Emil Bove played a key role in investigating the January 6 Capitol riot as a federal prosecutor. However, four years later, in a position with the Justice Department, he has publicly criticized the ongoing investigation. This drastic shift has confused former colleagues, some of whom remember Bove as supportive of the initial investigations. They noted that he encouraged prosecutors to pursue cases against rioters and worked closely with the FBI, raising questions about his changing stance and its implications for accountability in the ongoing fallout from the Capitol attack.
At no point did I ever hear him or anybody else express concern about these investigations and these arrests that we were making.
Bove gave strong, direct encouragement to the line prosecutors to aggressively pursue the investigation, legal process, support FBI, etc.
