A Lead J6 Inquisitor Gets the Ax--Then Whines to the Media
2025-07-29
[Julie Kelly] After volunteering to help lead the most politically-charged and abusive prosecution in U.S. history, Michael Gordon got his walking papers last month from Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Hey Mike, sucks to be you ,eh ?
Some of the details contained in a lawsuit filed this week by three fired Department of Justice employees brought a big smile to this Jan 6 reporter.

Over the past month, Attorney General Pamela Bondi has fired several DOJ employees as part of a rolling purge, which began in late January, of bad actors still populating the systemically corrupt agency. Three employees—former assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gordon, former D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Patricia Hartman, and former ethics chief Joseph Tirrell—are suing the DOJ, claiming the dismissals violated their civil service and Constitutional rights.

How Hartman, who for four straight years did little more than crank out a steady stream of press releases bragging about J6 arrests, convictions, and sentences, learned of her firing is particularly gratifying given her nefarious role as a key J6 propagandist:

"At approximately 3:50 PM EDT on July 7, 2025, Ms. Hartman was in her office working on a press release when her computer suddenly shut down," the complaint read. "As she was in the midst of calling the Help Desk for support, another DOJ official...came to her door and handed her a one-page document, titled ’MEMORANDUM FOR PATRICIA A. HARTMAN’ from ’THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’ with the subject line, ’Notice of Removal from Federal Service.’"

Delish. (Hartman this week called her firing "psychological terrorism." She would know.)

Gordon was informed by his supervisor on June 27 that he was getting canned.

"Mr. Gordon was directed to turn over his...government devices and access cards, pack up his personal belongings, and leave the building."

#2  More treason crap going free. Gordon criminals should be in Gitmo waiting 25 years for a trial.

#1  This is one thing that has always bothered me about government employees. Ms. Hartman should try working in a for-profit corporate environment where layoffs are like tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes or wild fires. If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, you lose your job. If you don't get your work done, you lose your job. If you piss off the wrong boss, you're gone. I think our government would be far more efficient if government employees had to live and work in that kind of environment.
