit as corrupt as the Civilian, and I marvel at those whose blind faith in the military, and in tribunals as a coarss to use in the pursuit of Justice.
Take off your rose colored glasses, and see the military as it IS, rather than as you want it to be.
It is a hierarchy, it is political, and two-tiered just as much as the civilian court system.
“The State controlled National guard is the “stand in for the militia” by 1o USC and DOES have law enforcement missions.”
No it doesn’t National Guard would have to be activated under Title 32 orders.
Well, Bless His Heart (if he has one)….
I doubt it.
Graves will never pay. He has Black Privilege in DC.
“Graves will never pay.”
That’s what all atheists think.
But God is never successfully mocked, and those who escape accounting here on earth will wish they had not. He made himself very, VERY clear on this matter.
Good riddance.
Holmes Norton – The Congresswoman’s work for full congressional voting representation and for full democracy for the people of the District of Columbia continues her lifelong struggle for universal human and civil rights.
From her phony baloney home page. I guess all those invited inside the WH on J6 weren’t “universal humans”.
Graves is a corrupt pos, who abused his office by persecuting american citizens. Examples have to be made, of the most corrupt.
I wish I could be all excited that Justice will be served, but I can’t.
I hope everyone knows this scumbag by appearance any time he shows up in public.
The Radical Influence of Fatima Goss Graves
Behind Matthew Graves stood his wife, Fatima Goss Graves, a radical activist whose influence extended deep into the DOJ’s agenda.
As president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), Fatima championed leftist policies that aligned perfectly with the Biden administration’s priorities. Soros-funded radicalism under Fatima’s leadership, the NWLC received significant funding from George Soros-backed entities, including the Tides Foundation and the New Venture Fund. These organizations are known for their efforts to undermine American institutions and promote radical leftist ideologies.
Court-Packing Schemes
Fatima was a vocal advocate for packing the Supreme Court, aiming to dilute its conservative majority and turn the judiciary into a tool for progressive policies. Her activism reflects the broader Marxist agenda that has infiltrated federal institutions under the Biden administration.
The Graves Duo: Corruption in Tandem
Matthew and Fatima Goss Graves operated as a power couple deeply embedded in the left’s machinery. Matthew weaponized the DOJ targeting conservatives, Fatima advanced the ideological framework that justified his actions. Together, they turned public service into a platform for radical Marxism.

Graves is personally responsible for the death of Mathew Perna , who committed suicide after graves piled on extra charges to his case.
What was done to the J6 people was not for breaking a law it was done to them for what they believed in.
And as an example to other patriotic Americans who might contest stolen elections – or any government malfeasance – in the future.
I am all for picking him up and putting him in jail until trial. Ask a few of the J6 people that have not had a trial yet, but set in Marxist torture facilities. Years they have waited for trial.
I want everyone involved in those cases but in jail for years without a trial.
Start with judges, prosecutors, crooked defense lawyers, FBI agents, local law enforcement right down to the crooked juries they hand picked to convict these people.
Every damn one of these traitors must pay.
While they are waiting trial, I suggest a few booster shots to keep them “healthy”….
I like your way of thinking
Never forget who is being pardoned,
And who is still incarcerated,
20 days before inauguration….

we still coming to arrest you and charge you with hundreds of crimes and mistreatment of prisoners, etc, etc. Ain’t no place on earth you can hide…..
The orange jump suit will go so well with his tan..
So he locked all these people up because:
He believed they were guilty and felt he was doing the right thing.
He is being blackmailed.
He was threatened with bodily harm.
He was bribed.
They are running like rats.
Dishonor of many lifetimes
Rope, Tree
If Pam Bondy becomes Attorney General of the United States, she had better have the backbone and stomach to go after criminals just like this that arrested grandma’s for merely walking on the sidewalk outside the capital. Make him spend his retirement money on attorneys.
Don’t count on it.
no faith in Bondi.
At some point there needs to be accountability for this malicious weaponization against people with opposite political beliefs. This cannot stand.
Go after him for the atrocities his office perpetrated upon these poor souls…
While the venue may not be ideal…bankrupt his ass lawyering up like he did the poor defendants and take him to the mat…
Karma’s a bitch chump…
He better find a good place to hide.
Meet the activist (Msrxist!) wife who networks the anti-MAGA White House By Julie Kelly
RealClearInvestigations-
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland is the public face of the government’s unprecedented effort to identify, arrest, and prosecute those connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol. But the person handling the day-to-day management of the one of the largest and most politically freighted efforts in the history of American law enforcement has largely flown under the radar: Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
An appointee of President Biden, Graves’ office has prosecuted at least 1,100 Jan. 6 defendants – including roughly 200 people so far this year. Republicans claim that the Justice Department’s steady pace of Jan. 6 arrests and Graves’ prosecutions aim to keep one of Biden’s animating narratives in the news – that, as the president put it, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”
The political nature of the Jan. 6 prosecutions is illustrated by the long partisan history of Graves and his wife, Fatima Goss Graves.
According to documents on file with the U.S. Senate, Matthew Graves, a registered Democrat, served as a domestic policy adviser to the Biden campaign in 2020. According to the questionnaire submitted for his Senate confirmation, he “assisted with Vice-Presidential vetting for the Kerry Campaign in 2004,” resulting in the nomination of John Edwards, well before an extramarital affair got wide attention and helped end Edwards’ 2008 presidential campaign. Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington’s Democratic delegate to the House of Representatives, recommended Graves for his influential current post.
Recently, Graves declined to pursue charges against Hunter Biden for tax offenses. And his wife is an influential progressive activist who has frequently visited the White House as her husband has pursued the president’s political opponents.
The Graveses seem particularly close to Vice President Kamala Harris. Graves and Harris’ husband, Douglas Emhoff, were both partners at DLA Piper law firm in Washington before Graves took his new assignment. Goss Graves has attended several meetings with Harris and her staff over the past few years; her social media accounts feature numerous photos of the vice president.
Meena Harris, the vice president’s niece, is an NWLC board member. (It’s unclear whether board members are compensated.)
The National Women’s Law Center is a beneficiary of some of the richest foundations in the world; the Ford Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation are listed as donors in a report by InfluenceWatch. The Tides Foundation, heavily funded by global activist George Soros, has donated at least $45,000 to the NWLC since 2017.
Contributions spiked in 2021, the year Biden took office and her husband was confirmed as arguably the country’s most powerful U.S. attorney. The group reported $67.7 million in assets in 2020; in 2021, that figure skyrocketed to $101.7 million, a 44% increase.
That same year, grant money from deep pockets tied to the Democratic Party started to flow in. Two of NWLC’s largest benefactors are satellite nonprofits tied to Arabella Advisors, a multi-billion-dollar “consulting company” run by a former Clinton administration official that the liberal Atlantic magazine has described as “the massive progressive dark-money group you’ve never heard of” and “the indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money.
The NWLC received $993,000 from the New Venture Fund and $200,000 from the Hopewell Fund, two affiliates in Arabella’s network, in 2021. Records indicate it was the first year either nonprofit donated to the NWLC.
In a video, Goss Graves helps amplify unproven allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.
A big part of Goss Graves’ work is delegitimizing and reconfiguring the Supreme Court. For example, she was deeply involved in the organized opposition to Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination in 2018. After President Trump announced Kavanaugh’s nomination, Goss Graves spoke at a nighttime rally outside the Supreme Court. “We are not going back to the days when women were considered a pre-existing condition,” Graves shouted into the microphone as Sen. Bernie Sanders stood beside her. “We know Judge Kavanaugh’s record. We know Trump’s promises. If we all join together, we will win this fight!”
Goss Graves then helped amplify unproven allegations that Kavanaugh committed sexual assault as a teen and college student. She accused Senate Republicans in 2018 of “trotting out the 1991 playbook” in comparing the treatment of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to that of Clarence Thomas accuser Anita Hill. (Hill is a NWLC board member.) As co-founder of the “Time’s Up Defense Fund” formed in response to the #MeToo movement, Graves helped organize a national walk-out in support of Ford and fellow Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez in September 2018.
Goss Graves now is a leading figure in a broad coalition that wants Clarence Thomas removed from the Supreme Court for alleged ethics violations, which the justice vigorously denies. NWLC signed on to a six-figure ad campaign this spring as part of an umbrella organization called “Alliance For Justice,” demanding Thomas’ resignation
The blitz involved posting “video ads and banners that appeared online in major national outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Politico, Fox, and The Hill,” according to the group’s website.
While ProPublica, the New York Times and other influential outlets have suggested that the partisan, political efforts of Thomas’ conservative wife, Ginni, raise questions about the justice’s impartiality, they have ignored potential conflicts involving the Graveses.

People should lose their lives for lying or bearing false witness
Is the Thug standing behind Graves also “resigning”???
President Trump needs to fire every lawyer in the Washington DC Office of the US Attorney because of BURROWING.
What they will do is take all of Graves’ attorneys in management and demote them to line prosecutors on January 16th so that President Trump won’t fire them. It’s just a paper demotion because they will keep their management salary and wait patiently for the next Democrat President!.
Matthew Graves wiki; At DLA Piper, Graves represented Qatar and foreign banks accused of financing terrorism, including Bank of Palestine, Arab Bank PLC, and Bank of Beirut.[3][4] Politico reported in 2021 that Graves also represented Gazprom Neft, “a Russian state-owned energy company with a market cap north of $30 billion.”[5]
No family info, when I see this I just assume some IC association.
Neither Graves nor the wife mysteriously have any family background at all.
Took a quick Glance at DLA Piper (Graves law firm). Very distinguished stable of associates at least one (AB Krongard) was the #3 at CIA. Another is the first gentleman, Doug Emhoff.
Really weird a juiced-up attorney would take a demotion from such a prestigious firm to prosecute trespassers.
Someone sounds skeert.
“Mr. Graves also led the largest investigation the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has ever conducted to address the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021”
… minus one very elusive and cunning “pipe bomber”…
You mean the pipe bomb that most of the Secret Service and DC Police knew was there! LOL
“Violent attack”????? BS.
I have never seen any one administration have so many weird creepy looking people. There is something so off w/these people.
Run, mothertrucker, ..run but you can’t run far or fast enough to evade Karma.
The Process IS the punishment, and you are about to experience it, first hand.
You will soon witness every federal judge and appeals court judge in Washington DC that ruled President Trump had absolutely no immunity from prosecution or privileged communications whatsoever so will swear on a mountain of Black’s law books the Matthew Graves, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, Jack Smith, CoAngelo, Judge Chutkan, Bruce Reinhardt, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis and Chris Wray ALL HAVE ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY from prosecution and all of their communications are privileged!
Crap Weasel
A candidate for self composting if I’ve ever seen one.
The quintessential empty suit who used to bore me at meetings, conference calls, you name it.
Graves was but a tool of Garland and Pelozy. On J6, Pelozy’s daughter was roaming the halls of the Capitol with a camera, filming the events. Is this normal behavior? Was she not worried for her safety, as we were told the rioters were killing cops and beating people? No this was not normal behavior. Pelozy, as speaker of the House, was in charge of the Capitol Police, numbering about 1600. If you have seen the videos of the first gate that was breached, there may have been 10 LEO. Why didn’t the Speaker have more of her police there? Why did she turn down the National Guard? Said it was a case of “bad optics.” When does optics take precedence over safety, especially since the House was in session? And now we hear the National Guard didn’t get the go signal until about 5:00 pm. If Pelozy was really concerned about safety, seems like she would have been Screaming over the phone to get some help there. She did not. IMO, she wanted a riot. The Capitol Police were holding the doors open for the J6 crowd. Sounds like they were given orders to let people in. Why? In Pelozy’s motive, she wanted to “entrap” them. Having her daugther in the halls filming the people was one more way they identify the rioters. It was all a set up.
Piglosi was key in orchestrating J6, in order to deflect and cancel the planned challenge on the floor of the House of certifying the election. She called off the 10K Nat’l Guard troops offered by Trump. I believe she was behind the changing of the official boundary of the perimeter of the Capital, so as to include anyone walking on the sidewalk. Etc, etc.
“Insurrection” my @ss.
He needs to serve a day in jail for virtually every charge leveled against eveyone who is pardoned by President Trump.
Justice must be applied swiftly to corrupt DOJ attorneys like Mr Graves. He should suffer in prisoner under the same conditions and legal depredations which he imposed on innocent J6 prisoners.
Evidence of a Coward who knows he’s wrong. Nothing to defend, there’s no reason to stay. Cowards always run away.
Patel has said there will be no investigations of former evil doers.
Get that through your thick skulls.
When did he say that?
Provide the quote and source.
Why are all of them lawyering up?
Arrest this imbecile and bar him from practicing law and put his criminal butt into prison.
May the rats continue to scurry.
I want Justice for all the J6 attendees who got illegally swooped up in the White House sponsored dragnet.
I’m surprised that Graves and Loeb didn’t arrest Julie Kelly. You know that they read every single one of her emails and texts plus listening to her phone calls.
I am too spitting angry right now to comment without getting a knock on the door. Suffice it to say that we’re going to need a bigger prison in 3 weeks when the J6ers get out. Maybe revoke prosecutorial immunity and qualified immunity.
The tree of Liberty isn’t tall enough for this project.
Your anger in the face of such institutional injustice, penal violence against mostly innocent patriots really, is fully appropriate. Lack of anger would be a sign something is seriously wrong in one’s soul. As Sundance has said here – “cold anger” is the best anger, the most likely to achieve victories.
I don’t think prosecutorial immunity applies to Prosecutorial Misconduct, which is exactly what Graves did.
This also applies to Graves and the judges in the Jsix cases,
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law
“Deprivation of rights under color of law refers to the act of depriving a person of their rights while acting in an official capacity and using the power of the law as a weapon. This can occur when federal or state agents, such as police officers, prison guards, judges, or other public officials, violate someone’s constitutional rights while performing their official duties.” ~ AI
Sanitizing the corrupt DC Circuit Court along with the FISA judges that have played their despicable roles the past 16 years would be another step in the right direction to secure actual justice and safeguard our constitutional freedoms/rights.
Dissolve the illegal DC court.
The town square seems like a great place to plant a “tree of Liberty”.
The bad news is the Biden regime is quietly releasing terrorist prisoners from Gitmo as fast as they can since the election.
The good news is there must now be plenty of open cells in Gitmo just waiting for some new occupants.
I prefer a class-action lawsuit against the DOJ for a bazillion dollars. Revenge is best served cold.
NO!!! Apparently you wish to punish your fellow citizens by suing the federal government which only has the money it has stolen from your neighbors.
WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS SO MUCH? THE GOVERNMENT WILL ONLY STEAL FROM US TO PAY YOU YOU MONEY GRUBBING LOW LIFE!
Sue these individuals so they pay in their individual capacity. Bankrupt them.
Where ya’ll think your going? To Canada with Springsteen and DeNiro? Old Matthew dare boy, you may be in Grave legal danger.
If he was smart he would go to a country with no extradition agreement with the United States, like China or Cuba.
it won’t help…justice like gravity is steady and enduring..
besides what is the fun is him making it easy.
He’s on the list…right near the top…
God Bless America
